Though I enjoy the sentiment and the lack of Iambic pentameter-ish top 40 hits… Have to disagree that nature is healing.
It’s more like a false reprieve. Our date with Destiny has all but been confirmed…and from here it looks like Destiny is a 60 year old trans-sexual, heavyset, chain-smoking trucker in drag with an “anything-goes” attitude

I prefer the classic acts of the Sixties, Temptations, Supremes, etc. The Motown acts went through a finishing school, and I considered them more mature than the White acts overall. The White bands were well produced though, a requirement for radio play, but often got by on Garage Rock.
Little Richard also had some talent, both business and performance. He was behind/wrote for some of the more popular stars of that era. Underappreciated.
… as always … things aren’t always as they seem … almost all of those folks down there in Laurel Canyon had family intelligence connections of one kind or another.

A good book… and one I used in Microcosm and Medium.

Little Richard, a favorite of the Beatles. Often saw him on the Tonight Show.
That book was something… I wasn’t very happy after reading it though, because its a bit painful to let go of - most - of our “heros”, so to speak.
Then, Microcosm and Medium also completely changed my worldview (actually I am re-re-reading it!)
