It’s family, and it’s faith, and it’s friends, and it’s not the glamour of the Presidency, or the wonder of going to receive the Nobel Prize. All those are important, of course. But maybe it’s just that I’m 71 years old now. It’s family, and it’s faith, and it’s friends.
As a great songwriter.
With an international holiday.
As a man who tried to respect everyone, treating them with a smile and with due regard, despite the limitations of being human.
