I saw him a few months ago, and it was obvious that he would not be recovering from whatever he had. So even though I knew it was coming, it's still saddening.

awww ... goddamn ....

one of the Voices of my G-G-G-Generation ...


my favorite story about him was when he was with Kristofferson down in Brazil
and got the news that Janis Joplin had taken "Me & Bobby McGee" to #1 ...
Hopper had gotten them some kind of psychedelic brew from an Indian,
Kris had just turned 33, and Hopper kept talking about "The Age of Christ" ....



on the lighter side, between this and Gary Coleman, I guess James C. Harwood's
long-overdue expiration will slip under the National Media's radar ...

I'm plowing my way through some PBR in his memory.

You know, they say they always go in threes.

PBR (and one of the good David Lynch movies)

One of my favorite Dennis Hopper performances was Feck in River's Edge. I tried to find a video but I guess it wasn't very popular. Check it out if y'all get the chance.
