All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Doc at the Radar Station. I don't believe Don ever made any money. That used to be the definition of a true artist.
ReplyDeleteYou tube has some great footage of the original Magic Band playing on the beach in France in the mid Sixties.
Yeah, I love that footage too.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I don't think he made any money on his music.
I think Don did make a lot of money, the last 10-15 years of his life, selling his paintings. I could be wrong.

ReplyDeleteIf that is representative of his work I've no doubt he didn't hurt for buyers.
Unfortunately (or otherwise) I lost track of his career after he hung up his microphone.
