Alyson Haley posts blogs in all aspects of life and ties in a specific significant song(s), deeply related to the topic. One post featured has Glen's Try a Little Kindness tied into 2 suicides. Her friend's 18 year daughter Holly and Caroline Flack, Britain's successful tv presenter & host of UK reality show Love Island. The story of both are listed and how it ties in with Glen's song towards middle, with mp3 to listen. Great story of Holly on why a rainbow colored bench is placed in front of her grave with #BeKind.

Excellent reading Mike...I had never seen those before.

From NPR music: Matt Sweeney, guitarist of Skunk, Chavez, and supergroup Zwan, references how Glen made him a pro guitar player. Not sure how common this is, but I found it interesting:

Excellent detailed and lengthy story to be read of what actually took place behind the scenes (good and bad) in putting together & airing of The Goodtime Hour.
