Always one drug ahead
and in the portrayal of Lost Angels
He showed the dark side of the 60s
survived artistically and cinematically
until,in our time,at 74-gone.
Always we see him as young
Rebel on the range with attitude
BLUE VELVET menace,EASY RIDER style
misogynist,artist,party animal(he inhaled!
legend in Hollywood among gossip columnists
"Living life to the lees!"-now he leaves(involuntarily
Like Hunter S Thompson,part legend,part lame
he brought authenticity to his acting fame
directing and writing scripts he acted in
working with the best and blessed in Lotus Land
He stamped his style upon so many mediocre films
We may never see on screen his like again
This is to thank him for those adolescent visions
that sustain us all through APOCALYPSE NOW!(redux version)
When life and art are one-our time here is done...
I am not sure if they screen Dennis Hopper films in Heaven...
(he never made a PG version....
