An exclusive extract from his memoir • Read an interview with Willie Nelson here Longevity is a blessing and also a burden. A blessing because you get to hang around to see your grandkids and maybe even your great-grandkids. But a burden because every day it seems like another friend has passed. Grieving becomes a full-time job. The last man standing can be lonely. Loss is something you don’t get over. That idea hit me hard when a friend’s wife died and he came to me for comfort. He saw me as a guy who might understand. The thing I know most, I told him, especially after my son Billy died in 1991, aged 33, is that you don’t get over it, but you will get through it. Best I can do is write a song. Continue reading...

Chilean director of films including Gloria and A Fantastic Woman could expertly capture both the personal and political Sebastián Lelio, director of A Fantastic Woman and Gloria, dies aged 52 The last 20 years have seen an amazing flowering of creativity from Chilean film-makers. The standard bearers of the Novisimo Cine Chileno , or New Chilean Cinema, have included Pablo Larraín, Patricio Guzmán (who sadly died this year) and Sebastián Silva, directors who brought to global audiences news of what it has been like in their country to have submitted to Augusto Pinochet’s rule, a tinpot tyranny encouraged and enabled by the United States as an acceptable alternative to communism. They were able to emerge from that rule into a kind of prosperous democratic normality in which their buried trauma and guilt still swirled around in their collective unconscious.
