This is not a serious question, but rather a follow-up suggested by
Larry's late Friday question.
For a fun use of a library, go to You Tube and search for the video to
"Head over Heals" by Tears for Fears. I loved that video when it came
out in 1985. It had a fairly non-stereotypical look (although it did
have shh-ing).
I haven't seen the video since it first came out. Having worked during
the '90s in the Research Library at New York Public Library, I thought
that it might have been filmed there. I finally found it on You Tube,
and it was not the Research Library. It might have been the Jefferson
Market branch in Greenwich Village West (5th Ave. & 14th St.), but I'm
not totally sure. The monkey is wearing a Red Sox jersey, which would
suggest Boston.
Does anyone know where this video was filmed?
By the way, the mixture of people, some of whom were unusual (such as
the person wearing a gas mask, the monkey, etc.) is indeed very typical
of many of the clients in New York Public Library branches.
