She died on my 13th birthday--October 4, 1970. I remember waking up and hearing that on the news--and it was just a few weeks since Jimi Hendrix had died too. And then Jim Morrison died about eight months later (on the second anniversary of Brian Jones's death). I don't miss some of the old days!

I remember El Quijote in the Hotel Chelsea.
