By early 2007, I had been sick with the disease now officially called “ME/CFS” for more than a decade. I was in bed and comatose almost all of the time and seemed to be getting sicker and sicker by the minute.
It was at this time that I first listened to the soundtrack for the Broadway musical “Grey Gardens.” The show is based on the famous documentary movie of the same name, and depicts two impoverished but formerly upper-crust relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who lived reclusively from the 1950’s to the 1970’s in a falling-apart mansion in the exclusive vacation community of East Hampton, NY.
