The other night I had a dream that I requested an interview with Timothy for my book that I'm writing. It's a fictional story that takes place from 1970-75. Kind of a rock n' roll murder type of story. My research on the 70's bands led me here to this website. Anyway, Timothy says I can interview him & invites me to come out to his home studio in LA. I get on a plane & fly out there & he sent a car for me at the airport. (OMG) I get to his home & there he is to greet me. He's wearing jeans & a purple T shirt. Nobody else is there, just us.
I tell him about the story & my questions involve what things were like at the concerts back then, the venues, how the touring affected the personal relationships of the band & things like that. I wasn't looking for any names or anything,, because the story is not a tell-all or anything, however some of the characters are "loosely" based on people or a combination of people.
I had decided a few weeks ago to write a character loosely based on Timothy into the book. He starts telling me about some stuff & we end up watching some videos of him with Poco, while he says he hadn't seen any of this stuff in years! He's telling me some good stories about some times in NYC, which is where the story takes place & he's having a lot of fun remembering this time.
He has a lunch set up for us on an outside deck, with some wine & I don't remember the food, but we were eating & suddenly someone appears at his door, & wow, it's Graham Nash, standing there. He just popped by. So they go inside & start working on some song they are writing together. I'm just like sitting there with my mouth hanging open.( I pray that I'm not drooling.) Then Graham leaves & we continue the interview out at the pool.
By this time, I'm thinking, how did I ever get this lucky? Suddenly Timothy dives into the pool, & I don't see where he is. He disappears for a few minutes so I'm like in a panic & he appears with a scuba mask on & is laughing. Then I suddenly wake up........
