Thanks Simon. And, like you, Meltzer was a skillful interviewer getting to the core of the artists' germinating vision and practices .His "San Francisco Beat:Talking With The Poets" is an invaluable document in bringing the San Francisco Renaissance to a wider audience...And TDRR is certainly the best capsule introduction to Meltzer because it includes not only tales of his youthful glory days, but also the insightful, and necessarily critical analyses of his later years ,as he saw how what he loved and learned became ,in too many cases, degraded and misunderstood.
