Lots of stuff has my name on it: a recipe for some superb chili, clipped
from a newspaper in Binghamton, New York, and that I donated as part of
a virtual wedding present. Comments written to a lists called Opera-L,
Psychoanalytic Studies, I'm even part of an erotica website and I don't
even write erotica (often). There is also, rather funny this...a
picture from a grouping called "A Small Circle of Friends" taken by one
Robert Altman (not the film director), who is now a Deal on the West
Coast. I went to college with him. I don't remember him with the
camera back in the sixties, but there are the pictures, so I guess he
made friends with Nippon Kogaku early on. Sometimes I have looked at
them and felt my eyes welling up: not all those people are still around.
But...one day, I guess 1998...my younger son called me up. "Dad, do you
know a guy named Alan Binstock? Hank Berman? Jerry Bayer?" I asked him
"How the hell did you know that?" He told me about surfing around and
finding this picture of guys with those names plus his father-to-be
circa 1967 "whacked on psychedelics at a Central Park Be-In." I might
lie, but photographs don't. I wrote to Altman, the photographer, along
the lines of "F--- you, Robert [we had been in contact], you showed me
up in front of my kid!" It was meant and taken in good humor. I even
had it on my infamous website for awhile.
