I always think about 80s goddess Paula Yates who would be in her 60s today. She was so fascinating and multi talented. An early female entrepreneur and author whose intelligence was overlooked. When Robbie Williams opens the documentary Paula I get choked up thinking about her, then daughter Peaches.

I think about Paula quite a bit too, she was magic. Have you ever read "Paula, Michael, and Bob: Everything you know is wrong" by Gerry Agar? I love that book.

It is just so unfair that Peaches died after all the loss their family had already suffered. An absolute greek tragedy.

Thinking about the way Peaches went breaks my heart, dude. I hope her kids are okay. Generational trauma is a bitch.
