Ahhhh, I met Mr. Albee opening night of THE GOAT, which won him another Pulitzer Prize. My friend John Arnone designed the set. Another friend, Marian Seldes was "renaissanced" with THE PLAY ABOUT THE BABY and THREE TALL WOMEN. decades after being in the original production of A DELICATE BALANCE. I believe the chances of them meeting are quite good. Albee paid exacting attention to his times and if it takes a village, he and Kerouac were in Greenwich (Mean Time) simultaneously. One cake, two candles in Gratitude!
Victor, youβve known everybody! Love it. Thank you for sharing your chance encounters and friendships. Also, I think, given their proximity to Alan Ginsberg, they likely did know each other. One cake, two candles indeed!
I recall a one-act play by Albee which was either named or used the term "the disunited mistakes of America." Uncomfortable truths. We are a loose association of tangentially related communities, as a nation. Nearing the 250th year, historically the maximum lifetime for political arrangements. Gotta keep smiling and carry on. Or grimacing, if you can't quite manage a smile. I call to mind a semi-famous commentor on world affairs (Charles Hugh-Smith) who says something really scary and then sorta chuckles. It's not a response to something funny, it's his version of carrying on in the face of the stuff he sees. Love the two men you used as examples. So many people inspired by them. Plus, not bad looking, and either gay or gay-adjacent.
Great points, Clarke. Thereβs not a helluva lot to celebrate right now. Or maybe itβs so many of us donβt feeling like celebrating. The world is a zucking mess, so Iβm doing my best to muster the strength to party on like itβs your birthdayβ¦ainβt it your bday soon? Or am I just having another memory lapse? :-p
Funny indeed. I'm gonna wait another 10 months or so for my next birthday, just as an unnecessary point of information. But in another sense, it's tomorrow!

Either way, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! :-p
