Heroes & Friends
JEFF CLOVES - Neal Cassady and the Romance Kid
Jeff comments:
I made the poster-poem
on a whim and advertised
it in the small adds of Private Eye
it sold out more or less
my original drawing hangs
over my computer desk
it's not dated
late 70s maybe
can't remember
the title came about
because in that iconic photo
Cassady looks amazingly
like young Paul Newman
the pic/poem
has appeared in one or two
underground mags
and most notably on
the front page of
Dave Cunliffe's
Global Tapestry Journal
which never ever veered
from its commitment
to late 50s/60s counter-culture
