To me, one of the best lessons we could learn from David Lynch is to stop demanding explanations of every piece of art from the artist who made it and instead let the art talk and decide what it means individually to you. What a richer way to experience the world.

good morning! the radio release of Radiohead's "Creep" is closer to the assassination of John F Kennedy than it it is to today. Yes, that's right, time is relentless and we're all slouching inexorably towards death! 👍
