One of the original members of the group LOVE has reformed this group and is performing songs from ‘Forever Changes’.
Above is a photograph taken outside the Glen’s church in Topanga Canyon. I have just got married to Mary Ann Tharaldsen, the ex-wife of Thomas Pynchon. Bryan Maclean was my best friend at University High School. We are singing Amazing grace. Bryan and I have given up alcohol and drugs when this picture was taken. This is my first attempt at sobriety. I have twenty four years of being clean and sober. I trust John has taken good care of himself in order to be the oldest revival group member, now that Paul Revere is dead.
Bryan was the lead guitarist for the rock group Love that had a powerful influence on Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison who was a good friend of my friend, Michael Harkins who was asked to contribute to Oliver Stone’s movie. Thier first album that came out in 1965, was a stepping stone. Bryan had taught me how to play the guitar, and turned me on to marijuana atop a high and windy hill in L.A. We were the artists in residence at Uni High. Bryan drew sexy surfer girls that were the forerunner of the Rosamond Women my late sister would become famous for. Christine Rosamond, and Bryan Maclean, were lovers. Christine’s funeral fell on her first sober birthday. She died clean and sober and was just beginning to turn her life around.
The vision I had for ‘Love Dance’ that I ran past Jeff Pasternak, and my Rebel Muse, is coming true. Love has AWOKEN!
