[While in Morocco]
Michael J. Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all
day, talking about
Bob Dylan and
The Band, thinking up ridiculous plots
for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book "The Low
Spark of High Heeled Boys". For me, it summed him up. He had this
tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his
leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to
sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The "Low
Spark", for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a
street corner. The low rider. The "Low Spark" meaning that strong
undercurrent at the street level.
