The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet - The Legendary Sessions.
Bag of shite !!!!
Thought it was gonna be all about '68 sessions for Beggars Banquet (as you would !!!) but it flits about all over the freakin place from early '60's to 70's !!!!!  
I will finish it but fuck.........talk about a misleading title !!!!

I'm about half way thru 'The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly'
Pretty good read so far. It's a memoir by a guy who was completely paralyzed following a stroke and could only communicate by blinking one eye. Amazingly he managed to dictate the entire book this way! and he's not as depressive as you'd imagine someone in such a state to be.

Yeah it came out in the last year or so i think. Directed by Julian Schnabel, who also did the 'Basquiat' biography film.

Many believe that the dawning Age of Light or Age of Consciousness defines itself in relation to our capacity for unconditional love, our ability to transcend enemy patterning and victim consciousness while adopting unity consciousness that sees divinity in all things.
