The Chill Room, May 23, 2009 0100 PST, on killradio.org.

192k, 75 minutes, a show about Edie Sedgwick (1943-1971).

"You better do something quick, she's your lover now," warned Bob Dylan. Edie Sedgwick blazed a path across the public consciousness in the mid-60s and has, despite serious problems and even death itself, stayed there.

In this show I outline the details of Edie's cometary trajectory, play some of the music she informed and inspired, and offer several points of view on who she was and how she did.
