Kim Gordon Revisits Iconic Knicks Jersey Moment on Late-Night TV

When Sonic Youth played David Letterman's Late Show in 1994, a barefoot and pregnant Kim Gordon led the band through "Bull In The Heather" wearing the jersey of New York Knicks star John Starks. Gordon, now based in Los Angeles, was back in her longtime home base of New York this past Saturday — coincidentally, the 20th anniversary of Sonic Youth's Rather Ripped — when the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years. "so happy to be in NYC!" she posted on Instagram along with footage of New Yorkers in the streets joyously singing "Empire State Of Mind."
