Ricky, I love your unique perspective and review of Joan Didion and The White Album, and even more so that it came from musings at 3:57am (often the time when creative inspiration strikes for me too) against a soundtrack of Fleetwood Mac! I'm so intrigued by the extract of the "underwhelming emergency" in Hawaii you highlighted as well, especially how our perception of a place is an evolving mirror of our inner landscape. The way you've contemplated her thought and creative process is so brilliantly textured, and it reminds me of every generation's ever-present need to cultivate the capacity for countercultural thought, analysis and movements. Thanks for sharing your reflections!
It’s my pleasure, Ricky! I appreciate all the effort and thought you put into writing this too - it definitely opens up so much to contemplate and reflect on!
