Comments: I grew up in the flatlands, and was the case with the majority of the
poor kids, didn't have the luxury of cable tv or legos to keep my mind limber.
We played in the red dirt and watched for signs in creekbeds that might tell us
there was a better life to come.
It was always rumored that Sam rode the polo ponies West of Norman, Oklahoma
and that he frequented "Denco's," a now-defunct local eatery.
Although I didn't come to terms with the fact that I couldn't be anything but
an actor until a few years ago, I had read most of his early works by the age
of 15,
and got into all kinds of trouble for ditching school trying to track him down
at Denco's when there was a "Sam Sighting."
He's the only playwright I've found that can capture the dread and emptiness
and overall magic (in its truest sense) of the West, and should be commended
for that.
I don't want to try to make this little comment into a swan song about Sam (or
about myself, for that matter), but other than the Rolling Stones, he's been
the greatest inspiration I have ever known to get out there and "do it."
I'm now a half-fleged actor living in NY, writing a bit here and there in an
attempt to kick at the stalls of mainstream theatre and give what I can to show
folks the other half of the world.
So give him my regards, if you will, and my thanks for making the tracks in the
road a bit easier to follow.
Vaya con Angeles,

Comments: like the pages; graduated on subject Shepard; currently reading True
West with a class and hopelessly lost in the attempt to hire the movie.
If you have any hints please let me know. I think the plays are perfectly
suitable for Dutch secondary school pupils to read
