Sam Shepard who will turn 63 this Nov. has an amazing play, "The Tooth of Crime" open at La MaMa Oct.3 to Oct. 22, 2006 in NYC East Village. This is the original version which premiered in 1972. The "Tooth of Crime" is the forerunner of a rap battle waged between a fading rock star and his ambitious rival. The play is rock and roll poetry and if Crow, the newcomer, isn't modeled after Keith Richards, I'll fall from a coconut tree on my head.
