From the beginning of his life, as the son of a ne'er-do-well West Coast farmer. Pollock seems to have been a depressed soul. "This so-called happy part of one's life, youth, to me is a bit of damnable hell," he confessed at the age of 18. Throughout his later life, he fought a constant battle with drink, miserably shy when sober, painfully rambunctious when drunk...
...double standard prevailing in this, as in so many other romantic matters, makes it far less acceptable for an older woman to form an alliance with a younger man.

As a consequence of your obession with drums you are unfit for useful work. It looks like you're going to be a ne'er-do-well, so you get together with some other kids who are also ne'er-do-wells and form a rock group. At your first recording session another group asks you to be their drummer. You join them; change your name to Ringo; and escape oblivion for fame and influence...
...seulement le ruralisme de Mao, mais celui de Rousseau, de Fourier, et de Proudhon: "L'economie est blesse, qu'elle creve." "Dessous les paves c'est la plage ..." Mepris des institutions democratiques ("Referendum -- voter sa chaine et son boulet."), anarchisme ("L'emancipation de l'homme sera totale ou ne sera pas."), foi en l'action directe ("L'aboutissement de toute pensee c'est le pave" -- les multiples courants de la pensee socialiste franeaise semble se ranimer derriere les barricades du quartier latin...
