RocKomix was
my 1981 Christmas gift to some of the crew. These Magic Marker
drawings were among a very few color illustrations that I made
during this period. Amy Polan Clarke thoughtfully made
Xerox® copies of all of the originals before they were
handed out. In order:
"Rock Ed 101” was for John Scher whose
madness made everything possible.
“Program Ed 101” was for Bruce Moran who
published the concert program series and is now a successful
promoter.
“Rock Justice...or is it really
Rock Truth” was given to Mo
Morrison, who was then our Senior
Production Manager.
“Rock Poetry” was for Alan DeZon, who was
Production Manager, Assistant Production Manager or Stage
Manager depending on how many gigs were going on at the moment.
He is now VP/Operations for Ticketmaster in China.
“Rock Reality” was for Frank Stedtler, who
was then our Stage Manager.
“Rock Teabag” was for Brenig Bowen, who
was our stage Electrician, Assistance Stage Lighting Director
and/or Premier Follow Spot Operator, as needed.
“Rock Innocence” can only be Lee Squires.
“Rock Sustenance” sounds like
Randy Foster, who saved our sense of humor and often our lives
while part of Cy’s hospitality crew.
“Rock Princess” was for Amy Polan Clarke,
who was then the No. 2 exec in the organization, and now
Director of Operations for On The Road Booking.
“Rock Philosophy” was for Arthur Berman, our
Stage Door Security chief and a truly unique being who stood
out as such even among a huge collection of truly unique
beings.
