The sad saga of Al Goldstein continues and the vultures at the NY Post’s Page 6 are all too happy to provide the details.
Homless horndog Al Goldstein was spotted at his former workplace, the Second Avenue Deli, receiving a bit of charity: free pickles. The penniless ex-porn publisher told his former co-workers that he would take the pickles back to Bellevue’s homeless shelter, where he’s been staying since he was fired from his job as a greeter at the deli. Goldstein has managed to drum up some cash by cooperating with the tabloids. He recently got a $500 check from The Globe, which photographed him sleeping on the floor of Bellevue
I’m amazed there hasn’t been a scumrock reunion show benefit for this pudgy god, this prince of the city, this idol of millions. For shame.
Joe, I’ve asked twice now if anyone has an address to send loot, soup, etc. to Al. No response thus far. He’s given such splendid entertainment over years via the pages of Screw, his diatribes agains David’s Cookies, Hammacher Schlemmer, 47th St. Photo, Tel-Aviv Limosines, etc. it’s kind of agonizing to see how things have turned out. Supposedly not a great guy to work for, but beyond his ex-employees, surely someone else remembers Al fondly?
yea – al was great – I miss his show “midnight blue” – sorry to hear he’s suffering so –
Frankly,I think it serves the bastard right.
