I stumbled across this great video about the incredible Jim Haynes and hoped all the folks involved in the making of it won’t mind my running this link on my Gargoyle Magazine site. Jim was a real force of nature and charming as you will see here. We traded books and magazines over the years. (Loved his Handshake Editions.) Jim, along with Michael Horovitz and Jay Landesman in London, plus Eddie Woods and Baltimore’s own William Levy in Amsterdam, were everything I aspired to be. They were live wires in the 60’s Lit/Music/Protest scenes in London, Paris, and Amsterdam. They knew everybody.
