“ It was the summer Coltrane died. The summer of ‘Crystal Ship.’ Flower children were raising their empty arms and China was detonating the H-bomb. In Monterey, Jimi Hendrix was setting his guitar on fire. ‘Ode to Billie Joe’ was playing over and over again on the airwaves. Riots were breaking out in Newark, Milwaukee and Detroit. It was the summer of Elvira Madigan, the summer of love. And in that volatile, inhospitable atmosphere, a chance encounter changed the course of my life.It was the summer I met Robert Mapplethorpe. ”
