Before The Fall
I got and read a copy of John Gilmore’s L.A. Despair: A Landscape of Crimes & Bad Times in the course of trying to learn more about the tragic story of actress Barbara Payton, one of whose characters is prominent in a post over at my other blog home. I was a little surprised when I found the first plate was one of porn actor John Holmes, in a scene of almost primal innocence. It’s a striking image — I’m sorry I don’t know the name of the actress.
After innocence, the fall. It’s well known that the lives of porn actors sometimes do not end well.
Also the lives of bus drivers, tax accountants, and housewives. Remember that.

As the poets have mournfully sung,
Death takes the innocent young,
The rolling-in-money,
The screamingly-funny,
And those who are very well hung.
he had a pretty sad ending. the clowns in some of the bars over at the marina would pay him to pull out his dick,”I saw the wad’s cock.” and then give him a snort of coke and send him on his way.
the rent is so high in the area, you have to live in a run down crappy apartment building with the gangs, or live at home with your parents like Ron Jeremy does.
