An Open Letter From Robert Aragon
Posted by sean in Events, Latest News on November 10th, 2009
Dear Friends of FM,
As many of you know, I am an aficionado of classic horror films. My imagination was weaned on Karloff, Lugosi, Chaney and well, the original run of Famous Monsters of Filmland, created by Forrest J Ackerman.
As a child, I never dreamt one could live a life where the indulgence of imagination is not only encouraged but rewarded. Dreams do come true, no question about that.
Unfortunately, all things have a price. All the responsibilities and commitments as a member of the New FM are rather taxing on me, as I have a medical condition which has recently resurfaced. I expect to make a full recovery, but to do so, I must devote most of my time and energy towards healing – plus plenty of classical piano playing. Music is food for the soul (good music, that is!).
As an artist and man, I am not able to compromise the quality and integrity of my work. Suffice it to say, my contributions to FM must be of a limited nature. I shall continue working with my dear friend and brother Philip Kim, but in what capacity? Only time will tell.
One thing I have learned from the classic tales of imagination is: the future is a mysterious realm full of unimaginable possibilities.
As always, I send you hugs and love,
Me
AKA Robert Aragon
