This picture is from the 1966 Tour book. At the end of the tour I got almost everybody to sign my book. I didn’t ask Mick as it seemed too un-business like at the time. Brian showed his creativity by incorporating a lot of the stuff we had been through together. For now I will give a brief description–
Ronovan, Ronald or whatever… At the time I was also working with Donovan, and I didn’t like my name Ronald.. my uncle and everybody called me Ronnie..(I hate that as well)
Unpleasant character…that speaks for itself 
Mankie’s Wanker.. As Gered Mankowitz was my ‘roommate’ on the road(to save money on motels) I used to tease him..no further detail at this time..
Beautiful Reamer….. my best friend in school -high and college, both noticed that no one pays attention to the majority of what anyone says, so instead of a hand shake and a hello when you first meet someone, we gave a hand shake and said “Ream” (referring to the sexual ream). 99.999% of the people, smile and say hello back, never acknowledging the ‘ream’. Brian acknowledged this.
Walkie Hawkie Doll… another reference to a (this is going to be hard to describe as you had to be there and it is lost in translation ‘well not so much translation as sounding childish but what was, was..’) thing we did.. and that thing was called ‘hawking’. Basically, a guy would unzip his pants and –see the illustration that Brian drew..(the Jewish star was also a reference to the fact that I would tease him after the release of his “Nazi photo stepping on the baby doll.”–I’d say that as a Jew I would ‘get him’) and a further reference to me being an unpleasant character.
A preposterous New Year… all said he was a very loving guy..
