Before 'Toilet Gator'...... Before "A Coupla of White Faggots, Sitting Around Talking".....Taylor Mead demonstrated that 'There Is No Such Thing As Gravity', as free-associates, with friends, in the Cinema Verite Style of the New York Underground.......Richard Lester was but one of others who utilized the b/w madcap style of "Hard Day's Night"......Robert Downey Sr. did this in, among his other work, BABO 73 (1974), with Tom Gaines, Taylor Mead and Jim Antonio......three of the first 'Beatiks' that I met in NYC, on my "Senior Class Trip".......after which, I felt a bit freed of the handcuffing, wrist-twisting, hand's behind the back repression of my previous Life in North Alabama.......
