Patti Boyd,
She said, “George and I think you are the star of this show! Keep it up!” Not only did this answer my silent breathless question, but it made my night.
Willie Nelson
Bob Dylan.
Ray Davies
Keith Moon
Chris Hillman
I wondered why he didn’t change his phone number.
Michael Winner,
We went to a bash at Roman Polanski’s pad once, and I gave him my phone number. He was definitely not normal.
Emmylou Harris,
Gram had gotten thick and clumsy, like a puffy old man, way before his time. He wasn’t quite twenty-seven when he OD’d in his favorite spot in the desert at the Joshua Tree Inn.
Gram had always wept easily; he was so fucking sensitive, he could barely stand himself.
Jo-Rei church
I was raving on into his tapemachine, telling him what I wanted him to do to me, when that voice said, “Pamela . . .?” I was so stunned, I was choked into silence, and then Marlon Brando said, “Pamela, don’t hang up.” He must have known I would do just that, and I did. I sat staring at the phone, unable to breathe. After a couple of minutes of hyperventilating, I took a long swig of stinging coffee-flavored confidence and redialed the number. He picked up immediately
Hollywood Stars,
Ernest & Julio
no one else existed after he walked in,
Lane Caudell.
I wore my jeans, tied my hair in pigtails, and blended into his realm, wishing I were one of the locals so Lane and I could run the Laundromat or gas station and never have to go back to the real world. Ha ha. Who was I fooling? This was the real world!
It was important to have somebody to pine over.
Chuck told him right from the start that pinned eyes were a no-no,
Huh?
Robert De Niro,
Bud Cort
Yvonne De Carlo,
Michael Des Barres
Aquarius with a cancer moon.”
That first day with Michael Des Barres was full of hard work, a lot of drugs, and some inspired conversation regarding James Dean, Elvis Presley, and Krishnamurti.
Ted Danson,
never told Lane about the GTO’s, but Michael adored our album, and even said that he had had a big crush on me in 1970.
He had already been married to his “sort of” old lady for a mere three weeks.
He didn’t take many showers, and his teeth were all chipped from banging them into the microphone, but I found myself wanting to see him again.
Woody Allen!
rolling,
E?
Sardi’s with Dick Cavett,
she told me she was with Michael Des Barres at the Hyatt House and he was threatening to jump seven stories if I wasn’t knocking on his hotel-room door within thirty minutes. The nerve of this guy!
he let me become me.
Michael went back to England to dispose of his “girlfriend,” and I began the process of telling all my old flings that I was out of commission forever.
John Lennon
He was right in the middle of his hideous Kotex phase,
Wtf does this mean
Ringo, he’s such a regular guy.
It was a drag to see how zongoed they all got. They kept asking each other why they had to get so high to have fun.
I can’t be around him with limitations, so I guess I shan’t see him again.
announced our engagement
As with most of the latter part of this book it feels so ungrounded. You just met and you’re engaged? How? Why? Nothing sounded particularly remarkable about him
He told me they had broken up totally, and she knew all about me. I almost believed him.
Believed him enough for the farewell tour??
Let things be. I know Michael and Wendy had/have a heavy trip, and why should I interfere? They have to clear it up one way or another, and me being crazy jealous with negative energy could only have an ill effect.
He’s obviously been fibbing and deleting facts galore, but somehow this has made me love him and miss him more.
Had I gone through the endless stream of pop stars, rock stars, actors, and salesmen, drummers, dance-hall clowns, Indian chiefs, and lunatic-asylum candidates to reach this moment???
Still that old school notion of a finish line with a marriage eh?
Elvis
John Heard
