PETER GARRETT, MIDNIGHT OIL AND POET BILLY LAMONT!!!- 8/21/17
"On Monday I heading into nyc to watch the eclipse, pray, meditate and contemplate as editing my new book of poems and to see Midnight Oil perform live. It was TREMENDOUS to see my beloved longtime friend PETER GARRETT and give him a huge hug containing my prayers for him and a brotherly kiss!!!!!!!! I gave Peter Garrett my latest Cd/digital download BEYOND BABYLON (which is in his hands in this photo) and a C.S. Lewis book of poems as well to inspire him! I meant to tell him about my new book of poems coming out soon because Peter Garrett had kindly affirmed me by doing a Cover Blurb for my last book of poems "strobe light generation," but got inspired with two ideas for Midnight Oil for when they do a new album!!! I got sort of overjoyed when Peter Garrett said to everyone, This guy is a GREAT POET," kindly affirming me again after all these years, that also made things get a bit surreal for me and all I could do for a while was bow to Peter Garrett in respect. Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil were in top form and filled with power and passion and are SOOO inspiring and gave a live performance which was one of the most powerful I have ever experienced!!!!!!!!! Love and Life to you, [poet billy lamont]"
Peter Garrett Cover Blurb for Poet Billy Lamont's Strobe Light Generation 2005 Book
"Billy Lamont’s pithy, ‘now’ poetry is true, from his heart to ours- a straight line and a truth that’s good to read. I wish there was more like it."
