See the map below. If Putin can control the Northwest Passage he can take control of global commerce from the Western allies. That would require them to secure the Davis Strait, the narrowest part between Canada and Greenland. This is why Trump has been pushing this agenda for Putin.

I'm thinking the first addition of the epic novel, The King of MO! An Autobiography of a Dream, would be a digital "Gutenberg Edition" with duplex e-Ink screens, hand writing, and full MO!verse integration. Engineered for Imagineering.

Phil Spector was one odd bird. This is clearly photoshopped, but it's surprisingly close to the actual wig. In the epic novel, The King of MO!, Spector works for the Quantum Dark Sector using his Wall-o-Sound to seduce musicians.

Jimi stayed at the Chelsea Hotel frequently. Devon Wilson, a former girlfriend, “plunged to her death out of a ninth-floor window at the Chelsea,” she was so distraught about his death. Their spirits reanimate in the epic novel, The King of MO! An Autobiography of a Dream.
