Interested in the impact the moon has on this artist. Always fascinated with lunar cycles and planetary impacts on the mentally ill and highly sensitive artists. Lots of facts, hogwash, and myths ("rabbit holes") floating around on how creativity, mood, and overall physical and mental health is affected by planetary motion. Good stuff.

looking forward to the interview. I'm a spry 70+ year-old too. Interested in that 40 hit playlist from the 60s.

I will be posting the entire text of the essay about Gary and his work this weekend, plus an update on what he's up to now.

So with the playlist, I basically just looked at Billboard's annual Top 100 for the years 1968 through 1971 and added the top ten songs from each. Definitely keeping the playlist, I really dig it! Age of Aquarius, baby!
