It's not nice to beat a dead horse.

I went to a gallery showing of his a few years ago, interesting evening to say the least. There were about 30 of his pieces ranging from $3,500 to $65,000 most sold within the first hour of the exhibit. I finally got to speak to Peter Max, not at all what I was expecting but he was rather rude & walked away from me during our very brief conversation. I've been wanting to meet him for 30 years but what a letdown. Over-inflated artistic egos, go figure.

A few years back a man I know saw Arnold Palmer at an airport - He introduced himself and explained to "Arnie" that they were about the same age and grew up about an hour away in PA. "Arnie" said who gives a F%&# and walked off

New or current topics must be scarce.
