seemed appropriate even then :)
The new Twin Peaks was some of the trippiest TV I've ever seen. :)
i had mentioned that before awhile back.
i haven't seen the final episode yet.
But i will. Some really far out shit.
But i like it. Harry Dean was in one too.
had to have your say didn't you?
sit down now.

### - not trying to start a fight here or anything (who me?? :)))
but 'soap operas' like these... literally bore me to tears?
aliens?? - archie bunker Vs. the aliens episode?!?!
riiiiight... :)
pure, mind-numbing... drivel, expensively made! (heh :)

"the things you think are precious i can't understand..."
Speaking of dreaming, I had one of those weird experiences again where
I got up in the middle of the night and walked all around my house,
just making sure everything was normal and secure, the entire time
fully believing I was wide awake, with everything seeming completely
normal and real, until I went to get back into my bed, when I suddenly realized I was already in bed, and dreaming, and right then I woke up. :)
In the old days, when I experienced similar situations fairly often,
I usually (but not always) somehow realized I was dreaming soon after initiating one of 'those' sequences, but it seems I'm getting slower
as I age. Or maybe it just takes me unaware more often now because
I seldom try to do 'dreaming'.

You bore me to tears. Not literally. I'm not crying.
Yes, Twin Peaks is 'a bunch of crap'. But as anyone who's smoked a
joint and watched one of the better episodes knows, it's *super* trippy.
Not at all a 'soap opera' or 'mind numbing'; it's more mind-bending, especially if you're high. :)

Your opinions are often drivel, and that one's certainly no exception.
How about we look at a different opinion? This culture group below
picked it as the best show on television.
http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/vulture-tv-awards-best-show-twin-peaks-the-return.html
Excerpts:
No matter how intimately you thought you’d become attuned to Lynch
and Frost’s wavelength, there were still moments where you sat there
gaping at the screen thinking, “What the hell did I just see,
and what am I supposed to make of it?”
(Yep.)
"Twin Peaks: The Return — the Showtime reboot of the Lynch series — didn’t just exceed its progenitor’s what-the-fuck quotient right out
of the gate; as it meanders through a series of daringly protected,
often mysterious scenes, the show seems determined to destroy any preconceptions we had about what another Twin Peaks would look like,
or even what post–Twin Peaks television could aspire to be."
(Yep. To me, it was sort of like imagining what being sucked
into 'parallel universes' might be like...)
"Twin Peaks: The Return is a masterpiece. Books will eventually be
devoted to explaining why this is; each will examine the series from
a different, specific angle, and come to different conclusions about
what it’s showing us and telling us. The series speaks in the language
of dreams, and we interpret the sentences and pictograms differently depending on our life experience and worldview."
(That sums it up fairly well. Watching the new season of the show,
you can easily end up feeling like you're in a dream or something,
especially if you get high first before watching.)
Super trippy crap. :) Several moments in the series seemed... unique.
A few were disturbing.
One of the more touching sequences in the new episodes was how Lynch
recorded two actors who died before the new series was finished,
and actually worked in a scene where one of these people was dying
in the script itself. That was cool.
David Bowie makes an after-death cameo as well. :)

'should' being the appropriate term there...
maybe it (your own sub...) was calling to you! :)

You'll even try to make an argument out of "reality vs. fiction".
Geez.

If you read the article I just posted, they are of the opinion
that Lynch really took it to a new level. So am I.
but why just 'imagine' it when you can experience the real/actual thing?
i.e., being directly pulled/zoomed into a WILD is quite an exhilarating
experience!

Watching TV is a part of real life, just as is dreaming. Duh.
One of the more touching sequences in the new episodes was how Lynch
recorded two actors who died before the new series was finished,
and actually worked in a scene where one of these people was dying
in the script itself. That was cool.

### - dug him up special did they? just to boost their audience?? it

David Bowie was IN the original Twin Peaks (at least, he was in the
1992 Twin Peaks movie). So it fit, and was fun.
Not nearly as cool as the weird woman who 'died' on screen in an episode,
as she had died in reality. That was cool, and moving.

It really means little to me. I did it so many times in the old days.
It's more just a novelty than anything else.

Here's one I like with the same name and concept.
I first saw her play it live in Santa Monica.
Eliza Gilkyson - The Party's Over

But you know, the party's still going... :)
Gilmour just finished his 'Live at Pompeii' thing a few days ago.
One Of These Days:

Still, everyone should know how to fill in this blank:

Waters finished his Trump trashin' tour. Good man.
This is the latest thing he's done that I really like.
Wait For Her:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSl1kmQMG2E

Esperanza Spalding just finished an impromptu album, 'Exposure',
10 songs created in one marathon 77 hour session, live on Facebook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAOezi2Ea0k&list=RDpAOezi2Ea0k&t=47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h3beP2auUo
I don't know what the new album is like. I didn't order it. :)
Esperanza plays for Obama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQtXo4tiZxs&index=2&list=RDpAOezi2Ea0k

The Grateful Dead documentary 'Long Strange Trip' on Amazon is
the best documentary ever made about that band, and one of the
best rock documentaries ever.
Here are 3 of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack you can download.
'Dear Mr. Fantasy' isn't theirs, but it's a super cool version. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ajcidd0db2qgivo/AABv5Alm0oxxm0ewgdhJFMOqa?dl=0
And 'Althea' and 'Days Between' are Dead masterpieces, imo.
***
The new Twin Peaks was some of the trippiest TV I've ever seen. :)
Wtf, here's the entire soundtrack for download, both discs: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ua9tiuzm3nds8p0/AACpqSvNpXr_1FJdzBWm0Bnqa?dl=0
Some of my favs are: Tarifa, She's Gone Away, No Stars, Out Of Sand,
and The World Spins.
