Toward the end of my friendship with Scott, when he started getting
crazy—well, when we all did—right near the Chelsea there was a fish store that
sold tropical fish and supplies. Scott said “Come on in here with me!” He had
an off-white Donna Karan suit on, and he started shoplifting aquarium plants out
of the aquariums! He would just reach his hand down into the tank and steal this
whole plant and put it in his suit jacket's pocket! His arm was soaking wet! It
was ridiculous! And those guys at the fish store didn't say a word to him! When
hewasstealingthoseplantsoutoftheaquarium,Iwasfreakingout.Ialwayshad
cocaine on me, and weed, and I was thinking, “Oh man, why in the hell are you
doing this?”
And then he took the plants and put them in the aquarium in his room at the
Chelsea.
Once, Scott had said to me, “Man, you need this painting.” Pretty much, he
had given it to me. It was a grave rubbing of Lizzie Borden, Sharon Tate, and
all these other names. It was a huge red painting, and beautiful. So I had one of
Scott's big paintings in our room.
But one time, Scott and I had a falling out over something small, because we
didn't get together to meet with him somewhere.

I was angry. I had a big ego. I said, “Forget it! I'm not giving you the painting
back.”
That went on for two or three weeks. A friend of Scott's even came to me,
trying to convince me to give it back, and Ellis Duncan tried. Finally, I just said,
“Okay, Scott, you can have the picture back.” And we made up. The last time I

dio 54. He was on that show talking about it, and he had cut his hair.
