The Kubler-Ross Model of the Death of Rock and Roll


Public places. You should always meet in public places. Furthermore, those public places should be populous, but not so populous as to be overcrowded. Do not meet at Dundas and Spadina. That is not the best option for you, as you find the sight of bodies in a window painful. Meet, instead, further South on Spadina or, far better, on Queen. There you will be carrying a book, wearing a necklace of blue and green glass, and pondering the purchase of a paper lantern. The Buddha on your wrist and the one in your purse wink at the Buddhas in the store windows, and you wonder how many Buddhas have been missed, lost, or forgotten. You don't know it, but your heart is about to break.
