Tweaky Dave Death? Top 150 Latest Answer

Tweeky Dave died at the age of 19, 26 or 33. No one knew or cared except for his friend Echo and San Francisco photographer Jim Goldberg, who followed this desperate runaway couple.

Goldberg’s Collection of Artifacts, Documenting a smorgasbord of Street Ks from 1985 to 1995 capture most of the photo galleries on the third floor of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, beginning with Fray. In its third year of a nationwide tour, the runaway project finally reaches its hometown with a captivating montage of photography, video, snapshots, letters and objects.

“It’s quite overwhelming and so diverse,” says SFMOMA photo curator Sandra Phillips, who saw the exhibition at Washington’s Corcoran Gallery of Art two years ago. “It’s an amazing variety of visual information.”

The exhibition is called “Raised by Wolves” and that would have been an improvement. For many of these Ks, parenthood began with an inherited drug addiction and ended shortly after sex and abuse began.

Tweeky Dave, for example, claims to have left home at the age of 12 after his father shot him in the stomach as discipline for busting a drug deal. He has a scar where his belly button used to be, and he shows it to Goldberg’s camera. This image is included in a 315-page companion book.

“HOLLYWOOD LOVE STORY”

“It’s a Hollywood love story, but it’s a real one,” says Goldberg, who happened to find Echo and Tweeky Dave and a supporting cast. He didn’t intend to stay with them for 10 years, but “the story just kept happening,” he says.

It wouldn’t end until Tweeky Dave made good on his promise to die young, despite giving various accounts of his age. But he wouldn’t leave a pretty corpse at 90 pounds withered tracks of bone and needles. By then, Echo had become an unmarried teenage mother after jumping from Tweeky Dave to Twack Jack. Doug, in between, is the father, and he’s not very proactive about showing child support since he’s serving 15-20 in prison.

“The reason I exist is to make normal people feel like who they are,” says Echo zu Goldberg, who is 44 and prefers living in the extremes. He earned his Masters of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980 and was in a group show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art four years later. Goldberg’s contribution was a juxtaposition of very rich San Franciscos against very poor. It’s called “Rich and Poor” and has captions written by the people in longhand under their prints, a form of documentary expression pioneered by Goldberg. “The life of poor people is less complicated,” wrote one society matron beneath her austere portrait. “You don’t have to worry about running such a big house.”

“It’s pretty stinky living in this hotel,” scolded an impoverished young man staring into the Vo. “I’m always waiting for someone to walk through my door and give me money, but nobody ever will.” The vintage prints of ‘Rich and Poor’ are on display at the Stephen Wirtz Gallery near SFMOMA.*100021 *

As in “Rich and Poor”, some of the most convincing lyrics in “Raised by Wolves” were also written by the subjects.

“It’s not like you can go home and watch TV,” reads a caption to a boy who looks like a girl and wears a t-shirt that convincingly says “Crazy J.”

“I want to get a car and drive to New York, but somehow I don’t know how to drive,” says a young man with a syringe between his teeth like a dagger.

(In another supplemental show that opened Tuesday at SF Camerawork just behind SFMOMA, subjects wrote on the actual pictures as stars autograph pictures. “The Way I See It,” co-sponsored by SFMOMA, is the result of a workshop for ks, many of whom were homeless or in foster care.)

Goldberg likes contrasts, and that’s exactly what he wanted with his Runaway series. He had done a study on old people in nursing homes and wanted to follow it up with “Ks in Trouble”. But they are not listed in the Yellow Pages.”The best way,” he says, “was to just hit the street and meet ks.”

PARKS, ALLEYS AND POLK STREET

He went to squats, parks and alleys and Polk Street where the young hookers work. He then drifted back and forth with the flotsam from here to Los Angeles. There he met Echo from New York and Tweeky Dave from Texas, who shared the dream of being discovered by Hollywood.

“It wasn’t until a year into the project that I developed empathy for the ks,” he says, and it took me about that long to gain their trust. It helped when he was able to save the scrawny runaways from the stomps of some skinheads he knew. He was also useful with clothing, food, bus tickets, and sending messages to friends and parents. He avoided giving them a lot of money because he knew where it was going, but he was never judgmental.

“I’m not a social worker,” he says. “I was more of a storyteller of sorts, a vehicle that gave a voice to people who don’t have the opportunity to be heard.” He recorded his interviews with the ks, their parents, the police, the clergy and the service auditors who every day in the trenches trying to make life easier for runaways.

Snippets of dialogue in the book can be funny and poignant, like when Tweeky Dave says to Echo, “I’ll support you for the rest of your life—that is, if you can live on $2 a day.”* 100041*

Echo after her Led Zeppelin jacket was stolen: “I’m sick of this street. It’s lame. Domino’s doesn’t even deliver.”

Sometimes Goldberg tried to tempt her to analyze herself.

Jim: “What about your father? Do you want to talk about it?”

Blade: “I’d rather talk about drugs. I need some stimulants.”

“Stop looking for an answer, Jim,” Tweeky Dave told him. “Da f– there aren’t any. I’m still looking for God’s phone number.”

Goldberg was frustrated with her self-destructive tendencies, but he never gave up on them. It was home to Echo’s mother, R. Sylvia, who had traveled from the East to give birth to her granddaughter. There wasn’t much space as Goldberg and his wife lived in a small apartment on Haight Street. R. Sylvia provided Goldberg with home videos of Echo as a child. These will greet visitors at the entrance to the exhibition. After seeing the images for Goldberg’s book, R. Sylvia said, “If this could happen in my house, it could happen in any house in America.”

Through a sugar daddy, Tweeky Dave managed to become fodder for TV talk shows by telling the host that his father had raped him before shooting him.

When he finally died of knee failure, doctors wanted to devote his body to science to find out how he managed to live so long.

Goldberg, who had become a surrogate parent, refused and had the body cremated. He still has Tweeky Dave’s ashes in his apartment. He was instructed by Dave to dump her in a dumpster in a Hollywood alley, but didn’t have the heart to do it. After the funeral, Dave’s family finally showed up. His adoptive father called and said he never abused or shot the boy, the scar was from an intestinal surgery. “You don’t know what’s true or what’s not, or who to believe. It’s somewhere in between,” says Goldberg.

In the book’s prologue, Tweeky Dave says, “Damn girl, it’s just a story. It’s not real. And don’t worry, there’s a happy ending.”

“These are guys who have literally been screwed by adults,” says Goldberg. “Nevertheless, they still seek adult trust and affection.”

He occasionally hears from some of his runaway friends, though they don’t stop by his studio to see him. The location in a converted police station in the Mission District might frighten you.

Goldberg’s office is where the lieutenant was sitting. Above the door is a large gold star that reads “Tweeky Dave” like a tombstone.

Goldberg made it to the memorial, playing on Dave’s prediction that “when I die, they’ll rename Hollywood after me.”

That’s a stretch, but Goldberg thinks he should at least have “a star on Hollywood Boulevard,” he says.”I’m not romanticizing because he was a junkie. But he was also an angel, just as much a star as anyone who came to Hollywood with a dream.”

Notes on Jim Goldberg’s Raised by Wolves.

Fraying?
Dad,
I’m really sorry about
lose control of me
+ hurt you (+ the, “um”,
bathroom mirror).
I know + understand
this talk means no
damn it from
now. (Especially out of my mouth.) …

A few facts before it gets messy. This unattributed note — handwritten as neatly as a science homework assignment, its margin adorned with a ghostly heart — appears in Jim Goldberg’s massive photo book Raised by Wolves (1995), alongside a blurred snapshot of a scarecrow-like boy leaning forward as if hit by a storm. I believe this boy is Tweeky Dave, a dead drug-addicted teenager who died of liver disease circa 1993; He was something of a famous brat on the streets of Los Angeles a few years before his death, whom he haunted in search of opiates. He’s also the hero of Goldberg’s epic book that chronicles the lives of various homeless people in and around LA (Call to Echo, Wobbly-eyed Marcos, Wolfette, Vampchild – “that cute boy who says he’s a real vampire” – and Blade) and is crammed with transcripts of their conversations, social service faxes, Polaros, and other dingy ephemera that bear witness to the decade Goldberg spent shadowing his subjects. Following her through the book — on drugs, out of school, and on the run from ogre parents — also means grappling with some of the worst fallout of the Reagan-Bush years: the predatory mutilation of educational programs and social services, not to mention the, ahem, decline of the “family values” they purported to protect. Tweeky Dave is just the most pathetic embodiment of the trouble all these acts can cause.

“I’m really sorry I’ve lost control of myself…” Raised by Wolves is about what happens when the self is lost through all the drugs and neglect while the economy runs wild will and the parents will disappear. By now the ks are too far apart to know what day it is.

Before Dave died, he also liked to call Jim Goldberg “Dad”. Look at the image of a scar snaking up Dave’s stomach and it’s obvious his real father, “a biker from hell” shot him…

Or maybe he stabbed him?

He might not have either: it depends on how much you believe the stories coming out of this junkie mouth, which Dave admits is famous for telling tall tales. Three hundred pages later he’s on his deathbed telling Dad to invite James Brown, Trent from Nine Inch Nails, Stephen King and Cher (what the fuck) to his funeral. This sad event takes place on a sunny day outside a Salvation Army youth center. Cher doesn’t make it. At the end the ks release balloons into the sky.

*

The, uh, “task” that opens the book shows a pretty pine house, blurred, shrouded in flowers and sleepy trees, seen through a weirdo’s binoculars. As we talk on the phone, Goldberg tells me he was thinking of Buffalo Bill in Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs (1991), the toad-voiced sociopath who kidnaps and kills innocent women after tracking their movements through his night vision goggles. Lycanthropic Vibes: We could experience the perspective of the big bad wolf lurking outside the home of a juicy little pig. There’s also something fairytale-like, upstate-yllish about the image that may not even show Echo’s mother’s real home, but rather an oddly familiar dream home liberated from elsewhere, adding to her claim of what happened to her family Gives resonance could strike “every house in America.”

What Goldberg has amassed in Raised by Wolves isn’t a real story, which wouldn’t be a fitting tribute to the ks since they never told the whole truth anyway, but something lyrical and a little feverish. Facts rise or fall as they make their way through the night. “Some of the names,” Goldberg tells me, “were changed to protect the innocent.Verification is difficult when tested against the KS’s habits of compulsive myth-making, which is also a survival strategy: I cannot be hurt if I am not the real me.

*

Detritus scattered throughout the book (an unfinished list): a court report featuring FUCK U ARSHOLE scribbled on with felt tip pen; an onion ring advert repurposed as the setting for a story about collecting heroin after dark; a copied Rorschach blob, commonly referred to as “Card IV” in clinical situations, also known as the “Father Card”, that funky monster looming over you, legs stretched out over your soon-to-be corpse; Echo’s Old Cheap Trick T-Shirt; various bleak meditations on existence, such as “My mother and father repel [sic] me […] everything is wrong”, written by teenagers in the hand of elementary school.

*

To say that Raised by Wolves is still darkly relevant today is an understatement. You don’t have to drive Danny Brown crazy and rap on Atrocity Exhibition (2016) to find out — “Don’t have a soul / Myself I don’t know no more!” — just look at the moment in at which a cop barks an unnamed and unarmed k, “Don’t move or I’ll blow your shithead off!”

Dave later disses the cops as “rednecks with boners.”

Dave is in love with Echo, but she doesn’t love him back. Familiar teenage problems, except the average K in love doesn’t say, “Baby, I love you so much I’d drink your blood” while gulping down five hits of LSD and craving heroin. Drinking blood is also on the mind of punk fox Blade and her boyfriend Tank, as they drive down Hollywood Boulevard (“The Boulie,” in Wolfslang) with Goldberg in tow and “(always) stop at Bela Lugosi’s star.” on the Walk of Fame “and suck each other’s necks”. Poor Bela was also a junkie and filmed Demerol for two decades until flaky film director Ed Wood checked him into rehab. Addiction is a little vampire kiss, the parasitic romance that slowly eats away at you. Maybe when it feels like they’re the only things keeping you alive, it’s natural to mix the two kinds of love together into a toxic mix.

In the New York suburbs at Christmas, Echo’s mother (nicknamed R. Sylvia) explains what happened to her little girl. She started running away when she was thirteen — “one night she slept in a Goodwill dumpster” — because she was regularly molested by her ex-cop stepdad. When the abuse became public knowledge, “she stopped going to school and she refused to see a psychologist.” She hitchhiked into Kansas City, was dragged to a group home, and fell back to her mother’s home, struggling but after a while and somehow made it to Hollywood.

R. Sylvia: One night she called me to watch a TV talk show. It was the guy with the big mouth. She says she hated him. Got up the next morning and she was gone. Just as. To California.

Jim: What was the show about?

R. Sylvia: I don’t know. Rock stars I guess.

There was this phase in the 90’s when talk shows acted as a hotline into the darkest regions of the national psyche and at the same time served as an accentuated, shocking entry into the colorful freakiness of underground culture for ks in suburbia. GWAR flew to Joan Rivers from their home planet. G.G. Allin growled through his performances at Geraldo. Marilyn Manson looked like a creature from the moon on Donahue.

Dave, a garrulous ghost in a bright green sweatshirt and baseball cap, starred in a few episodes of The Jerry Springer Show between 1991 and 1992, eager to be ogled by his audience as an authentic example of what someone else might be doing elsewhere in the World is book referred to as “America’s Decay”. VHS rips of his performances are still circulating on YouTube. Dave is painful to watch, his body skeletal, his eyes like bugs, his teeth like pirates, as he talks about his real father: “I don’t know if it was the Vietnam War or if he was just crazy.” Someone commented on the video of his second appearance: “WOW / this is as REAL as it gets / n thinking things are only going to get worse [sic].”

Family drama: Asked by Dav Brinkley for ABC News on December 22, 1989 about the escalating problem of homelessness in America’s cities, Ronald Reagan declared: “You decide for yourself whether to stay out there. There’s shelters in practically every city … and these people still prefer walking onto those bars and lawns than going into one of these shelters.” Remember that one of Reagan’s ultra-creepy nicknames for Nancy, the First Lady, “Mommy” was. If Pop didn’t even have a recipe for the dispossessed beyond amazement and contempt, Mommys was no better. “Just say no,” was her advice—not exactly sensible when, like Echo, your memory is a dumping ground of trauma: incest, lost horses, the routine humiliations of filming tricks. The fantastic white powder in the hands of a cute boy will take away all your effort.Who could say no to something like that? Come on darling, this is how fairy tales begin.

Dave high-fives sunlight as he lies on the Walk of Fame, a skeleton catching some rays as the normal folks walk by.

There is also the psychogeographical severity of LA to consider. Much of the action in Raised by Wolves takes place in the shadows of Hollywood’s industrial-entertainment complex. The Ks stalk Tinseltown like hungry ghosts. On this murky edge of Highway 101 under the Hollywood Freeway, a handsome brother pulls up in a convertible. Poor Marcos (“he calls himself the ugly duckling”) fails to seduce him into going on a date. There’s the troll occupation, and “the old Errol Flynn estate on the hill has been occupied”. Sometimes the Ks head to rathole motels at night to get high, nod, or marvel at what’s flickering on TV, including, Goldberg notes, a Schmaltzfest about an orphan girl rescued from the horrors of street life by some Daddy Warbucks –like benefactor. Sk Row is waiting. And twenty-seven miles from the Boulie is Manhattan Beach, home of McMartin Preschool, whose staff notoriously faced trial from 1987-1990. Children barely old enough to spell their own names claimed their teachers arranged hot-air balloon rides at the cemetery for festive outbursts of animal sacrifice and molestation. That was the time when bad children were said to be in league with Satan.

Annie, Dorothy the Artful Dodger, even dimwitted Ryan Atwood from The O.C. all embody the orphan as a supernatural combination of cherub, rascal and hunk who deserve a special reward for the traumas they have witnessed. Their real-life counterparts are treated like hot trash. But maybe it’s fun being a drug-obsessed Rapscallion, haunting dank underpasses and parking lots, setting your brain on fire with freaky chemicals, running from the cops like they’re Captain Hook and you Peter Pan… in the right spirit, all festering Location could be Neverland. See the young skater looking like he’s on fire or the ks polaros grinning. No adults. There are reasons they “stay out there”, Ronnie.

A snapshot portrait from Goldberg’s book Rich and Poor (1985) proves another reading of the fragile bond between parents and children that emerges in Raised by Wolves. It shows a protective mother and her skinny blond angelic son, hands in his underwear, together in a desolate little room. “My mother looks pretty,” the boy writes in crooked Crayola alphabet, “I look scared.”

Goldberg says that one of the questions raised by Raised by Wolves is: “Who are the wolves now, the parents or the children?” Old questions: Can you be born a wolf or does your environment turn you into one transformed and find solace even in harsh conditions, as in the story of Romulus and Remus, famous orphan brothers being nursed by a wolf mother? Whatever else happens, a brutal juvenile detention system ensures a child’s demise and turns it into, as an adviser at the Youth Guance Center in San Francisco Goldberg puts it, “the cold-blooded killing of animals that cannot be helped.”

Two shots from the juvenile detention center: a Christmas tree crouching in the corner like a shriveled mushroom, and a picture of a bed presumably used in a turn-of-the-century insane asylum, its frame tied together with suffocating straps. Sweet dreams.

Audio samples:

“Tell me, I heard they have job interviews for the carnival.”

“Yesterday we were walking down the boulevard and this huge lion came towards us.”

“She made me snort mousse.”

“I’m lonely. I’ll get a puppy and name it Megadeth.”

Any ks marginalized by family disdain or indifference – or their own private longing for a life a little more dangerous than the average Happy Days iteration – are drawn together in this motley gathering. There’s punks, guys whose dads died in Vietnam, a hair metal girl in a rush shirt (the chorus of her misfit jam “Subdivisions” is: “Conform or be cast out!”), LA goths , fabulous gay black boys performing in what hasn’t even been called “transition”, obnoxious skaters and various drug addicted rascals. Dave lists the contents of his childhood before he hit the streets, listing candy bars, heroin, television and stray dogs. “It was a weird family, dude,” he says, “it wasn’t The Brady Bunch.”

*

The gay contingent is having a lot of fun. Meet Deion: “I’m so good Miss Thang, I made $250 just for sitting in a hot tub and jerking off this daddy […] Got fucked good and got free food.” Look, this guy cares about me.”

Deion is a homo hoodlum with a penchant for getting ripped to the max with Hollywood’s best speed and hubba (crack). He could have starred in a West Coast version of Paris is Burning. One spring night, while frantically chasing his beloved Hubba, he and a bunch of wild-eyed buddies steal a car and are nearly shot by the police. Escaping the wrath of LA’s best (who will soon be infamous everywhere for beating up Rodney King) he burns rubber in another hotel room where he smokes rocks until his brain melts while the alarm on the ceiling keeps buzzing starts again. It’s no heartbreaking surprise as he walks through the book. Goldberg learns he’s “cooling off in some sort of witness protection program while helping out a former hotel hot shot who’s into little boys and girls.”

Another disappearing act.

Three cops roll down the street seen from a high window like a parano speed freak.

Whatever the toxic nature of the relationships between teenage crooks and their suitors (Goldberg says, “there have always been adults who exploited children”), the ks spend a lot of time bragging about their sugar daddies and their fantastic to describe generosity. There is an art to cultivating the attention of these shadowy gentlemen. Some guys invent sugar daddies to look wanted and adored, like little kids dramatizing the exploits of their imaginary friends.

Dave Goldberg calls from the hospital, Dave sings the scarecrow ditty “If I Only Had a Brain” but sneakily turns it into a junkie lament: “If I Only Had a Vein”…then the line goes dead.

When Dave dies, the hospital connects Goldberg to the boy’s family in Texas and he learns the true story. If it contradicts Dave’s Lur story, it’s just as tragic. Dave was one of two orphaned twins adopted by a good-natured Christian couple – his obsession with Echo suddenly looks like a doomed attempt to capture this missing double, his absent sister. As this unnamed sibling explains over the phone, Dave was born without abs and had to undergo experimental surgery in a b to fix it. “He was a mess,” says his sister coldly, “and no one expected him to live past eighteen.” When asked why her brother makes up such wild stories about his life, she says, “I guess Dav could never differentiate between reality and his dreams.I think it was because of his mental and physical issues. They got in the way of everything. He was so outstanding that he never grew up. He ended up being a very confused boy.”

To Goldberg, the family surrenders the rights to Dave’s remains as neighbors allow a lost dog to be recovered from their yard: “Yes, that would be fine.”

“I’ll call her again,” Goldberg writes, and “leave a message about the date of the funeral. They never call back.” Goldberg still has the box of Dave’s ashes.

The balloons rise into the sky.

“I know this whole round world do not love me nohow,” sings Washington Phillips on 1929’s “I Had a Good Mother and Father,” “and it’s because of sin.”

Echo, still addicted in her first trimester, has a baby with a wasto named Twack Jack, whom Goldberg calls “a dog-faced surfer geek,” and shortly after that another with a second guy: two girls. The boy flies – Twack Jack slams wheelies in the hospital parking lot and chases Goldberg for drug money when Echo is in labor – but miraculously she cleans up. She watches TV; she changes her name back to Beth; She takes care of the girls. She says to Goldberg, “I like having a place to brush my teeth”: a warm, sanitized piece of happiness.

A home video of Echo as a glowing ghost lounging on the swing set in the afternoon sun.

An elementary school portrait of Echo appears early in the book. She’s a blonde little girl in a cotton candy pink dress with a cute gap-toothed grin. Beside the picture is a careful little note commemorating a family outing as if it were paradise, sweet and bright and gone forever.

We saw everything and everything that could be seen
It was the best time
We stopped in the middle of
this light green forest
I ran away and climbed a tree
Nothing but bright green everywhere.
That was the time
My parents were happiest together
And I was the happiest with them
That was the only time I can
Remember we are real family.

Character origin

Tweaky Dave was a person who grew up on the streets of Los Angeles. As a destitute child, he experienced many struggles. Author Jim already knew that he spent all his years taking pictures with people and recording his existence as a penniless kid in San Francisco. The author saw many turbulent existences on the street life, which is more often a kind of “raised by wolves”

The Journey

Tweaky Dave’s journey is not described by himself because he was very distraught, so the author made his own excuses and wrote about his life and put it in a book with some discussion snippets, drawings, transcribed notes, previews and photos. * 100017*

According to some posts from Washington, reading the novel with tragic images by Tweaky Dave makes everyday life wasteful. Most Cyberians feel sorry for themselves for their behavior towards him, which now continues throughout their lives, and many people say that he was very friendly and not a troublemaker.
