I woke up yesterday morning at around 10 am, turned on my computer and after checking my e-mails decided to browse the news website. I will never forget seeing the image of Dennis Hopper as that crazy photographer in 'Apocalypse now', with the headline reading 'Dennis Hopper dead at age 74'.
Yet another great icon of pop culture has been taken by cancer and it just isn't fair. Dennis Hopper was a brilliant and at times frighteningly genuine actor, a visionary director and inspirational artist. I was lucky enough to see an exhibition of his art works last year and i was blown away by the ingenuity and intensity of some pieces. I will never forget the first time i watched 'Blue Velvet'; i was captivated by Hopper's portrayal of Frank Booth and still get shivers when i think of the 'in dreams' sequence.
