Nice post, Will. The Beatles days carry a lot of memories for me so this was an interesting alternative view of John Lennon. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Yasmin. I really appreciated Mr. Richter's first-hand reminiscences about three icons. Talking to him gave me a more three dimensional view of them as complex humans.

This has been the best lunar rabbit hole to fall down...it's fascinating to hear about Kubrick and has reignited my fascination with him as an artist and filmmaker. What a wonderful read. Looking forward to the next moon post (and happy new moon!)

This is brilliant and the especially timely considering Greta Gerwig just used the opening sequence in 2001 to kick off the biggest film in the world right now, albeit with dolls. Well done Will!

Thanks, Ross. I had no idea Barbie has a 2001 homage. Perfect synchronicity!

Thanks! It was almost six years ago, but there's no statute of limitations on literary ostentation.
