I saw a PBS special today with co host Michelle. To start,I remember the Mama's & Papa's very well. I was born in July 1960. I remember the music and the TV shows from around 65 on. It brought up a lot of memories and before I knew it I was in tears. Those were good days. But I must say I was really put off with the story. But I must say I understand it. Being a dude I would have had the hots for Michelle too. That caused a lot of problems for many lives and careers just like Yoko did for the Beatles. It is sad. Michelle had that look that was enchanting. For guys like me I would just had to try. I dated a girl with looks much like hers and that enchanting magic. Wow what they did in 2.5 years together. It was sex, drugs & rock & Roll. Just plain old dysfunction. I was 14 when we lost Cass. I was sad. I remember. She reminded me of my Aunt. She sang a lot like her and was about her weight. She cut a few records that she sang in church. If then was now I would have got her to do some rock. Oh well I was young. I got into the radio business that took me from El Paso, TX. Alabama, to NYC. I saw a lot. Being backstage and the after the concert parties at hotels. Man, it didn't change much from what I read. To sum it up..for me. just my opinion. I think God gives us each a gift. It is up top us to use it. God wants us to use it. It is a ride. Or just plain life. It seemed like a all of these people had gifts and tried to use them. I guess money, drugs and a woman that haunts can wipe you out very fast. It has been done to me 3 times. I went for the 4th and got the woman God wants me to have. I can do no wrong. WOW where was she? I just wasn't ready till now. I hope I will be able to find what my gift is. I thought I knew but I think I am wrong. Hopefully I will have a second chance at all of life. I sure have found the right woman. Thanks for the memories.. Ok I am rambling. I just love the music and the producing that was done. The music lives on to this day. Only one left. It is sad. I guess I sound crazy. maybe I am. I just wanted to say I enjoyed the music and the times. The story hit home with me. I related to it all. Time goes by and it is over. It made me think again..Life I so short. We must use our gift and be happy. I just hope when my time comes I will die as happy as Cass did. Michelle, after seeing you today I think you have been through a lot and have got rid of all that dysfunction and garbage. Living that life that you always wanted. Better late than never huh? If we could only go back.... You seemed wiser now. Time really makes us up!Just wished it would happen sooner but we all have lessons to learn and some are learned too late. I'll shut up now. Good luck and thanks for letting me write!
