I'm not in the mood to say much Mark but that I enjoyed your essay. Great tie-in between
the Beach Boys and Coleridge. I've always found something unfinished in both of them, especially The Great Khan and Smile. I actually had a friend years ago who seemed to be waiting his whole life for Brian Wilson to re-issue Smile complete. I'm sure when he was 50 and it actually did show up at the HMV in Hamilton he must have been happier than a pig in shit. But maybe disappointed too, as isn't the waiting more of a religious expectation than the actual arrival of the thing? I liked the photo of your oldest daughter at the end, though for some reason it feels a little self-conscious? Though maybe she was eyeing something the cat was playing with or the sound of a horn across the street..who knows? But maybe that's just me...and who could be more self conscious than a man staring at a fly on his ceiling for Christ's sake!?
