As for me, I relate to Revolver being one of the Beatles’ best albums, I would play it over and over in 1966-1967, esp. “Eleanor Rigby” and “For No One”. My parents marriage was falling apart. I was 10…and gay….and frustrated….and angry. I didn’t know how to get angry….or cry….so….

Instead of (or in addition to) diving deep into “…music to compensate for — or perhaps sublimate – their [my] sexual identity[ies]….” I found heavy drugs and alcohol.

That’s why I can’t remember a lot of that period, prior to coming out…and getting sober.

You have quite a gift. I’m not much of a reader anymore, but I will read your book when it is published.
