The first time I hosted Robert Altman at the studio, after the show I asked him, who else do you know that could come down to the studio and host a show? He immediately said, Sam Cutler, he landed me a photo gig of the Stones in L.A. when I worked for Rolling Stone.
I reached out to Sam, he was totally chill and was game, he wanted to come by as soon as he hit the Bay Area. After Sam’s first visit I asked him, who do you know that could come down and do a show at the studio? He immediately took me over and introduced me to Rosie McGee (who also did a show at the studio and a dear friend). Sam came to the studio 3 times (twice with Joel Selvin and once with Brad Kava).
Those days were a blast and I met many folks I admire and love.
Sam was a legend and I’m honored that we were friends.
RIP Sam Cutler.
