Theater critic Michael Feingold once remarked that the paradox of Sam Shepard consisted in his having the mind of a Kafka trapped in the body of a Jimmy Stewart. It was Franz Kafka who wrote that a book must be the ax for the frozen sea in us. And in the more than 4. Sam Shepard has written since 1. American playwright has been breaking open that frozen sea with an originality of vision, a jolting intermingling of humor and grief, a profound examination of the hopes and failures of the American family and an astonishing ear for the cadences of the American idiom. With plays like The Unseen Hand, Curse of the Starving Class, Buried Child for which he won the 1. Pulitzer Prize, True West, Fool for Love and the recent A Lie of the Mind, Shepard has cloaked himself in the mantle once worn by Eugene ONeill and Tennessee Williams. This Franz Kafka with a lariat, this desert haunted cowboy stranger, has also, as an actor, attained the popularity of matinee idols such as Jimmy Stewart and Gary Cooper. With his lean, Sam Shepard lanky, cleft chinned, high cheekboned, snaggletoothed, blue eyed good looks, Sam Shepard has been a magnetic presence in films such as Days of Heaven, Resurrection, Frances, The Right Stuff, Country and Fool for Love. In the words of The Right Stuffs director, Phil Kaufman, Shepard has a quality that is so rare now you dont see it in the streets much, let alone in the movies a kind of bygone quality of the Forties, when guys could wear leather jackets and be laconic and still say a lot without verbally saying anything. Born Samuel Shepard Rogers III on November 5th, 1. Fort Sheridan, Illinois, Shepard was an Army brat whose family was stationed for various periods in South Dakota, Utah, Florida and Guam and finally settled down on an avocado ranch in Duarte, California an end of the road valley town east of Los Angeles. At 1. 9, he left his family and came to New York City as an aspiring actor and musician, started writing his superenergized, music driven early plays, eventually moved to London with his actress wife, O Lan, and son, Jesse, then returned to northern California. He now lives on a farm in Virginia with actress Jessica Lange with whom he appears in the film version of Beth Henleys play Crimes of the Heart, directed by Bruce Beresford and their daughter, Hannah, and Jessicas daughter, Alexandra. Like Bob Dylan, whom he resembles in many ways, Sam Shepard is an intensely private person who shies away from journalists, preferring to allow transformed glimpses of himself to appear in his plays and in books like Hawk Moon and the wonderful Motel Chronicles collections of poems meditations dreams journals visions. Don Sheweys recent biography, Sam Shepard, gives an insightful view of the playwrights life and particularly of his complicated, shattered relationship with his alcoholic father. In conversation, Sam Shepard is happy to speak directly about things that concern him and indirectly about issues of superficial or only personal importance. With an undeniably engaging blue eyed squint and a kind of Western swing twang to his voice, he continually displays an unnerving, surprising and charmingly boyish sense of humor. But most disarming of all is the way he unhesitatingly confronts, explores and clarifies the most painful and sorrowful of matters loss, separation, disillusionment, powerlessness, weakness, fear, lies. In his most recent play, A Lie of the Mind, Sam Shepard has made his most fearless, controlled and deep penetration into the realm of the American psyche. For in this story of two American families with its revelations and reconciliations of the relationships between and among a violent son, his battered wife and his angelic brother the playwright shows how personal and social dreams and lies are one and the same, creating, as he once said Bob Dylan created, a mythic atmosphere out of the land around us. The land we walk on every day and never see until someone shows it to us. It was in an old fashioned, unassuming drugstore on Carton Drive in Beverly Hills, California one of Shepards favorite reading haunts and in the tearoom of the Chateau Marmont Hotel, in Hollywood, that the following interview took place earlier this year. In many of your plays, your characters often perform music onstage, and the feel of your plays is often that of a jazz improvisation or of extended country, blues or rock roll songs. When did your preoccupation with music beginSam Shepard My dad was a kind of semiprofessional Dixieland type drummer, and I learned the drums from him. When I was about twelve, we bought our first Ludwig drum set from a pawnshop a marching band bass drum, great big tom toms and big, deep snare drums. We stripped the paint off of them, varnished them and then set them out in the orchard to dry. I was in high school then in Duarte and started playing in a band called Nats Cats. We performed old swing music, kind of Dixieland stuff, and gradually moved into rock roll. Trumpet, clarinet, drums that was the trio. In this same high school that I went to, there was a student named Mike Romero, who also played the drums. So this competition started a kind of drum wars I once went over to his place and stayed up all night and listened to jazz records for the first time. Then we played for hours, and I discovered what the left hand could do letting the drum hand ride because a rock 8 roll drummer would turn the hand over and smash the snare drum, while the jazz drummer would hold the stick in his open palm so that he could get this snap out of it. Mike Romero was the guy who turned me on to that, and all of a sudden the drums opened up for me. And when I moved to New York City in 1. I started playing drums for the Holy Modal Rounders. Ive always felt a great affinity with music. Writing seems to me to be a musical experience rhythmically and in many other ways. But I dont think that thats so unusual. Crackle Crystals Food Load. Most of the old guys had the same sense Christopher Marlowe thought of himself as a musician. Just another musician killed at a bar. Ive always felt a great affinity with music. Ive felt myself to be more of a musician than anything else, though Im not proficient in any one instrument. But I think I have a musical sense of things and writing seems to me to be a musical experience rhythmically and in many other ways. But I dont think that thats so unusual. Most of the old guys had the same sense Christopher Marlowe thought of himself as a musician. Just another musician killed at a bar laughs and theres that theory that he was Shakespeare. One of your fans told me that you were Shakespeare. And like you, Shakespeare didnt go around promoting himself in the media. I think thats because he didnt exist. I think there was a whole cover up for him. You do Yeah. I think theres a big mystery about Shakespeare, but its too late to confirm it laughs. I mean, look at the plays, the way they suddenly shift gears from the earlier period to those later tragedies. Something happened that nobody knows about. I think he was involved in something deeply mysterious and esoteric, and at the time they had to keep it under wraps. Theres an awful lot of amazing insight in his plays that doesnt come from an ordinary mind. And there was a tremendous monastic movement at that time.
