when i first heard JL bought it i flashed
this vision of those few moments where the pain
and the anger surged through him and then the
peace of the light brought him to his final place.
so while a lot of people wrote a number of tribute
pieces i took my usual route of trying to be in
the head and somehow finding a positive in all
of it. my only experience with john was through
listening to practices tapes my neighbor had
from his numerous studio and tour sessions and
it gave me a lot of insight into how john really
was because of the interactions with the people
around him. some of it was pretty rough. some of
it was funny. some of it pathetic. some of it was
genius. basically john was like most any other
person and that brought the tradegy closer to
all of us.
