"Gram and I would play around a lot upstairs in the living area, and he would play with Mick Taylor a lot up there… Gram was a little shy...he would distance himself from us when we were working."

In 1890, a janitor dreamed what a utopia the future must be. Using an invention from his employer, the janitor travelled into the future to the year 1962. 1962 was hardly the utopia Woodrow Mulligan imagined. Finding the future loud, dirty, and dangerous, Mulligan gladly returned to 1890 and took a scientist named Rollo back with him. Rollo had dreamed of living in the simpler times but once he went back to the 1890’s he gets bored and missed his modern convinces. ("Once Upon a Time", The Twilight Zone, TV)
That was the year everyone, all the rock stars, were wearing satin pants which looked like cloisonné colors from China. James and Hunter wore translucent India cotton shirts, the kind with embroidery and mirror sequins and all the girls wanted to lick the salt off their unbuttoned fronts. When they came into the Whiskey, they changed everything and again a moment made time valuable like a newly cut diamond.
The Whiskey hushed at the sight of the two of them and no one dared claim past friendship with James, not in this company.
I saw a kind of formal strangeness in the way Jack Hunter treated James and the way James behaved back. It was as though death could be tomorrow morning and it certainly, when Jack lit his friend's cigarette, made a small flame of jealousy go up. Who among us, after all, treats their friends so well? And why don't they?
That kind of party, though, is too foolish to go on.
They diminished each other like Picasso and Stravinsky sharing an apartment.
They looked beautiful, but you couldn't look too long.
You could see that Hunter had chosen a true diversion. I wondered what they had for lunch and if they were lovers and what Sin was and other questions that hadn't come up in that stock summer from which nothing dazzled.
— Eve Babitz describing Gram Parsons [James] and Keith Richards [Hunter] in Eve’s Hollywood, 1974
