I was reading the letters to the editor from Grand Royal Magazine issue #2 and saw this letter.

Adam, Mike, Yauch,
On a serious note, I’m actually writing you three to thank you for your music. I’ve been in one hell of an emotional state since I found out my best friend was transferred to a 24 hr care facility. She’s 22 and dying of cancer. I’ve been watching her mind and body deteriorate for a long time. It’s tearing me apart. The only thing that saved me has been your music. I just want you to know that you have helped someone stay afloat, stay sane. Your music makes me think, feel, laugh, sometimes dance, and altogether makes me feel incredible. Thanx for your time and patience.
Seriously,
Amy “Amos” McMahon
Old Fart, NC

Amos, I’m Glad the music makes you feel good. That’s what it’s all about. Hang in there. Death can bring a great deal of learning. I don’t mean to make light of it, but you might want to check out The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. It’s always good to try to see the positive side of a situation. – Yauch

I have that book too. Probably read that recommendation in GR magazine and went out and bought it. Great book!
