just another ex-jazz-musician/proto-rapper/Jersey-Irish-poet-actor/print-junkie/film-raptor/beat-hipster-"white Negro"-rhapsodizer/ex-hippie-punk-'60s-radical-organizer's take on all things cultural, political, spiritual & aggrandizing
seems yesterday is that far away that time does fly and not not a minute goes by when someone close leaves us so when i read this and recall where when who i was some time ago i let go of all become small
I'll never forget that night. We were at a Stevie Wonder concert at the Oakland Coliseum. Someone came out and whispered something in Stevie's ear and you could see right away that something was terribly wrong. He announced John's death and the whole place gave out a gasp of disbelief followed by a murmur of grief and sorrow. Stevie dedicated the remainder of the show to John.
I can only relate two events during my lifetime to exactly where I was and what I did when I got the news. Lennon's death. And the fall of the Berlin Wall.
