One of the really important things about the Eye is it was an incubator for young talent and it was documenting the scene,
The beauty of newspapers, especially a local underground newspaper, they preserve an aspect of kind of an underground commercial culture of which there's really not evidence of.
It's everything. It's like, 'hey, welcome to the East Village.' Like, where to eat, where to party, you know, where to hang,
It was sort of the paper of record of its time
