All astrologers should see the wonderful
film Shine featuring the life of musician David Helfgott and later his wife, astrologer
Gillian Helfgott.
In 1996 prior to making the film, the actress, Lynn Redgrave consulted Equinox astrologer and writer
Antony Wilson about playing the part of an astrologer. [It was one of those days when I told
my team that I wouldn't take any more calls or disturbances- do I regret that now]. Nevertheless
whatever Antony said must have been good, because Lynn made an excellent astrologer in the film.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
In May 1997, I saw David play at the Festival Hall in London. He is a natural performer. And it is so
upsetting to hear some music critics (in the UK and USA) disapprove of the technical quality of his work.
Surely great music is in the interpretation and the performance? Otherwise you might as well get a
robot to perform. I have long felt that some critics are those who were never quite good enough
to make the big time. So they are merciless when they come across their equal who has made it.
