Kung Fu Cowboy Rock & Roll Movie 1 has been written about Coyote's Shaolin Kung Fu lifestyle.
Kung Fu Cowboy album cover photo of End of the Line album by American Zen was shot on the last day of the album overdubs at Scott's house. Coyote laid down his final guitar tracks with his Fender Stratocaster and Marshall Amp shortly after taking these train track photos in Van Nuys, California.

Kung Fu Cowboy Rock & Roll Movie 1 has been written about Coyote's Shaolin Kung Fu lifestyle.
In 1984 Richard Del Connor became "Coyote." Then as a photographer in 1985, the record companies wanted two names for their billing department. So, Coyote became, "The Coyote."
In 2007 after using his www.ActZen.com website to psychoanalyze himself, he became, "The Hippy Coyote." He also stopped using Richard O'Connor name and became Richard Del Connor.
