The Tragic Cost

January 21, 2022

The genius of Robin Williams,

the prescience of Harry Nilsson

The magic of Brian Wilson,

the artistry of Nina Simone

Celebrity robbed them of their greatest gift,

the most treasured one of all

To live at peace within themselves

—a normal life recalled

(The New Room: January, 2022)
