Thread Name: Did you know Gino (Geno) Foreman
Subject: RE: Did you know Gino Foreman
Today Geno would have been 67 years old.

He was born Hugh Quin Foreman on May 29, 1941 in Washington D.C. and died on Nov. 15, 1966 in London, England. His parents were Mairi and Clark Foreman.

Thank you, Flame for bringing the movie DOPE back into the present. It is a beautiful "ART" film. The photography is gorgeous and the editing creative, tight and in sync with the awesome sound track.
Even with its beauty it is very difficult for me to watch and more so on the big screen where the impact is intense. It takes me right back to that time, those four days that Geno was dying at home.

I hope that some of you will listen to the trailer at www.dopethemovie.net and see if you recognize the song he is singing and playing which Flame refers to as "Some Call Me a Junkie". On the original tape I wrote "Drug Song". So my question is: is it traditional or original? I can't imagine anyone but Geno singing it.

Thanks so much for all of your interest.
