Good morning & enjoy the weekend!

In Goodfellas, the scenes where Henry is followed by helicopters captured the paranoia of being strung out on coke so well, that Ray Liotta said ex-cocaine users told him they watch that sequence whenever they feel tempted to relapse. He explained: "For some reason, people who have experienced that kind of lifestyle, that really gets them. I actually had people come up to me and say that they had trouble with Coke and any time they got a little tempted, they would turn on that scene there because that paranoia just brought them back to a certain state that they would rather forget, and it was enough to stop them." Quote comes from the commentary track off the Goodfellas' DVD

My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning. Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd. His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money. He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd. Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.

A new day and a new life...🅛

We lack the courage of our romantic convictions; and thereby miss the wine of life, forgoing the very thing that makes living worthwhile.

Performance without talent is a waste of time! Performative people may deceive the posers but they’ll never cross the edge of being really genuine.
