Meet Jesse Jo Stark, the Seductive Star of New Rock’n’Roll

Every week, we ask one artist a set of quick-fire questions that all start with ‘the first’, from their first shows and paycheques to the first time they fell in love and got drunk. Here, LA cool-girl turned rock femme fatale Jesse Jo Stark talks making it in music, loving hard and why self-belief is still a daily struggle.

Jesse Jo Stark was destined to be rock royalty and she’s got the tour bus to prove it. I meet her on an unseasonably – even by our new global warming standards – windy day in London, where she’s parked up outside around the back of Camden Roundhouse. She’s been supporting The Vaccines on their UK tour, captivating audiences across the country with her punk-chic meets LA-infused indie sound and style. As these glorified coaches go, this one’s got some serious, badass personality. Metallic pink tassels, leopard-print cushions, mirrors on the ceiling and a rhinestone megaphone (Stark says bedazzling it herself has helped soothe her through a breakup) all contribute to the crazy cowgirl theme. Little surprise, then, that she describes her vibe as “hillbilly horror”.

As the daughter of Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark, the founders of ultra-cool rocker brand Chrome Hearts, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter has been around musicians since her earliest years. Raised on a diet of David Bowie and Fleetwood Mac, Stark boasts Cher as her godmother, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses a family friend and her first EP, Down The Drain, was produced by Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.

There’s no doubt that Stark is well-connected (Bella Hadid is her BFF), but it’s sheer talent that’s really taking her places. Stark is a seriously good songwriter and a captivating performer. She’s also bringing a much-needed female voice to the indie rock scene, like a Patti Smith or Viv Albertine for the Instagram generation (she has a very healthy 212,000 followers of her own). Here, the indie darling speaks to GQ about everything from to self-belief and stage fright to heartbreak and media misperceptions.

The first time you realised you wanted to be a musician...

"Straight from the womb, I came out singing. Honestly, I don’t think I knew what that meant, but, yeah. I wrote my first song when I was seven. It was about a boy who didn’t like me."

The first time you played in front of a live audience...

"I was, like, 17 or 18 and I’d done a million little things before, but my first real big show was when I did a collaboration with Vans. We threw a huge party at the Troubadour in LA. It was a full show and we set up the collaboration like a merch booth. That was horrifying. My band wasn’t my band now, I didn’t know how to move my body, it was so scary and there was a ton of people there."

The first time you got silly drunk...

"I remember stoned. Drunk? OK. It was Santa Margarita, bottle of wine, in my friend Lily’s car, by the beach. There was a bonfire. And I threw up a lot. I was about 13 or 14."

The first time you fell properly in love...

"Oh, my God, like, seriously, out of the womb. I have to tell you, this is really hard to talk about, but I loved this Chinese boy at my kindergarten. I have a really bad memory, but I’ll always remember we were on the swing set. I loved him. It was deep. It was passionate. I’m not kidding. My best friend, Sorcha – he liked her and he asked her to go on the swings and not me. I was traumatized. Heartbroken. I love hard."

The first record you ever bought...

"I bought a lot of CDs at one particular store in Malibu. It was probably Ricky Martin or the Spice Girls."

The first time you put together a stage outfit...

"The one that I remember is when my godmother [Cher] let me design my 'Shoop Shoop' costume – she let me perform in one of her shows. And I still have it, it’s tiny. It’s a brown vest with a ‘P’ sign, fringe and fur. Then the pants were denim with leather ‘P’ sign patches on them. I was really little, like seven. It was horrifyingly scary: I remember the whole front row staring at me."

The first time you made money out of being a musician...

"I’m not making that much money even now. I would say when I did my Vans collaboration, that really incorporated my music, that was the first thing that I did alone. I saved that money and put it towards house stuff."

The first time you won at anything...

"OK, you’re making me really go down memory lane. I just got an award last week during this British tour – it's not an actual award, but it’s like a plaque from a man who owns a venue I played at and he wrote my name and my lyrics on it. I seriously was so touched, because I never won anything, not sports or a spelling bee, nothing, so I felt like that was my moment. I want to send it to my volleyball teacher, like, ‘Look’. It says 'burning in the fire of love, alright'. He was really cute to me and I love him."

The first time you got stage fright...

"I still get it. It’s like a formula every time, I have to center. I love being around the guys - my band - I feel like the fact that they believe in me allows me to do what I’m doing. So I’m really lucky to have such a cool family. To prepare, I say a little prayer, take a really big breath and then just switch my mood. I like to be angry rather than happy when I go on stage."

The first time you threw a punch and meant it...

"I punched my ex-boyfriend – he let me, though. I punched him, like, ten times. It wasn’t a joke, but he let me."

The first time you realized your friendship circle was famous...

“I don’t think of me like that. I think Bella is famous. It’s interesting because I’ve known Bella for such a long time. She’s younger than me and we’re both from Malibu and we got close before she blew up… I’m so proud of her, she’s my number one babe. I pick her over all the babes. The only thing that’s weird is the awkward pictures of me bending over and fixing her bikini. She looks amazing. I look awful.”

The first time you read a piece of fake news about yourself...

"That I’m a drug addict, a party animal who is always out. I’m really not. I love being at home and I love my family. I mean, everybody has their moments when they go out, but I don’t think that’s cool in any way."

The first thing you'd do if you became president...

"I’d say funding. There are so many major things going on right now that are important, and I don’t know what the first thing to tackle would be because it’s so tragic seeing the suffering that’s going on, the mess we’ve made. I think they all go hand in hand. I can just say that I do think it’s time for someone to sort the crap out and it’s not going to be the president right now."

The first person you'd call if you were in real trouble...

"At the moment, I’d say my guitar player Thomas. We’re sharing the same space emotionally right now. He helps me anywhere, from styling me to making me coffee to saving me from a burning building."

Canadian Girl

Chapter Eleven

Previous Chapter

Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC | Word Count: 3096 Warnings: Fluff, Stereotyping of Canadians (I'm allowed, I am one)

Steve woke those two hours later to an empty bed and sat bolt upright.

She was gone, his shirt was laid over the end of the bed, and he was out of it in a flash. If she was running anyway, had left him after last night, he was going to find her and... and... and... he couldn’t think of anything past the fear.

Jerking on clean clothes, he paused to listen to the quiet before sliding silently out of her room and down the hall, all the while wondering how she’d gotten out of the bed without him waking up.

At the bottom of the stairs, he smelled coffee first, then the heavenly scent of cinnamon buns, a personal weakness, and headed for the bright lights of the kitchen.

Kennedy’s redheaded mother, standing at the counter, startled when she saw him. “Oh! Steven! You gave me as big a fright as Bucky did this morning. You two need to make a little noise when you move, or I'm gonna get you both a dang bell.”

The tone was mildly scolding, but her smile was friendly. The threat of a bell, however, made him chuckle. “Sorry about that, Mary.” His eyes quickly scanned the room. “Kennedy up yet?”

Her smile turned wicked. “As you spent last night in her bed, I’d imagine you know she is.”

He could feel the blush darkened his cheeks and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I…” He had no idea what to say to the mother of the woman he was sleeping with.

“Kennedy’s a grown woman, Steven. What she chooses to do and with whom is her choice, but I tell you this,” she placed the cup on the counter, and rounded the island to walk towards him, “If she ever comes home in tears over you again, Captain America, serum enhanced or not, I will hunt you down so damn fast and return her pain tenfold! You get me, Cap?”

She was nearly a foot shorter than him and a good sixty pounds lighter, but he had a moment of concern. She looked like she could pull it off in that instant.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Good.” She smiled sweetly. “Coffee?”

Damn. “Black is great. I see where Kennedy gets her spunk from as well as her looks.”

“You flatter me, Steven.” She batted her hand his way and went to get him coffee.

“Mary?”

“Yes, Steven?” She looked up at him and smiled.

“I... really love her,” he murmured.

Her smile softened. “I know you do, sweety. That’s why when Jonas asks why the rug in the study is missing and why it smells so strongly of cinnamon, I’m going to tell him a spark caught the rug, burned a nasty hole, and I had to warm the cinnamon to get rid of the smell.”

He blushed a bit harder and could tell she was biting back laughter as she handed him the travel mug.

“Kennedy’s in the paddock and Bucky’s out there with her.” She waved toward the window.

He moved so he could see out it.

Bucky was leaning against the railing and Kennedy was up on Kyle.

It made him frown. “She should be recovering.”

Mary snorted behind him.

His ears warmed with how hard he blushed.

Managing to hold in the laughter, Mary said, “She once was part of a twenty-four-hour ride. Every four hours they switched off horses. When she finished, stubborn girl that she was, she couldn’t even stand up, but the ride was something she did to raise money and awareness for multiple sclerosis. Her legs seized up on her, and she cried when I helped her into the bath, but, the next morning I looked out the window at five a.m, and she’s on Kyle’s back, taking him through his paces. There were tears in her eyes, but she loves that horse. She rides every day when she’s home. Rain, shine, or snow. Long as it’s not dangerous for him, that’s where you’ll find her.”

“She could board him at the barns in the park. She ever thought about it?” Steven wondered.

“He’d distract her or she’d feel she was neglecting him. She’s said so herself. Here he gets regular use, and she loves on him when she visits.”

Sipping from the cup, his heart much settled, he hummed appreciatively. “Wow. Good coffee.”

Chuckling, she handed him a warm cinnamon bun on a napkin. “Tim Hortons.”

“She tell you about that?” he smirked at Mary.

“She’s told me everything. I know what it’s like to live in the spotlight. A much smaller one mind you, but still a spotlight. It was easier for me to relate.” She glanced at the window. “She’s got him warmed up. You should go watch.” The timer on the stove dinged, and she turned back to it. “And Steven? Thank you.”

“For what, Mary?” he asked, shoving his feet into his boots and grabbing his jacket.

“Carl was a bastard. He fucked with Kenny something awful. She glowed this morning, and when I said she looked beautiful, she smiled. My daughter hasn’t just accepted a compliment in six and a half years.” Tears welled, but she fought them back, striding across the room instead so she could hug him. “Thank you.”

Stunned, he stood a little stiffly before closing his arms around her back. “She did make mention you were huggers.”

“Get used to it, boy. You’re ours now.” She patted his cheek. “Don’t look so surprised. Kennedy’s part of your family which means you’ve become part of ours. All of your team, even... Stark.”

There was a shadow of concern in her eyes, and Steve took and squeezed her hand. “He’s not how you think he is. And I’ll watch over Kennedy.”

She nodded as he pulled on his coat before taking coffee and sweet smelling bun out the door with him.

The cold hit him in the face, but there was no wind, and he was grateful. He didn’t care what Kennedy said. This was fudging cold.

Striding through the snow, he watched her ride with confidence around the ring, the horse seeming almost to dance beneath her when he did a quick change of feet. Her legs were encased in tight pants and knee-high boots. A different puffy coat - This one black - protected her torso. Gloves, hat, and scarf closed out the rest of the cold.

Leaning on the railing beside Bucky, he bit into the cinnamon bun, listening to the crunch of snow beneath Kyle’s feet as he smirked at his best friend’s scowl. “What?”

“We’re you trying to break some record, punk?” Bucky rolled his eyes upwards and shook his head.

“She proposed a hypothesis. I was just a willing participant in her experiment.”

Bucky stole a chunk out of his cinnamon bun. “You’re a shit. A lucky shit, but still a shit.”

“Were we really that loud?” Steve asked quietly.

Bucky shook his head. “Nah, pal. You know I’m just more sensitive to noise. Wanda may have picked up on a few wildly swinging emotions, but she ain't going to say nothing.”

Relieved, Steve turned his eyes back to Kennedy. “What’s she doing?”

Bucky shrugged. “She called it dressage.”

“He looks like he’s dancing.” Steve watched her have the horse prance in place, twirl in a strange hopping rhythm, before she sent him sideways, feet crossing like ‘X’s. With his curved neck and pricked ears, Kyle looked quite elegant.

Bringing the horse to a halt, Kennedy threw the reins up his neck and gave him double pats. “Good job.” Looking up, she smiled his way. “Awake I see.”

“I am. Why are you?”

She faltered at the tone and Bucky punched him in the shoulder. With the metal hand.

“Ow! Damn it, Bucky!”

“Ignore him, doll. He’s grumpy pre-coffee.” Bucky rolled his eyes. “I’m going to get one of Mary’s cinnamon buns.” Glaring at Steve, he muttered, “She’s a fucking treasure. Any woman who can keep up with one of us for three hours is a damn miracle. Be nice, dumbass.”

Frowning, Steve looked back at Kennedy and sighed.

She looked a little less bright, and he mentally kicked himself. The others were used to him barking orders and questions. She was not part of his team.

He couldn’t treat her like she was.

He was quick to shove the napkin in his pocket, setting the travel mug on the ground, before clearing the fence. Striding towards her, he slowed to a stop at her knee and laid his hand on it. “You have to be tender, Doc. I just don’t want you to overdo it.”

Her smile returned, and she leaned down. “I thought a different kind of riding might loosen some of my muscles.” She grinned and drew him up by his jacket to kiss him good morning.

“Damn, woman.” He growled against her lips. Pulling back, he patted Kyle’s damp shoulder. “That’s some pretty fancy footwork he was doing. Thought you were a cowgirl, doll?

“I’m that, too. Kyle was a bit clumsy as a three-year-old. The dressage helped his balance. Now he’s one of the better cutting horses on the ranch.”

“Cutting?” Steve asked.

Smirking, Kennedy backed Kyle away. “You pretty quick, Cap?” She had a weird look on her face.

“Yeah. You know I am.”

“I’m assuming you’re familiar with tag.”

“Yeah...” He really didn’t like the look on her face.

“Be a lamb, Steven, and run past me to the other end of the arena.” She turned Kyle toward him, shifting her seat. The horse’s ears pricked and he quivered gently in anticipation.

“Alright...” He started to jog, and the horse turned with him. When he stopped so did Kyle. Turning the other way, so did the horse. “I see how it is.”

“Give us your best shot, Cap!” She laughed and grabbed a handful of mane.

***

“I can’t believe you were bested by a horse!” Bucky fairly roared with laughter as Steve glared at him.

“Hey! It’s not as easy as it looks, jerk!” Steve snapped.

“I can’t believe you fell off, Kenny,” Matt snickered behind his cup of coffee.

“Wrong tack, buddy. I’d like to see you stay on a cutting horse in dressage gear.” She huffed at him and shift the ice higher up her hip. Falling off with speed onto the frozen ground on a hip which already bore a few tender bruises had not been fun.

Handing her a cup of coffee, Steve rested against the arm of her chair. “You okay there, Kennedy?” He asked quietly.

“Yeah. Not my first rodeo.” She shrugged.

“That’s for sure. You remember the time you got it in your head that you were going to be a bull rider and signed up for the mutton busting?” Matt smirked at Bucky while closing an invisible hand over Kennedy’s mouth. “The rig slipped as she came out of the chute and instead of letting go, she rode the damn sheep upside down!”

Grabbing for anything in reach, she settled on a nice heavy book, flinging it at his head. It floated down to the coffee table but broke his focus long enough that he let go of her mouth. “I was six, you moron! And if you ever do that again, I swear I will put a pinch of gunpowder in your coffee cup and set it off!”

“Doll?” Steve asked concerned.

Waving her hand at Matt, she muttered, “Dumbass closed my mouth.”

“We both know you wouldn’t do that, Kenny.” He dismissed her with a shrug.

“No, but I have no qualms about dyeing your hair while you're sleeping.” She stuck her tongue out at him.

“No, no, no! You promised not to do that again after Jessie!” Matt cried.

“What are you two hooligans yapping on about?” Jonas huffed, striding in the door to take a seat beside Matt.

“He’s a jerk!”

“She threatened to dye my hair!”

“He sealed my lips and told the mutton busting story!”

Steve took one look at Bucky, and they both burst out laughing. “I’m sorry, doll face! But this is just....” He gasped for air. “You’re so clearly related!”

A little embarrassed by how far they’d gotten out of hand, she snickered once at the ridiculousness. “Siblings.” Shaking her head, she sipped her coffee while leaned into the ice pack.

Sighing, refusing to get involved, even if he was their father, Jonas looked at the floor before the fireplace where the thick rug sat. “Hey? Does anyone know what happened to the rug in my study?”

Steve, avoiding looking at Bucky or Kennedy, quickly stood up. “Let me top that up for you, doll.” He left with her cup spilling coffee over the edge.

***

“Big family dinner tonight,” Mary said to Tony when the man walked in the kitchen. She could hear the shouting from the living room and wasn’t leaving until it calmed down. Plus she was feeding way more people than normal with much bigger appetites and needed to keep an eye on all the skillets she had cooking. “You’re welcome to stay.”

Tony shook his head. “Some of us should get back. Can’t have all of us away at the same time or the world might just go to hell.”

Pouring him a cup of coffee, Mary passed it to him across the counter. “You are welcome, Tony. We may all be a bit… stiff with you for a while but… I trust Steven to know what he’s about when he says you aren’t as we think you are.”

Sighing softly, Tony slid onto one of the barstools at the island. “Faith comes pretty naturally to you people, doesn’t it?”

“You talking the Jones’s or Canadians in general?” she chuckled softly, flipping the pancakes. “I can’t speak for all of this country, have, in fact, seen some pretty terrible things in recent years,” she shook her head sadly, “But this family likes to give people the benefit of the doubt. Take Danny for example.” Her hand shook as she reached for her cup of coffee before it clenched around the handle.

Tony eyed her carefully.

“That boy was constantly in trouble. If it wasn’t drugs, it was gambling. He always needed money and often ended up on our doorstep, coming begging the boys or Kenny or Jonas to help him out. Swear up and down it was the last time...” Sighing, she thrust her hand through her hair while wiping viciously at the tears that fell from her eyes with the other. “Guess this really was the very last time. What in the world am I going to tell Joan?”

“Nothing,” Tony got up and rounded the island to place a hand on her shoulder. “You tell her nothing. We’ll take care of it. Make it clear he got mixed up in something along the lines of his previous entanglements. They’ll never have to know what he tried to do to Kennedy.”

“You’d do that?”

Tony turned to see Steve and Jonas standing in the doorway. “Huh. She’s right, Cap. You could use a bell.”

Steve rolled his eyes, but it was Jonas who stepped forward. “I’ve been wracking my brain trying to find a way to break this news to Joan. She’s… fragile with her MS and Daniel has his hands full just keeping her healthy. It would destroy them both to find out Danny had…” he cleared his throat, “Done what he did. But we can’t just leave ‘em to think one day their son will turn up when we all know… he won’t.”

“Then it’s best if you leave this to us. We can see they get notified properly.” Tony nodded to Jonas before looking to Steve. “Fury’s on his way.”

“What? Why?” Steve asked.

“He has an offer for Jonas here,” Tony smirked a little grin before patting Mary’s shoulder. “Bunch of us are going to head back. Figured you’d want to stay till Kennedy was ready to leave, so you’re off the docket, Cap. Consider yourself on leave. You and Barnes. You both could use some downtime.”

“What about me?”

They all jolted, turning to see Natasha leaning against the wall.

“What about you?” Tony huffed. “How long you been lurking?”

“I do not lurk!” Nat scoffed, sauntering towards the coffee pot.

“She can stay,” Steve smirked. “If she wants to and it’s alright with Jonas to have a few extra hands around.”

“Could actually use the help. CFR’s on up in Edmonton. Got a few bulls and a few broncs which need transport north for the rodeo. They’re on the list of top stock this year. With Henry heading south and Jesse not wanting to get too far from May and the baby, I’m shorthanded.”

“Can’t say I know anything about livestock, but I’ll be happy to hang out with Kennedy while you put those two to work.” Nat winked at Steve and smiled brightly until both Jonas and Mary laughed.

“If you think Kennedy will be left out, you’re in for a shock. Rodeo is in her blood. Why, if she could swing it, she’d be up competing on Swiftfoot in the barrel racing.” Mary pulled open the stove, dumping the newest batch of pancakes in the warming pan she had in the oven. Glancing from it to Steven and back, she closed the door and turned to make another batch of batter.

“Then it’s settled. Nat, Steve, and Bucky will stick around for a while. The rest of us will head back to the Tower.” Tony stated before sipping from his cup and groaning. “Bring some of this back with you.” He pointed at the mug.

Jonas sidled up to his wife and kissed her cheek. “You looking to feed an army, woman?”

“They’re growing boys, Jonas, and super soldiers as well. You know they need to eat more.” She rolled her eyes at him and glanced at Steven who was shaking his head.

“Ma’am, you do realize I’m nearly twice your age,” Steve smirked a little grin.

“And yet you don’t look a day over thirty-five. Whatever is your secret?” she quipped, making him laugh.

Chuckling, Jonas kissed her cheek a second time. “Woman, you're nothing but trouble.”

“That’s why you married me,” she teased.

“Hey, do you know what happened to the rug in my study?” he asked.

Biting her lip, Mary did her best not to laugh when Steven swiftly exited the room. “You know, it was the craziest thing…”

AND THE AWARD GOES TO... My time on Hollywoods dime.

The Musicians Wanted ad in the back of The Rocket read:

Guitarist looking to join up with like minded individuals. Influences include Iggy and The Stooges, Sonic Youth, and The Cramps.

That was all I needed to see. This had to be my guy. I was looking for musicians, having just left Rancid Vat and Alcoholics Unanimous.

AT SMEGMA STUDIOS WITH RANCID VAT 1992

My own project, for the 1st time.

Actually, I had another “project band” in Tucson called Butchers 4 Piece.

I wanted to start a “Dirge” band. Pre “Grunge” The Melvins were pretty much as heavy as you could get. B4P was my need to play heavy guitar and write with my best buddy Abel. We picked on every clique in the scene with the lyrics.

Having heard the Melvins on tour in 87’, I was blown away. We were in Riverside CA with a band called Twisted.

The band I was in, Opinion Zero from Tucson, was gonna be on Alchemy Records, which is the label the Melvins 1st album was on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mascara_Snake

SO, these Twisted fellas say… “Hey, you ever heard of these dudes, The Melvins?”

“Uh…. NO. What kinda name is The MELVINS!!!”

The sound that came out was a methed out, metal riffing, band that stopped on a dime and then went into a heroin paced dirge that was heavier than Black Sabbath.

I loved it!!!

Song titles likeThe Heaviness of the Load, Big as a Mountain, Over From Under the Excrement. Man!!!

Anyway…

I was hoping to get back to doing a HEAVY band again and this ad just spoke to me. The Rocket was a Seattle-Portland Rock magazine, in newsprint form.

It was the Bible for what was happening throughout each month in Seattle and Portland. Feature articles on local musicians and all the club listings and personal ads! It was priceless, in that sweet spot we had going in the 90’s.

I get on the old land line phone and end up gettin a hold of this “Jerry” guy and we make plans for him to come over with his guitar to jam. The day comes, he shows up with his guitar, amp and a 6 pack.

We set up in the attic at 27 N. Thompson, where I was living. We make small talk and then I’m propose…

“Lets play a Cramps song!!!”

I can see this makes him a slightly uncomfortable and he shifts in his seat and says

“Which one?”

“Anyone!” I replied.

He starts to play Goo Goo Muck or Human Fly, and it’s not really all there. Already, I can see the ad was more of a description of bands he was INTO and not really his ability level or influences.

No worries…

We jam a bit more, and in my mind, I figure I’ll just keep on looking. After wrapping up our best attempts at a jam, we talk some more.

Little did I know that I would be spending more time with this guy, inside of a van, than ANY band I have EVER been in.

He starts by telling me he is from Portland (Salem actually) and had moved to L.A. for a bit and was just getting back to Portland. He played with a band called Trashcan School, a band I knew of and had read about.

JERRY LA BUCK AND HIS FIRST BORN.

I was impressed!!!

I asked what he did for work, he said he ran a security company in L.A.

He told me, mainly set security for movies.

Now, this IS “Hollywood” and his resume had titles like, oh…

Chopper Chicks From Zombietown

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103959/

Your usual B list movies, I thought, but he explained that movies worked under working titles sometimes to keep people off the scent. You couldn’t say “Yeah, we are filming Rocky 8 but keep it under your lid!” Although that would have been good….

So this all sounded pretty interesting to my ear.

Myself, I had done security before and had actually recently been fired from my job of 3 years. It was my first job in Portland and it’s where I learned Screen Printing.

My profession, basically.

It was at Goldsmiths in Old Town on 5th and Burnside.

https://goldsmithcompany.com/our-story/

Anyway, I got fired from there. Can you believe it?

ON a side note…

One day I got a call right after this, and it was the daughter of one of the older Vietnamese women that I worked with. She was old school and spoke no english.

Mooey!!!

That’s was her name….

I loved all 4’5” of her. Such a lovely woman.

So her daughter called the house one day and it sounds like someone on tour or something.

A foreign voice and kind of broken up, and we are speaking over each other…

I can’t really think of who I know on tour in Japan.

It’s Mooey, having her daughter translate to me that she misses me at work and can’t believe they fired me. She said she loved me and I was a good guy.

Man, I will never forget that phone call EVER. I tried real hard to learn what I could while I worked with that crew of Vietnamese. What I learned was, that you can come to America after being lost on the ocean for 3 weeks on a raft, and end up owning 3 homes and a small market. That’s just one of the many incredible things I learned.

Inspiring/Respect

Back to Jerry….

He said he wanted to do something similar up here with the movies and security thing.

He had a few connections with location managers, but what he really needed was security team.

He had been doing most of all this work by himself. A lot of this was just sitting in a car and watching a trailer or some prop on set. But still, that could be hard work. And he needed help. So, I threw my hat in the ring and said let me know if you end up getting a movie.

Right away, he had a gig.

And it was big.

I wanna say, a 3 month shoot?

Almost all of it being shot in Portland.

Timothy Hutton, Faye Dunaway, and Murdock from the A-Team were the main actors he said.

I had no car at the time and Jerry had a 65 Dodge Dart we called the Clam.

The trunk didn’t latch and had been connected with bungee cords. Every single bump in the road, that thing would start bouncing up and down. It looked like it was talking to you.

Man, we had barricades and cones and all sorts of stuff in that car.

We had to block off parking spots and various roads at certain hours for shoots.

(To annoy a Portland that WAS NOT Hollywood friendly)- Pre Portlandia.

“Go back to California!!!” was the most common one you were guaranteed to hear.

We had half of Downtown ready to kill us one afternoon. The shot never even made the final cut.

Another incident we had all lanes of the Marquam Bridge blocked on a Friday morning, at rush hour, just to get a helicopter shot. 4 TIMES AROUND!!!! There was one guy who followed us to the off ramp, down to Old Spaghetti Factory.

Pretty scary!!!

I mean SCARY, like when we had to move all the big wigs out of their personal apartments.

We found dildos, handcuffs and all sorts of stuff. All the crap they were definitely not taking home.

There were many things I can recall from those long days on my feet, but I’ll just throw a couple at you.

Towards the end of the shoot one day, Timothy Hutton had a tape he wanted the Make Up guys to play.

It was a tape of prank phone calls.

The Jerky Boys.

First time most people had heard that stuff at that point.

Speaking of Make Up, I witnessed nothing short of miracles come out of those Make Up trailers.

The magic they can do with the human face.

Speaking of magic and faces…

I ended up gettin some face time with Faye Dunaway.

I had my Barfly book, by Bukowski, with me and had an angle to get it signed by the time she was done.

On the last day, it was the day to do it.

I asked her P.A. and she shut me down.

NO WAY.

Well, this WAS her last day and Faye seemed in a really good mood.

As she was leaving, Some people were getting autographs. I wasn’t too much concerned how we looked as a security team, as I was a fan and wanted MY book signed.

I put it in the mix of outreached hand and she looked at it with a surprised expression.

She said she had not seen this. NICE…

I had the page marked and she thumbed her way towards it, stopping to remark on certain pictures and relate little stories. Everyone was enraptured and I was the hero.

Man, was her P.A. fuming by this time.

Faye signed it and handed it back to me with that smile.

NO WIRE HANGERS!!!

I shrunk off a little awkward but victorious.

I ended up working one last movie with Jerry and Buckeye Security.

This one was awesome.

It was… Even Cowgirls Get The Blues.

From Wiki:

According to film critic/historian Leonard Maltin, "The novel was hopelessly dated, and there is not enough peyote in the entire American Southwest to render this movie comprehensible or endurable...K.D. Lang's score is the picture's sole worthy component.”

Directed by Gus Van Sant.

A legend in Portland.

Whole slew of stars in this one. Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover et al.

Totally different vibe on this movie.

With Gus, you had a more laid back, punk rock, “we are all in this together” feel.

Most actors made themselves available to chat up and get to know.

This set was SO laid back, I remember Gus had some Nitrous Oxide delivered to the Camera Truck for the purpose of “cleaning lenses” he said.

Well, as soon as they gave a brief rundown of the how’s and what not’s, we all made a B line to get a hit from the tit.

It was pretty sweet.

It ended up at his house later that night, I heard, for his NO on 9 benefit party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Oregon_Ballot_Measure_9

The wrap party itself was pretty cool, because Tom Robbins the author of Cowgirls showed up to the tiny little bar they had rented.

The premier that afternoon, was a trip as well. It was the first showing ever and in the opening credits he had JUST ADDED a dedication to River Phoenix.

River was in Gus’s “Private Idaho” and was also in Cowgirls.

Pretty sad day.

There were a lot of actors in this film that made cameos and also just NW legend types.

We had hired a kid to help us on security and he told us he was the son of Ken Babbs.

His name was Simon Babbs, and he was a total sweetheart.

His father was joined at the hip with Ken Kesey and these cats were the real deal when it came to being there on the edge of counter culture.

They practiced what they preached, and also I wanted some of the sacred sacrament.

This was the guy who turned the nation on as far as I’m concerned and punks is hippies.

Well… I put my request in via the son of the gun who road shotgun with Kesey.

It came through. Nice stuff.

Years later, I would end up on the Further Bus with Ken Kesey’s son, buying sheets of acid art (non electrified!), but that’s another story.

ON BOARD FURTHR2 WITH ZANE KESEY

We also had a dude on our crew that was training to be a fire fighter.

He and his lady had recently split and he was moping around, being a sad sack.

This really got to him and his good friend could really notice his mood changes etc.

He actually felt sorry for this hard working kid and saw his determination to be a fire fighter, to train all day and then come and do this stupid job.

So this friend put pen to paper.

He told Aaron’s girl that she was really missing out on a good guy and that if she maybe just gave it another shot, who knows?!?!

I watched this whole thing go down. I then watched him give Aaron the note, to give to his uncertain lover.

And that “friend” of his was none other than Keanu Reeves.

That guy was so down to earth and a genuine, righteous dude.

I don’t know if this whole thing worked for the girl or not, but I sure know it worked for me.

It was one of the coolest things I’ve seen.

Really…. From Bill and Ted to Rivers Edge, that guy may come off like a “HImbo”, but I saw just the opposite. Totally aware and compassionate person.

I would like to thank Jerry for letting me make mad money while getting to zip up Sean Young’s dress when she couldn’t reach it.

For being able to help Crispin Glover get in character.

He had asked me for a cigarette and I told him “I don’t smoke! I don’t have any cigarettes.”

He said “Neither do I.” and walked away.

It was totally Crispin Glover.

CRISIN GLOVER AUTOGRAPH.

He later walked past me holding a cigarette very awkward and asked me how to hold one. Weird dude for sure.

And, thanks Jerry Sandifer for putting that ad in the Rocket.

If you hadn’t we would have never met and I would have never met Ken Stevenson.

It’s this connection that brought my wife and I together. Ken would come to mean so much to me in my life and would later marry me and Darcy.

Jerry and I would eventually live together for a while,

THIS IS ME PLAYING JERRY’S GUITAR (WHICH I OWN) PLUS THIS IS AT THE HOUSE WE LIVED IN TOGETHER ON SHERMAN ST. IN BETWEEN CHRIS TENSE FROM POISON IDEA AND THE BLOODMEN HOUSE.

We would also play music in a Halloween themed cover band called the Punkins. So, I guess the ad did work… Just took us a while.

Kind of a full circle thing…

Friends for life my brother.
