There's a John Cage story where Cage and Morton Feldman are driving home from someplace and Feldman's snoozing in the back seat and he wakes up and says, "Now that it's all so easy, there's so much to do." Maybe they in the Ford Rauschenberg inked for that scroll he did. That scroll maybe my favorite Rauschenberg mainly cos I find it so interesting wondering what Merce was doing while John and Bob out fingerprinting the Ford and writing the Sad History of Twentieth Century America. Making brunch I figure, but maybe Merce don't cook. I don't know. Can you imagine growing up "Rauschenberg" a dyslexic poor boy in East Texas?
One time, much later, in the Fifties, maybe for Collier's, Sheriff Haney Scott will be interviewed and will say, regarding Koo Kowlick, "he weren't nothing nothing but a powdernose cowboy pimp and famous like most bad guys for his dying." The night following the interview Sheriff Haney Scott's gonna have a bad dream and he's gonna wake up crying.
