I don’t think I ever knew this before. Thanks, Jayne! And thanks to Wikipedia (dubious source it can be) I also learned he’s the “Little Joe” in Lou Reed’s Walk On The Wild Side:
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City’s the place where they say,
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey Joe
Take a walk on the wild side…
You can visit Joe’s official site here.
Joe Dellesandro (Little Joe), the man behind the zipper…on Sticky Fingers. Little Joe is considered a “Warhol Superstar.” He has starred in a number of films by the artist including Trash, Flesh, and Heat. Sadly the rumor that the famous crotch belonged to Mick Jagger is incorrect!
