I think this is one of John's best "Journals," packed with acute, often fearless commentary and analysis. I had seen "Jerusalem" when it played in NYC, and now, years later, John's theory about some rottenness at the heart of it makes a terrible sense. His descriptions of meetings at the BBC and of arts administrators at a very nice setting in Austria often verge (verge?) on satire, but as an American in the first weeks of the Trump/Musk Administration, they are also warnings against cowardice and mollycoddling and twitting around.
