   Wow!!! This was some trip. Very emotional at times too. I think I need a lie down after this

   Hahahaha!
   Yeah Matt, lay down for a while.
   Then get up and get back into that Cycle Of Life.
   That was an epic topic I chose.
   And emotional was what I was aiming at.
   Did I succeed?
   Maybe with a great listener like you!
   Thanks for writing,
   Mike

   What a great series Mike. Please feel free to post the Financial Crisis series on Classic Rock Bottom. That’s the next one I want to tackle.

   “And When I Die” by Blood, Sweat and Tears was cool. Same with “Til I Die” by The Beach Boys”.

   Clapton’s “Tears In Heaven” is extremely sad, and I can say that loosing a child must be the most difficult thing on earth to endure. I pray that I never have to face that. But on a brighter note, Mr. Clapton has a new album out. I just bought it yesterday but have not listened to it as of yet.

   My favorite song you played today was new to me, and that’s “Lost Another One” by Graham Nash. That is one tremendous song. And the fact that it’s about the death of George Harrison made me think of another song that would have fit there nicely, “Empty Garden” by Elton John. Of course, that made me think of “Candle In The Wind” by Elton John, which amazingly, has been a hit in 3 different decades.

   I’m officially finished with the Cycle Of Life (hopefully just the show, not the real thing).

   Dear RJ,
   See, now you call it a great series, and I felt the same way.
   So you can understand my disappointment that it was not greeted by and with more listeners/
   It was the beginning of my thinking that doing what I thought was epic just wasn’t worth it any more.
   People didn’t care about “thinking”, it was too much of a chore.
   But I’ve made peace with that, and I’ll take the handful of people who like what I do over any larger audience.
   I won’t change!
   “And When I Die” by Blood, Sweat and Tears and “Til I Die” by The Beach Boys” were good choices, and glad you dug them.
   Clapton’s “Tears In Heaven” is unimaginably sad to me.
   I agree that it must be the most painful thing a parent can experience, losing a child, when in the normal course of life parents are supposed to go first.
   I am sure he would have gladly switched places.
   I haven’t heard the new album by him, so that makes two of us.
   I am real pleased to have introduced you to “Lost Another One” by Graham Nash- another song that fell through the cracks in today’s radio shame.
   I have repeatedly acknowledged George & John’s passing over the years- and they too are available for listening at WLSO.
   I would think I have played “Empty Garden” by Elton John.
   I call Elton John the Official Mourner of Rock & Roll, lol!

   I’m officially finished with the Cycle Of Life (hopefully just the show, not the real thing).

   Whew, glad to hear that!
   Wouldn’t want to lose my best listener, lol!
   Keep cycling my friend,
   Mike
