Barbara - does Chris know what time period or venue this was? โ€ฆ could it have even been Clem as a teen pre-Blondie?

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 ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜Žโšก๏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.

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

Love this, Chris. I continue to feel so gutted and sad, and can only imagine how you feel. Iโ€™m sorry for your loss of him here.

Very cool photo, angle, glimpse at what must have been an exciting time.
comment in response to post
Oh wow - itโ€™s incredible - and SO Keith Moon like - he must have seen that in that pic and loved that. I just canโ€™t even conceive it yetโ€ฆ just so sadโ€ฆ truly, as weird as it may sound, I felt like he was my band brother โ€ฆ I learned drums from him, playing along as a kid (trying to at least) ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜ญโšก๏ธโœจ

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

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’” Oh Gary, Iโ€™m heartbroken with you. I had worried about him as he wasnโ€™t posting but had hoped he was just taking a break or was boycotting x.

Great photos of Clem - guessing you took them? Where are they? Oh Chris, Iโ€™m so sorry and Iโ€™m so sad with you ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”. 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 โšก๏ธ and is still โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’” Iโ€™m 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.

Do you know if in some cultures, NDEs are mainstream? Itโ€™s surprising to me that even after Raymond Moodyโ€™s 1975 bestseller, and given that we all will die, NDEs still arenโ€™t mainstream in our culture. Sounds like you already have a queue of books to write for your publisher โ€ฆ but maybe add NDE?
comment in response to post
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!

๐Ÿ˜ณ !! Meanwhile, I think of the brilliance of engineering - the cumulative knowledge, human, and mechanical energy that builds bridges and satellites and cell phones. And yet, here we find ourselves โ€ฆ โ€œrealty up for grabsโ€ and lemmings hand it to a psychopath.
comment in response to post
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?
comment in response to post
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 doesnโ€™t quite match your hedgehog anecdote but thought it might bring a smile (not sure who artist is)
comment in response to post
Loved this so much, Gary - thanks for posting! I need to listen again and need to write down dreams - perhaps Iโ€™ll 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 ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

Better recent D-442 door pic! Debbie - do you know if Clem was affected by the LA fires?
comment in response to post
Great song! Recent pics of my 1st apt in DC - looks fancier now. Hey Debbie - think you can get Clem to come over to BlueSky?

Hey Chris - think you could get Clem to come over to BlueSky?
comment in response to post
Very cool, Gary! Any idea if it will be recorded / available to see online? Also any word yet from Clem since the fires, and think heโ€™d come over to BlueSky?
