Charlotte, we are soul sisters. Even though you are a Stones girl and I am a Beatles girl. Even though George was (is) your favorite, and mine was (is) John. With a preacher’s fervor I tell anyone who will listen to watch Above Us Only Sky. It transformed my little girl’s idol of him ( then later disappointment in him) into a deep admiration of the beautiful, complex person he was and helped me understand a love story that was shaped and distorted by the press. Happy belated birthday to John. And while it’s so hard to pick a favorite, I think the song of his I love now, more than ever, is Imagine.

Oh, I love that someone I know has seen this docu! It was just incredible and, like you, I was left with a deep admiration for them both. I love when a film or book does that - it’s so rare! Imagine will be a spiritual song of hope and inspiration for the ages. Yes, I think more and more we are soul sisters. Isn’t it cool?

Agree! And I think our concerts were better because it was all about the music, not dancers and high tech productions. The ticket prices were reasonable, too. I can’t believe how expensive they are now!
