photo by Dale Cotton Love is an art form surely removed from its element… Pyramids are first made of flesh and hisses, portals… The greatest Americans have not been born yet, they are waiting for the past to die… SAM SHEPARD
photo by Dale Cotton I used to buy Nina Simone ice. She was always nice to me. She called me, “Dahling…” My mom carried a 45 for a while — a child on one hip; a pistol on the other… PATTI SMITH
photo by Dale Cotton Sam and I are old pals. We met in 1970 — we were staying in the Chelsea Hotel in close proximity (laughs). One night I had a strange dream and he said, “You should write it down.” So I did: “Have you seen Dylan’s dog? It’s go wings…It can fly…” Sam got me this guitar in 1970. I still have it and we’re still friends…a 31 Gibson..it’s priceless but most of all because Sam got it for me…
