I wish this was better quality – awesome find, from a 1980 calendar – probably MANDATE HONCHO – I think the scanning was fine, but the printed image is a bit out of focus?
I’ve been meaning to link to this article for months, if not longer; alas, stuck in the drafts folder no more!
A personal account of meeting Richard Locke in the 1990’s at something called The Billy Gathering, and several times since, until 1996 when Richard passed. I love this early line in the beautifully written acount –
“I certainly wasn’t sure whether I actually wanted to meet him or just look at him, preferably from a distance.”
– I imagine I would’ve felt a similar awe-respect if I had been lucky enough to have seen Richard in person. Click the link, you even get a few more pics, as well.
Have I ever made a “tag” for “El Paso Wrecking Corp.”?
probably not a bad idea, but exhausting! and this teaser pic, where I haven’t included the actual cover pic, or inside pic, of Mr. Halsted? An experiment, as I keep forgetting that the wordpress program automatically resizes images, so I can leave larger file sizes for folks to right click on and view, or save, bigger. Or if on your phone or tablet, you can do that 2 finger thing. No, not THAT 2 finger thing! dirty minds!
Actually, I really liked looking at Richard Locke and Clay Russell – and seeing how much taller Richard is! Is the text saying the 3rd man (with clothes on) is Same Gage?
