I could picture your complete story as a beautiful short film, with a shocking and terrifying ending for such a young boy. Snippets of Capote’s Deep South tales popping up simultaneously on my mind…

I can’t help but wonder what are your reflections on the whole Bad Boy Records affair (we don’t have the full story yet), involving the music industry in general. Clive Davis to Mottola are mentioned, all “allegedly”. Oh, boy! If true, may it collapse down like a house of cards.

A little bit of truth, a lot of supposition, many axes to grind. But I doubt there'll be much collapsing of cards,
