John Julius Norwich.....in Venice. The real Anastasia R. Colin Wilson, Wilhelm Reich, Robert Anton Wilson, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, and Jacques Yonnet. Andre Malraux, Picasso, Warhol. Wish I could have known Frank Zappa, G. Casanova. Dr. Leary. I'd love to meet Anthony Bourdain, Karla Homolka and Camille Paglia, both Verlaines and Dr. Crippen, the real Jack the Ripper, the real Zodiac (Leigh?), Elizabeth Short. Unfortunately, most of the people I'd like to meet are dead already, some of them for hundreds of years. I would like to meet Van Morrison, and Keith Richards -- thank God he's still kicking. I'd like to meet Patti Smith, all of the Pretty Things, Lou Reed. And oh yeah, I really want to meet Nico Claux, who has replaced Alexander Mars, Male Diva, as my latest obsession.
