Bryan's '98 letter to Arthur

[silentseason]

Reading that letter I get the sense that Bryan had really made peace with both Arthur and his legacy from Love. It probably had alot to do with his religous outlook, but also maybe from his personal maturity with the passing of time. It is quite uplifting to read, mixed with a tinge of sadness knowing what was to come at the end of 1998.

Einarson's book only briefly touched upon this. I am left wondering what Arthur's feelings were towards Bryan's reaching out, and whether they could have even played together again had circumstances been different. Who knows; that letter could have been the begining of a chain towards a (almost) full band reformation.

I don't know if Bryan had tried something similar with the other members of the band; perhaps when Johnny gets back into the swing of things on the board he and Michael might enlighten us.

good questions...post this in the Ask Michael and Johnny subject--title it "Michael & Johnny: Bryan's letter"...they will weigh in I'm sure.

They don't read this thread (LOVE) so much..mostly just the "ASK..." subject.

cheers!

Will do when appropriate. Sad to know that Kenny wasn't at a peaceful state towards the end of his life. His is perhaps the most tragic in the band. The story of the band as a whole makes the Doors story look like Sunday school in comparison, and look at how much trauma they went through. Really hope the surviving members are doing OK and they know that the price they paid gives them some satisfaction in the end result; the music is alive and well and will forever live on, and nothing can take that away from them.
