Like a bird on the wire,

I have tried in my way to be free.
... and for my sweetest baby child, on the day she was born: (get your magnifying glass) I actually bought this...

Beauty left us, not once but twice for that song, but I feel blessed even though it was a very bad year. I have loved Marilyn Monroe all my life, and Princess Diana when we knew her.
Not to be morbid, but I can never forget that year, while others are less remarkable. We also lost Denver Pyle (Dukes of Hazzard), Pat Paulsen, Brian Keith, Robert Mitchum, Jacques Cousteau, Gianni Versace (that fashion designer), Red Skelton, Mother Teresa (of course - big news), John Denver (miss you bro), Michael Hutchence (INXS & God Bless You), Nicolette Larson- sweet angel voice, and last but not least Michael Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy, on December 31.
Since this is about music, looking on the brighter side, we will always have John Denver, Nicolette Larson and Michael 'Immortal' Hutchence.
And here's a song that just nails this topic of birth from Nicolette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOdBDatm3yM&feature=related as if this one didn't already do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnPtTOX6DLo&feature=related
