ANNOUNCEMENT: I've decided to renew the domain and website hosting for another year. Why? The world is a crazy, stressful place. As a Canadian, I can honestly say this past year has been one of the worst in terms of worrying about our livelihoods and national security. It feels as though every day brings something new and things that we took for granted are shifting. It's exhausting. What doesn't stress me out? working on this website, researching and interacting with other fans on Facebook and Instagram. It is a haven. So thanks to all who visit and thanks to Mr. Leon himself for the inspiration and being a bit of a calm in this storm of life.

- New: David's biography is now available for purchase on Amazon. I just bought the Kindle version and it is very strange. Definitely written by AI. Quotes from David himself do not seem legitimate and it talks about him as if his life is over or very nearly so! If AI thinks 45 is old, wow. Just wow. I read it, so you don't have to! Please don't waste your hard earned $$.
