The rare-book dealer Glenn Horowitz reshaped a staid business with a combination of acumen and gall. One longtime customer said, “For grifters, Glenn’s a scholar, and for scholars, he’s a grifter.”

Interviewed Pete Townshend for the Standard. He has opened “The Townshend Studio” in his old University - a room of vintage synths on which he recorded Baba O’Riley, Tommy etc. We talked about the crisis in arts education, plans for The Who, Oasis & more.

I bumped into The Boss himself in the corridor after the interview, saying ‘hi Bruce’ just quietly enough for him to get away with pretending he hadn’t heard me.
