I let out a breath on this. Smashing dreams with a wrecking ball. I feel this very much

Tremendous work.

Sounds like it’ll kick you in the gut and make you feel everything. 👍

Damian, I felt this in more ways than I can count.

“ Give misery an inch it’ll take a mile

This one will change the life we knew

Each passing day grows more hostile

Can’t outrun fate tightening the screw” — Whew. Talk about chills.. it makes me somber realizing how one can relate to our own experiences, but find peace in knowing I am not alone. Best wishes, my friend. We are in this fight together. xx

Outstanding piece my friend. Great job.

Damn if you didn’t encapsulate perfectly the world we’re trying to navigate now. If it’s not torpedoes from above, it’s landmines below. People having to go bankrupt putting food on the table while criminals feast in exalted places. I’d be riled up if it was so depressing. Another solid one, my friend

Wild.. that band could not see the sense of being controlled. I enjoyed this, Damian. They left the F bombs in, huh. Nice

Great fucking band. These guys took no shit and did it there way. Live at Leeds is one of the best live recordings I have ever heard. Great piece of writing Damian.

That is such a cool story my friend. I mean he’s responsible for the image and attitude of the band. He wrote a lot of the music as well. Thanks for sharing, so glad you connected with the story. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Quadrophenia, was a brilliant album. I’m not sure on the Mama Cass story, though it does sound familiar. Keith, wasn’t meant to live long for sure. He was a partier for sure, and a wild man on top of that. lol. Appreciate you.

Why does it seem like the greats die early? Like their burned so hot their inner fire was too much for the body to survive. You picked my favorite song too. Way back when MTV was real music videos, I swear there was an animation of a TV landing in a pool. I might be imagining it though. If it was really a memory though, must have been a nod to him, huh? Another great episode, my friend!

Exquisite letters Damien.Your descriptive tones are impressive.

How a poem of perhaps tanning ends up as an emotional state or seeking transformation is marvelous! Well done, Damian! “)

in this world so bedeviled by information obligations and sadnesses stepping away is absolutely necessary
Cheers to our plucky attempts at finding solace!

This is like a deep breath of fresh air after being caged up all day. Definitely needed it! Beautifully inspiring, my friend

Queen was an amazing band and Freddie Mercury knew how to use his voice in the most perfect way. When I hear “Show Must Go On” I just think of how it just shouldn’t have been possible, but here is this rare gem.

Great ink

Check me on this if I’m wrong, but it’s my belief that Freddy sang his ass off every time he sang. That man was larger than life! By the way, are you flipping through my CDs for the most recent editions? I get excited every time I see a new one…groupie! 😂🙈 It’s beautiful to think he gave it his all right up until the end. That…is a legend all on its own. Much enjoyed, my friend
