Just gonna say that Depeche Mode is the greatest synth-rock band that ever was. I still muck around at soundchecks playing the bass lines to "Enjoy The Silence" and "Policy Of Truth" through my dust-blower 15" speaker cabs.
I also was wary of TLOU from my Walking Dead experience (Watch Denny Duquette play wiffle ball with some kid's face again? Hard. Pass.), but this series delivered. The Bill & Frank ep was one of the most beautiful stand alone episodes of television I've seen. As I watched, I kept saying "If you do something bad to Nick Offerman, I will drive to HBO and set your damn offices on fire" because that's how TV works..I guess? So, yes, agree with all of this 100%! I couldn't quite put my finger on why that song was so lovely and poignant for that episode, but I think the Rondstadt music choice had a lot to do with it. Like Dolly Parton, I think she speaks to many communities in the way that her music and her whole sensibility is so relatable and accessible. For me, my first stand out introduction to LR was Blue Bayou on The Muppet Show. Chef's. Kiss. :)
Blue Bayouuuu! So beautiful too. LR is a goddess as is Queen Dolly. Absolutely heroes in every sense of the word. You're right about their backgrounds really lend poignancy and heartache to their music.
Speaking of Muppets and musicals! It's so cray - I have a very cool connection to The Muppets movie. When I was in high school I was a wannabe theater kid, but I was on the lighting crew for all the musicals we had, didn't have the guts to actually be on stage. Our director for all our shows was an actor in that movie, he's listed right after Paul Williams on IMDb I believe. Anyway thanks to him I really got into songs like Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In from Hair, and now I can sing you any song from The King and I forwards and backwards. ☺️ RIP Larry Gabriel ❤️
Wow!! That is an amazing connection to TMM!!! You are lucky! Jim Henson is one of my heroes & creative influences. He was a shaman of some kind-no doubt! I say-get out on the stage, kid! It’s never too late! Just look at Moira Rose!!! 😉
One day!! I did majorly throw down at karaoke at my friend's bar in Houston back in February. It was A Little Respect by Erasure and ofc The Greatest Love of All, I mean if you don't attempt Whitney Houston then what is even the point of doing karaoke at all am I right?!
