...Offs. If there is one constant theme when artists talk about SoHo, it is simply that they want to be left alone. It is one of the few remaining areas of Manhattan where there is a real symbiosis between groups and occupations. Everything that is needed to outfit a studio, do up a loft or make an electronic sculpture lies within a few blocks, among the tool-rental businesses of Greene Street, the lumberyards of Spring and Wooster, the hardware stores on West Broadway, and the bazaars of secondhand circuitry, gadgets and plastics that line Canal Street.

An outfit called the National Manufacturing Co. had nearly 100 workers on split shifts turning out 80,000 illegal tapes a week at its factory in Phoenix, Ariz., when marshals recently raided the place after a suit was brought by 59 music-publishing firms.

Their activity...
...Last week Lee was tickling his candlelit keys and twinkling his athletic knees in a wardrobe that even for flesh-fatigued Las Vegas seemed a bit much: red-white-and-blue hot pants. And jeweled shoes with matching socks. And a red-white-and-blue purse. Cost of the outfit: $4,000, which, after all, is a mere pittance compared with the $1,000,000 or so that the world's prettiest pianist has spent on clothes over the past twelve years...
