I love Greogory's music and as much as he has played an important musical role in my past, I find myself listening to him on repeat as I sit in cafés and write. I found these images from a day at his house during the pandemic and realized I'd never posted them. One of the themes that has dug its way into this book is music and lyrics, like a soundtrack of my history and many identities. I didn’t ever see that coming when I decided to write out my life. Most of us remember our first album or our family soundtrack. My dad had a big collection of vinyl that was mostly classic rock and classical music and I remember the sound of the needle underneath the Beatles 1962-66. My first album was @metallica And Justice For All. I bought it in 1989 when I was eight. Satanic Panic was at its peak and I'm certain mom thought I was going to end up worshipping the devil. On some level she was right. We all worship our own devils, we just call them by different names. Until I started writing, I didn't understand the profound impact music, and especially lyrics, had on me...How I found the right poetry at the right times. I've never understood musical composition, but I love the words. It's common for me to find myself crying to songs that bring me back to a moment of heartbreak or when I was the hero of my own movie. As I've gotten older, I've been incredibly lucky to spend time with some of the musicians I love most. I listen to Gregory's lyrics over and over and try to dissect and understand songwriting. It is one of the most unique and special forms of storytelling and I think everyone who writes can learn from its nuance and brevity. I owe deep thanks to all the musicians that have filled my life. That list is long and far more complete in the book. But today, I'll just say thanks Greogory.
