Taylor Negron's Christmas Story
Some incandescent childhood memories, retold last spring at the Wharton Center in East Lansing, Michigan
“You will never, ever see a monkey walk through that door!”
As actor Taylor Negron recalled very recently for New York City storytelling series The Moth, that is what his New York-bred mother firmly declared one day in 1970 in Los Angeles after Negron, then 12, expressed a desire to own a primate. But sometimes, even such resolutely set circumstances can magically change.
Do yourself a favor and listen to (or watch below) Negron’s retelling of how Carroll came into his life at Christmastime and eventually wowed Jim Morrison, Negron’s cousin Chuck and the rest of Three Dog Night.
