How very kind--thanks, Dave! I had to catch my breath a few times while writing this one, especially in the sections about Bobby Vee, Robert Hunter, and Jerry Garcia. And all the star references started to feel downright uncanny. Glad the piece hit home for you, Dave.
“it felt like I had entered the song”—this is all we can ever hope to obtain. When these moments hit, it’s as if you’ve dissolved into the cosmos. The only thing that matters.
Thanks for the inspiration and the affirmation, Court. Your Denmark paper was a guiding star for my brotherhood angle on this concert. I had that sense of cosmic connection a lot while writing this one. I was also thinking of that line from Dion's "Where or When": "Some things that happened for the first time / Seem to be happening again."
Another beautiful essay, Graley. Tears in my eyes several times.
