Gary Comenas, author of the much-cited website warholstars.org, nearly died of heart failure in July 2013. Visitors to his London bedside included English models and celebrity stylists he had befriended in New York in the mid-'80s, bringing back a magical time of ecstasy and nights out clubbing. His sister's visit recalls him to his boyhood in southern California-his loss of innocence at age twelve, a deep dive into the punk scene in San Francisco, heroin, love. The fun-loving Brits changed his world; he followed them to London. Working in the press office at Island Records, he continued his up-and-down life of excess through London's gay breakout and the transformation of AIDS from a death sentence to a manageable disease.
