Hey guys, my mistake in saying that the Jools Holland appearance was from 2004. I just double-checked, and it originally aired in November 2003... Sorry!
And yes, when Arthur smiles at the end, it's truly the smile of a guy who knew that his work was deeply appreciated almost 40 years after he'd created it. Most artists never get that chance (would van Gogh have killed himself if he knew he was going to turn out to be "van Gogh", lol?), so from that standpoint it feels really good to see him smile. We're all gonna "go" sometime and very, very few of us will be emotionally moving huge numbers of people long after we're gone (or even while we're alive, for that matter), and so for his sake we can be happy about that.
I also love the reaction of the audience at the end. You can hear one guy shouting "OH YEAH!" It's great, as you can tell that whoever this person is they've really felt the magnitude of such a wonderful performance.
For the time that I've been given's such a little while and the things that I must do consist of more than style....

| This song reminds of Who's We Are Not Going To Take It; the second part of You Set The Scene reminds of "See Me, Feel Me" |

| You know I'm thinking that if there was one song that stood for Love it has to be YSTS. Some may have another. To me, everything they stood for was in there. Just life and living in all their glory. I will be playing it 'til I die kids....;-)... |

I'm happy beyond words that people still find enjoyment in listening to Forever Changes. As you know, Arthur and Bryan were profoundly gifted singers, songwriters and musicians, and the product of their hard work and inspiration is evident in the longevity and timelessness of the album.

Glad you finally saw this, KJ. It's good to read that Michael recognizes LoVE's extremely important place in the history of music. We do too!
