Many of the usual suspects show forth and are treated with
Robbie camaraderie — although Robertson's sweet-talk
doesn't move an inch with Hells Angel Sweet William
(Bill Fritsch) and lover of poet Lenore Kandel and a
somewhat troubadour of two wheels himself, who isn't
taking kindly learning that his poem has been withdrawn
from a tribute reading during the concert film "The Last Waltz,"
whereas both fellow San Fransisco laureates
Lawrence Ferlinghetti & Michael McClure
remain on board. If you are interested,
you can dig up on-line the full reading
by Sweet William, and later in Robertson's book
find out just why Fritsch is dragging his leg across
the stage to the microphone. For more of Sweet
William, see the Maysles brothers film "Gimme
Shelter" where the Angel, once again,
captivates the stage.
