James Dean

...a birthday tribute

James Dean

 

“…along came a spyder and picked up a rider

and took him down the road to eternity.”

 

 

James Dean

what a dream...

white tee shirt

faded jeans.

An angry young man

excess extreme,

living life upon the screen...

without a cause

a rebel, it seems…

James Dean

He is lovely
and this poem is pretty sweet

He had the mythical 'X' factor in spades Kelly. His films never get old - he and them are forever young.
Super homage Kelly.

Short lived King of the screen of the 50th's

If you ever get the chance, look up the history on the car, after the accident. It certainly is eerie!

[Philip Muls]

The one who forever holds the monopoly on dying young.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I always loved the old James Dean movies, when cool was actually cool and not the lame a*s millennium version of fakeness that it is today. I remember really identifying with him as the put upon son whose family didn't understand him. Trouble was, he was the rebel without a cuse, I was just the rebel without a clue. :)
Beautiful tribute Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You overwhelmingly perceived what was put into it. Thank you, Lorry!
