Saw Them twice live in 1964, one of my favorite experiences.

John Lennon in a straw hat and round glasses, playing an acoustic guitar outdoors. After his son Sean was born on October 9, 1975, John's own 35th birthday, he stepped away from the music business and spent the next five years at home raising him. He called himself a househusband and said he was happy to be out of the spotlight. He never stopped writing, though. In 1980 he and Yoko Ono went back into the studio and made Double Fantasy, released in November 1980, just weeks before he was killed outside the Dakota in New York. 🪲 Double Fantasy won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1982. Did you have it on vinyl? 🪲

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026) Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love. We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway. America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.

Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away today at the age of 86. Perhaps best known for his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart spent the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown sharing videos of himself reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Notably, he was once joined by his neighbor’s cat Glenn who appeared unimpressed by Sonnet 40. #cat #catlovers #RIP

A gentler, kinder time, when a soft shoe, and a little Laurel and Hardy magic could make the world feel right again. Step by step, toe by toe, in "Way Out West" Stan and Ollie remind us that sometimes the simplest pleasures are the sweetest.
