I lived through books and also the soundtrack albums of all the great Broadway musicals (and maybe I still do). While I was in college, I worked in the periodicals department of our college library. My biggest memory of that 4 year experience was the summer Elvis died. My mom had a friend who was a huge Elvis fan. When he died, every paper in the U.S. had stories and pictures about his life. I waited for the day when the papers would be tossed and the microfilm ordered to replace them. I clipped every Elvis story and picture and sent them off in a box to my mom's friend in South Dakota. Her husband called saying she was experiencing Nirvana. Working in periodicals can be enlightening in a Buddhist sort of way.
