Interview with Dickie
DICKIE PETERSON 1948-2009 R.I.P.
My name is Ken davidoff, in 1968 I
had the good fortune to photograph Blue Cheer at the Miami Pop
Festival.
I am currently working with Jack Connell, the producer of
the documentary about Miami Pop. We had the privilage
of interviewing Dickie Peterson on August 18 2009, and we would
like to share this quote with you.
"There is a thing that has happened in
music over the years that says, if you like rap music,
and I like heavy metal music, we can't be friends, and
to me, this is the exact opposite of what
music is supposed to do. Music is supposed to bring us
together, you know, you don't have to like
the kind of music I like, to like music. You don't need my
approval, you know, you need your own.
Don't try to be cool, it's the most un-cool thing
you can do. Cool is cool, when you try to be cool,
you ain't cool." - Dickie
Peterson.
"After talking with Dickie during our interview I felt like
I had had a conversation with a
very wise old friend. Dickie was very
much alive, he never quit, he just moved on"
- Jack
Connell
