Saint Pasolini was BOTD in 1922 & died in 1975 at 53. The genius poet, philosopher, film director, writer, intellectual and thirst trap is one of the great martyrs of the 20th century whose death, a political assassination disguised as a fatal run in w/ rough trade, is now mythic

RIP legendary painter Margaret Keane, dead at 94. Thankfully her deadbeat husband, Walter, who took credit for the paintings, was discredited when Margaret won a paint-off in court in 1986 proving only she could paint the wide-eyed hell-children that spooked me badly as a kid

Chantal Akerman, Belgian filmmaker, film theorist & lesbian feminist, who directed more than 40 films & TV projects, was BOTD in 1950 & took her own life in 2015 at 65. I took this photo of her apartment buzzer in the 20th Arrondissement in Paris when I was staying nearby

Hollywood hunk John Gavin, of Chilean-Mexican descent, was BOTD in 1931 and died in 2018 at the age of 86. He was a Republican but so what, look at those feet. Gay old Larry Olivier devoured him with his eyes in Kubrick's "Spartacus" (1960)

RIP the great Japanese composer, music producer & actor Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has died at 71. He'll always be etched in my heart for his music for & performance in Nagisa Oshima's "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" (1983), one of the great queer romantic love stories of modern times

Kris Kristofferson whispers "Don't let the bastards get you down" when Sinead O'Connor is booed from the stage in 1992 at a Bob Dylan concert two days after her infamous ripping up the Pope on SNL. They told him to go out & stop her from performing but he encouraged her instead

Pasolini was BOTD in 1922 & died in 1975 at 53. Poet, philosopher, film director, he is one of the great martyrs of the 20th century whose death, a probable political assassination disguised as a fatal run in with rough trade, remains to this day as murky as the JFK assassination

HBD sexy Canadian actor Elias Koteas, BOTD in 1961, turning 62 today. When I saw Cronenberg's "Crash" in 1996 the audience sat quietly through the most extreme scenes of sexual violence but when Spader kissed Koteas they collectively hissed & cried "No!" It was very informative
