new york city in 1977. we watched a 2007 documentary called ny77: the coolest year in hell on vh1 the other night. new york city was riddled with crime and many parts of the city was in disrepair. at the same time, creative music in the forms of disco, punk and hiphop were spilling out of basements and onto the streets. add in the hysteria-causing "son of sam" serial killer and a 25-hour pandemonium of a blackout, you get a unique slice of pop-american history. also, the graphics are cool too. enjoy this clips on spike.
