Gene Clark – Los Angeles, by Pat Thomas

While others make the pilgrimage to genuflect inside Room #8 at Joshua Tree Inn for Gram – you’ll find me in Tipton, sitting under a headstone inscribed “Harold Eugene Clark – No Other.” Today is Gene Clark’s birthday and nobody ever captured the LA experience as poignantly as he did with this.

Pat Thomas is the author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975.
