Research is heavy. The books, the stories, the lyrics, the losses. Selected a few from among my shelves of these. Today is the 43rd anniversary of John Lennon’s murder. Imagine…if the world he imagined existed for us.

Ken--I had so many books to choose from, and when I picked these, I saw they were stories of loss, early death, mental illness, drug and alcohol additions--and yet how often they triumphed over those and gave us the soundtracks of our lives. Amazing--and yet, as you say, a lot to process.
Wow such a rich time for music and so many unfortunate events. Even today I'm not sure how to process the flow of history. Promise and tragedy in equal measure.
