I had never seen Jackson Allen between February 27, 1902 – December 20, 1968, but he was revered for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception, after the sixties however, he was like “fuck this, let’s party!”
So recently I hit him up-
Hey Jackson, whats new?-
“Spent the day working on a surfboard rack for a friend, feeling the backs of my legs burning in the sun and listening to paul simon and the baseball game droning in the background. Got a cheap haircut, barber told me about a great lasagna recipe. Pedaled to the Live Oak American gas station by Mike’s house to catch a ride to the trails. Did some table tops, hooted and hollered.”
