| Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book | 'The Low |
| Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this |
| tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his |
| leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to |
| | ... |
| sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. | |
| The 'Low Spark', for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, |
| standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning |
| that strong undercurrent at the street level. |
