The staff at Shakespeare and Company are pleasant and professional. Every time I have been there they have been very patient with my stuttering French.
cutting hair with fire is old school, they used to think hair is hollow with fluid so if you cut it the fluid will leak out if you burn it with fire the points will be closed and the fluid stays in. Love to watch it me as a hairdresser, nice man to. R.I.P.
“Among the visions which my fancies trace There was one brighter star, one face One image from afar filled with seraphic grace Each poem is her heart’s fantasy Each flower a tree Is framed within her memory Each dream, each midnight and each dawn Are garments, thoughts of her put on Each beam of light from the empyrean blue With her enfolds the Good, the Beautiful, the True”
cont. Writers such as Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Paul Bowles, Bertolt Brecht, Arthur Miller, Graham Greene, William Styron, Ray Bradbury, Howard Zinn, Lawrence Durrell, Jacques Prévert, Louis Aragon, François Truffaut, Philippe Sollers, Peter Mattiesson, Barbara Tuchman, Howard Zinn, Richard Wright, cont.
cont. James Baldwin, Langston Hughes and the Beat Generation icons William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti managed to survive the ordeal. I would suggest that if you don't want to deal with him--don't go there. At his age, I'm sure he has no time for bourgeois whiners.
I want to become famous within the literary/artistic community - so that next time I set my hair on fire, or do something equally non-conformist - I won't get carted off to the psyche ward;)
Anyone who has spent any time around George knows what a vicious tyrant he is, bossing people around and screaming like a spoiled child. If you don't believe me just go there and hang out. He is horrible.
George remains in my memory as one of the most generous and amazing men on this Earth. His bark was certainly worse than his bite, and although there were occasional tantrums, they were never taken seriously by the "itinerant residents (me included, during the late 70s)). An experience I shall cherish for as long as I live. RIP George Adieu.
great documentary , great man

George is wonderful.
Man cuts his hair like a boss.
“Among the visions which my fancies trace
There was one brighter star, one face
One image from afar filled with seraphic grace
Each poem is her heart’s fantasy
Each flower a tree
Is framed within her memory
Each dream, each midnight and each dawn
Are garments, thoughts of her put on
Each beam of light from the empyrean blue
With her enfolds the Good, the Beautiful, the True”
That's crazy...But gud job:-D
