RIP David Lynch

i remember going to the theatre to watch Eraserhead back in the late 70s or early ‘80s. I also remember renting Elephant Man and Blue Velvet on VHS.
What a strange trip those were.
I’m sure they were good….i cannot not forget some of the images. A bit Dada like. Clever art. The imagery and some of the characters are still in my head after all these years.
…I think Lynch really knew his craft and art. His film legacy will be studied along with other greats for sometime well into the future.

Yeah, I agree. And you have to watch them differently. They aren't blockbusters with a plot and a narrative and "what does it all mean, where is this going," they're dreams.
Please love yourself.

In a way, it is a cinematic Dali meets Man Ray.
Am sure Bill Frisell & Friends could do a lasting musical justice to Lynch in a dedicated album. The jazz style would fit perfectly. I would even buy the CD too.

I agree about the musical genre, but not personally familiar with Frisell; great thing to look up over the weekend!

He's definitely worth spending some time with - I discovered him a few years back. There's quite a bit on YT that's worth a watch. He has a much more thoughtful and melodic approach to guitar improv than is typically the case.

This isn't a jazz gateway drug, though, is it? Because I'm going to level with you, I already hang out with a rabbit, read poetry and play D&D on the weekends, my social credit can't really take another hit. I'm at rock bottom here.

lol.
But jazz is cool, maaaahn. You'll recoup some much needed credibility with the ladies. You can also start saying things like 'solid' and using other hip 1950's vernacular. I have an old mohair sweater I could lend you which might help. My kids say I'm outta site, man.
But no, it's not really hardcore jazz. He's dabbled with a few different styles of music.

Frisell’s jazz style is rooted in Delta Blues and Old Timey Country music. Even a bit of Broadway. He can also go way out there along the lines of Eric Dolphy and Jack Dejohnette. In a way he is kind of a musical David Lynch.
Saw him live here some years back at our Jazz Festival. It was a mesmerising concert. Really went strange when Bela Fleck joined him on stage for a prolonged improv.

Just a bit of trivia for you...There is a serious side to Mel Brooks. Brooks is the uncredited Executive Producer for The Elephant Man.

huh, I had no idea! But, I fully believe it. Brooks's ideas were always bigger than his movies in my opinion.
