What I read about Peter Green is that he
died in his sleep. As he was plagued by

heavy drug use and mental illness most

of his adult life, it is a blessing that he 
passed of natural causes

[BeatleloverKT]

I watched two shows of note this

weekend. First was Rocketman,

which I liked. I also watched “The

making of wish you were here“ a
2012 documentary with interviews

with the band members. It delved
into how Syd Barretts decent into

mental illness affected them and

still does today. Excellent program

[MaVolta]

@BeatleloverKT  -  I look forward to seeing Rocketman.  There is also a docu-interview with Sir Elton from 2019 after the book and movie had been released. It was on Amazon Prime and lasts about an hour. 

I also watched the "WYWH" documentary, and thought it was very well done.
