DENNIS STOCK 1928-2010
We were sorry to hear that Dennis Stock passed away. He took many of the iconic photographs of James Dean, originally for a LIFE MAGAZINE story. 
His most famous photograph.
His photographs made up much of the Robert Altman film THE JAMES DEAN STORY
James with his cousin Marcus Winslow
Marcus showed Josh and I many of the photographs that were on display for a museum event. We talked about Dennis Stock. Marcus was so happy that Stock preserved so much of his cousin's short life in photographs.
James Dean's last visit home to Fairmount, Indiana. Stock said, "I liked him sometimes, but not all of the time...But he was like family after awhile. We really bonded in Indiana. Not in New York, where he was distracted a lot. He was an insomniac and didn't get a lot of sleep and was a pain." I wrote the song "James Byron Dean" for RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS with these photographs in mind.

My NEW ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY MOUSE DVD set came today! Looking forward to checking this out! I am glad they included three original Terrytoon MIGHTY MOUSE cartoons as well! I see there are interviews with my friends Andrew Stanton (PIXAR) and Bruce Timm (BATMAN Adventures) and I have always been a big fan of John K.'s art.posted by Thomas Frederick
ROGER MARIS' 61 Home Runs in a single season is still the record!
I never changed my baseball record books! Something has smelled rotten in baseball for a very long time and it is all airing out these days. Maris' record was an amazing feat that has not been matched and may never be...posted by Thomas Frederick
