Bud Shrake wrote a great essay called "Land of The Permanent Wave" back in the day ... I remember reading it in I think some kind of anthology many years ago He was Ann Richards (former Texas governor) boyfriend
He has a brooding, sensual, vaguely dangerous look that will arouse rape fantasies all over the world when he begins appearing in movies next year. Lol, the 70's were great. If someone wrote this now, he'd probably get sued
Writing used to be so much better. More edgy and cutting. I remember Pat Putnam describing the deposing of Mike Tyson and his replacement by Evander Holyfield as being akin to the removal of a battery of cannons and their replacement by a few mobile mortars.
