also.... THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING. IT S HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN.
All said with a wry yet glowing full faced smile. He thanked us for braving the awful weather... it was an open air concert... he told us it was an honour to sing to us... he saluted his backing singers and musicians when they sang and played to him, by bowing his head and taking off his hat to them. They looked at him with love... and love shone out of him... a glowing trilby-ed, beautiful faced slight figure of a man, glowing out 30 shades of grey. Quality, power, warmth, humour, beautiful resignation and confidence. Gravity of a lead paper weight.
Easter Island man was supposed to come with me...But his back was too bad. No improvement... I knew when I was in that audience last night that several hundred, if not thousands of them had bad backs. An awful thing to have ... wrecking your life from the centre. The pain is starting to show on his face, please let it lift soon... he will go mad... and I may be revealed as the nastiest, most intolerant partner of all time. Us insecure ones like a smile or two, to tell us we re on the right track... and smiles are impossible for him right now. Another Leonard quote... HERE' S A MAN WHO'SE STILL WORKING FOR YOUR SMILE. So he chases them too.
