Thank you for your kind words Francisco. Because I write for a living (I’m an academic), on Medium I want to write for fun and self-expression. If it ever becomes a chore, I’ll have to hang up my Medium writing shoes. What was great about this essay is that I was able to share it with some people who were there with me in the 90s. They appreciated the way tunes of the day are threaded through the narrative. Thanks for pointing me to your stuff – I’ll certainly have a read!
