What a great entry! I have not but mosdef will watch the film. I always love Cary Grant and find his mother’s story heartbreaking. Somehow similar to John Lennon’s isn’t it?
Thank you, David! Cary's story really resonated with me. I don't know much about John Lennon, but if hardship helps to create creative genius, then these two would be great examples of people using art to rebuild and remake and create a life of consequence.
Oh I think the short story is that John was raised by his aunt with the belief that his mother was dead and his dad had left, when really his mother lived a few blocks away but was deemed irresponsible. The song Mother touches the subject. There is also a beautiful film by Sam Taylor-Wood called “Nowhere Boy” that fictionalized the whole ordeal. Great blog Amy, glad I subscribed:)
My dad had a pair of male orange tabby cats. He was so funny! Dad named them Squeak and Squawk.
