It's worth noting that Balthazar Getty is gonna be in the new Twin Peaks. Maybe the two worlds are gonna collide?

Oh man, I'm reading the plot summary right now and this sounds like it's so, so up my alley (I'm a sucker for horror and books that shift perspective a lot/fuck with narrative structure). I know what I'll be reading next!

It's okay. He knows.

I know of people who actually had Prince come to their door to convert them back when he was spending more time in Toronto. In retrospect, I wish I'd asked for more of the story because that sounds fantastic and surreal.

Rhythm Nation 1814 was waaaaaay more influential than it ever gets credit for.

I'm a Zappa fan, but I completely empathize with this point.
