Thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️ @gilliangill1653 I’m glad you are enjoying them! 😊
Your work continually interests me. Love the detailed background about the lesser known, but still fascinating, people in this culture.
Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you find it interesting 🤔 I do too!😊 So many interesting stories
Sad story
Yes
Thank you- I never heard this story.
You’re welcome ☺️
Thanks. I think this is one of your most tragic and yet fascinating videos. Fred's last moments are touching but I also don't want to glamorize them. So many clearly loved Fred, yet it wasn't enough. We hear so many say, especially now, that things were so much better at this time, the good old days, yet you have a vibrant talent who was crushed by homophobic abuse and never able to recover. The whole segment on Alan Marlowe and Diana di Prima was bewildering, especially him going from being a bottom to marrying her and their conceiving a child. That happens, of course, and some of her writings paint him as having a straight man's, homophobic perspective (freezing Fred out of the Poet's Theatre). I read a page on him and on the relationship between him and di Prima and was left even more confused. I notice her Wikipedia entry does not mention him at all, which maybe tells us how she viewed their time together. (they divorced in 1969, apparently)
Thanks 🙏 @kengeorgejones6855 I agree with what you are saying. There is a lot more to unpack with regard’s to the relationship between Hurko, do Prima, and Marlowe. Also the politics at the Poets theatre and di prima had enough of a relationship with Warhol, that he ended up filming a scene with both di Prima and Marlowe, albeit a brief one. di Prima is actually a very interesting person in her own right. I have many questions about her as well.
I was not very familiar with Fred’s story so really enjoyed this. Thanks!
You are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Always a pleasure to see you upload! Have a wonderful day! 🩵
Thank you 🙏 @JenDoe1 You have a wonderful day too 🤗
Very interesting and sad story. I loved hearing this, I was unfamiliar with him. Great job!!!
Thank you @MsRyland511 🙏🥰 I appreciate that
@@RetroRoomYT I wanted to show love, is there anywhere i can message you?

@@RetroRoomYT I emailed you...not sure if you got it.
@@MsRyland511 hey, I got your email, just sent you a reply 😊
I wonder if his leg wound was from tranq- fent & xylazine- its been happening to people in Kensington
Have you seen the movie Chelsea s walls? It's a movie about the hotel. It's not bad
No, does it stream somewhere or did you find a physical copy?
@@RetroRoomYT dang, youtube deleted my comment about streaming sites. Maybe it's on Netflix?
@@gerchop9304 I’ll take a look for it. Thanks 🙏
it's available on Prime
Sad story, well told. I'm a lil confused by the image repetitions of intersection signage, construction site, Wilshire Bldg, etc. What's the deal?
Thanks, Marsh. It’s just “B roll”
Herko is not a common last name, I wonder if we are related 🤔
That would be exciting!
I’m gonna be the 3rd one
