There are eight million stories in the Naked City, but it took the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to rip the sheets off of the most lurid tale of law enforcement gone crazy ever told: Betty Vs. The NYPD. Working undercover, famed New York City Grunge photographer Michael Lavine got down and dirty on the still-filthy back lots of the Mortville section of Brooklyn to capture all of the sordid action. Starring comedic bombshell, the fearless Bridget Everett, this video is definitely NSFA - Not Safe For Anyone - but especially the mayor, the head of the Police Union, and the New York Post!
