I pretty much started taking acid right away
I was the worst candidate for that type of thing
I've sought out and had conversations
you see all the pictures
I never had a good time
but back then there were maybe something like 200 celebrities
so that's one way something like that can happen
an out of body experience for five to 10 minutes
I didn't like hovering above myself
I wanted to get rid of the color
it was bad, I had to leave, I didn't want to share my blanket or be "all one"
that's what jimi hendrix and marilyn monroe died from
you see all the pictures
people who have money
jimi hendrix or gram parson or jim morrison or janis joplin or kurt cobain
I picked up a book on them
kerouac, he really became kind of a republican
but, I think that people underestimated how intelligent and how well read he was
and I think that really got to him
like what happened to jackson pollock, being famous was different, it's like
I don't know
I bought brigid berlin's cock print book
I just love the mysticism, the things people save
in the middle of god only knows where
like john coltrane or something, staring straight into the camera
yeah, I don't know
looking back, or going through a door and thinking
I was always afraid because I just didn't fit in
the sound was complicated, more sophisticated than your garden variety pop songs
it still seems weird to me that someone could come out of that type of existence
but that's the weirdest thing about celebrity
I was a completely clueless teenager
keith richards holding a bottle of jack daniels, lozenge eyes lozenge face
standing in a field, sepia toned
the color of a much more psychedelic type of music
the color of pissing on ice
I wanted to go back to that field and take a photograph of it
