I just talked with V – she’s upset about how much attention the killer is getting – getting what he wants to some degree – some measure of fame or infamy. What about Glenn? Glenn would love that Rolling Stone is writing a feature on this. It surprised me when I read about their reporters being part of the media frenzy. Beth is from a small town in Missouri where the town bully was shot dead on main street in front of many potential witnesses and no one will turn in the killer, they made a movie (perhaps more than one) about it. She says Playboy had the best article about it, and when she was old enough her father gave it to her to read so that she could understand what had happened. I hope Rolling Stone does their homework and honors Glenn, and of course I am wary of spin and the media in general. When Glenn lived with us he kept a copy of Rolling Stone on his dresser, the issue from the mid-eighties with Aretha Franklin on the cover. He learned a few cords on a guitar and dreamed about fame. Words fail.
