Im happy to say that at 62, I think Ive reached that point where stuff doesnt bother me as much, and my gratitude level has gone way up, especially having gone through the loss that Ive had, and losing so many of the great artists that I was close to.

The great thing about the arts, and especially popular music, is that it really does cut across genres and races and classes.
