Beautiful tribute. @glenmatlock.bsky.social Glen - is that you and your band? My heart has been so busted up over Clem, I can only imagine how yours is. What a gift that you guys got to be a rhythm section together. And that I got to see and hear you together - head bob, solid, groove forever ๐ช๐พ๐๐ช๐พ๐โก๏ธ

Really love you guys, Chris and Debbie @blondieband.bsky.social . My heart really has been going out to you every day at this time, and I really am so sorry for the loss of your band brother. Somehow mine breaks as if I lost a brother too. All my love to you ๐๐คโค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐๐โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ

Ad is completely priceless. About how long after the ad would this photo have been? How long was Clem in the band before he brought Gary in too? @garylachman.bsky.social

Oh wow - itโs incredible - and SO Keith Moon like - he must have seen that in that pic and loved that. I just canโt even conceive it yetโฆ just so sadโฆ truly, as weird as it may sound, I felt like he was my band brother โฆ I learned drums from him, playing along as a kid (trying to at least) ๐๐๐พ๐ญโก๏ธโจ

Barbara, is that Clem, or one of his favorite photos of Keith?

๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ Oh Gary, Iโm heartbroken with you. I had worried about him as he wasnโt posting but had hoped he was just taking a break or was boycotting x. His silence during the LA fires especially made me wonder. Truly somehow I feel I lost a brother, so profound his influence and yours too. ๐ญ๐

Great photos of Clem - guessing you took them? Where are they? Oh Chris, Iโm so sorry and Iโm so sad with you ๐ญ๐. But yes. He lived his dream. And he inspired millions of others - me included, to pursue our dreams, or at very least to just rock out a bit. His energy is electric โก๏ธ and is still โก๏ธ

๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ Iโm heartbroken with you, Chris. Listening countless hours as a kid, I learned music from you guys - somehow I realize even think of you as band brothers in some weird but real way. You and he changed the world for the better and continue to do so. Iโm so sorry. He and Akira are shining on โก๏ธโญ๏ธโก๏ธ

Do you know if in some cultures, NDEs are mainstream? Itโs surprising to me that even after Raymond Moodyโs 1975 bestseller, and given that we all will die, NDEs still arenโt mainstream in our culture. Sounds like you already have a queue of books to write for your publisher โฆ but maybe add NDE?

Great article, Gary! Thanks so much for sharing. Your depth and breadth of research and recall never cease to amaze! Plus in your interview I was delighted hearing that music muscle memory kicked right back in when you played Blondie tunes a couple years ago. Your writing is a gift to us - thanks!

Gary - have you ever considered interviewing / collaborating with near death experiencers or those who study them? For ex Dr Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon who had an NDE or Dr Bruce Greyson who has studied NDEs 40+ years?

Brilliant podcast! Where to begin? From synchronicity to reality of being - through time - just this past week met an archeologist and learned of Native American and civil war life and death stories in my neighborhood. And the terror of politics these days - chilling. Yes there is meaning.

Ps my takeaway list pales compared to all the insightful discussion. And this doesnโt quite match your hedgehog anecdote but thought it might bring a smile (not sure who artist is)

Loved this so much, Gary - thanks for posting! I need to listen again and need to write down dreams - perhaps Iโll remember them better in doing so. From Musk to Mars to the surprising sun during lockdown to the ancientsโ quote about the creativity within us. Rich, poignant, and so appreciated ๐๐พ
