the LP ABC, Motown Records, 1970Sad to hear of the passing of Gary Coleman earlier this week, particularly considering the tumultuous scenes which defined the latter part of his life, though his story is truly an American tale. He was often quoted saying that he wished he had never become famous, although one does have to wonder if it’s that simple---perhaps the more difficult journey comes once that fame has passed you by, although I admit that the idea of having cameras in your face, in perpetuity, would be enough to drive one nuts. I hope he was able to find some peace before he died.
