ROCK DREAMS CONTEST WINNERS
The artist, David T. Kearns, tells us about himself: "The original was done in '68 when I was at school in N.T.C. I work in a factory now." Factory? This guy's lucky he ain't committed! His "Jimi Hendrix at the Kennedy Assassination" was probably the most bizarre juxtaposition in any of the entries.

Roll over Sigmund Freud! The say ol' Sig missed a few things when he was putting together his book on dream analysis. Fact is, he missed about 4,200 of the strangest nocturnal emissions ever emitted! Reactions around here to your R6ck Dreams Contest entries ranged from raucous laughter to raucous throwing up to gape-mouthed, slack-jawed, wide-eyed wonder at the weirdness of it all.
But, anyway, you did more than your part to make the contest a tremendous success in terms of quantity and quaEty of response, so there's no getting out of it, we gotta fork over. First prize (Look out!), a limited edition portfolio of six of the original Guy Peelaert paintings, valued at $500, goes to David Lee, who at one time, lived in Pittsburgh (see The Beat Goes On). In case you didn't notice yet, turn the page and see his winning pencil drawing handsomely (?) illuminating this month's Alice Cooper icover story! Congrats, Dave, wherever you are!
Congrats abo to Laura Ruth of Akron, Ohio, our first runner-up, whose unreasonable obsession with David Bowie has finally amounted to something. And more congratulations and Rock Dreams books and t-shirts to the 18 other runners-up, who dreamed us the likes of Lou Reed as a watermelon farmer, Jagger making time with his fave bird, Bowie, and more and more and GO SEE TOUR ANALYSTS IMMEDIATELY!!! >
To one and aR, ecstatic winners and suicidal losers, thanks mucho for your time, effort, humor, and extreme sickness, and welcome to your rock dreams.

Sometimes you get a little funny up there in t{wm Oregon woods. Oregonian David Stout's reck dream is called "Just Another Crucifixion," and features none other than km Anderson as God. (Charlton Heston is gonna be so jealous!) David informs us that the crucified Ian is protesting: "I am the Mother. I am the flea on the begger's arm. I am the Father." It's a great gimmick, Ian. But is it too obscure?
Here's another rock 'n' roll movie you'll probably never see, David Allen's "A Rock work Orange, starring David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Alice Cooper." David explains Ids pencil drawing thusly: "I though those personalties fit well into the ultra-violence thing."
Id Stemerts' ink drawing is untitled. We've been calling it the "EnO Machine." We also think this is a pretty reaBstic rendering of the ol' Een.
David Lee, yea beautiful Dreamer, yea won our contest with this drawing of Alice Cooper, the Budweiser serpent! New where the hell are yea? You neglected to give us yew new address, end we gotta know it by July 15th or else (soo The Beat Goes On)... Just where is your head at, man???
