What a wonderful tribute! I admire James Dean as an actor, and of course, everyone's acquainted with his rebellious act and good looks. But god, does he fascinate me as a person; the place from where he originated and all the pain in his heart transferred into anger... I'm glad I came across this.

Famous last words, 'That guy's gotta stop...he'll see us." No mention of rain after the Spyder was crushed. Another fine talent dead much too young. When I read it out loud the words morph into Rock On by David Essex. A good write about an incident now 61 years old, but some people are ageless.
