Sam Shepard


H.I.'s number one fancy man and figure of lustful fantasy has died, the same age as her.

If only he had not had a fear of flying, and if only he had been staying in his favourite hotel - The Chelsea - at the same time as we were in N.Y.C., she may have had her wicked way with him, and I would not have blamed her.

Too late now.

  2. I think that H.I. has good taste. I also thing that Lou Gehrig's Disease is a mean thief, having known other amazing folks it took away from the rest of us way too soon.

    1. Well, we all have to go sometime, but I hope I am a bit stiller than him when I do.

  3. I was so, so sad to see that he had left us. But motor neurone disease is so cruel that were I to ever suffer with it, I promise you I'd want to go sooner rather than later. And with help if possible. Poor, poor man. Talk about bloody undeserving.

  4. You are a generous man, Tom Stephenson. (Sounds as if I am an Unknown robot - but I am not.)

  5. We share the same taste in men then....I loved him in 'Frances' and of course 'The Right Stuff' where he just looked so darn cool.

    1. Very cool for someone who was scared of flying in passenger planes.

  6. He looks too weak around the jaw for much more than a one night stand.

    1. That's why I only shagged him once. I HATE weak jaws in men.

    2. That's also why me and Steven Spielberg are married.

  7. My favorite movie of his was DAYS OF HEAVEN. More recently, on a Netflix program called BLOODLINE. I read a bio of Patti Smith's, in which he was hanging out in NYC with all the future stars.

    1. Sorry - never seen/heard of those, but I am sure H.I. will make the effort on my behalf.

    2. There was a moving piece, yesterday, in the NYT newspaper by Patti Smith on her friendship with Sam Shepard.

  8. I agree with Days of Heaven. And he was my favorite, too. Sigh.
