That's why there's an empty chair at the table in Almost Famous.

It's kind of a little message to those of us who were at the table that somebody can have exited but still be there so clearly and passionately still there in your life.

Yeah, the empty chair was her, is her still.

and did the work to find all the clues she left behind.

She lives and we get to talk about her and her message resonates through the decades.

It's amazing.
