todays generation is missing out on a very wonderful icon,
Rod McKuen. kinda a 60/70's beat generation chronicler
thru his poems and songs. to get a feel for the times,
listen to the songs. in the 70's/80's they were often song
by popular performers and gave a taste of that era.
songs/poems of feeling and emotions, observations and reflections. i met Rod a few years ago, and living in
LA/BH where we run into 'celebs' or celebs in their
own minds at the 7-11's and car washes, there are only a few high profile folks who
pulse me... Rod is one, and last week, i got to take him to the ELLEN show to meet
another icon. wow, two powerful folks who are weaving their legacy, impacting our lives whether we realize it at times or not. powerful stuff. check out Rod's website at http://www.mckuen.com/index.htm. if you do not recognize the name, ask yer
mom, dad, aunt... they will, and you will in time.
