Homeland And All Things Maher




The absolute legendary blues man Big Joe Williams showing how it’s done; no fancy equipment, just (to me) to be awed raw human talent. For those interested that is the equally legendary Willie Dixon on standup bass and Williams is playing a 9 string guitar.

 
There’s always that discussion of an actor who’s perfect for a role, no one else could play it…I’m halfway through season 2 of the old Twin Peaks and Agent Cooper could not have been played by anyone other than Kyle MacLachlan.

FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper remains one of the greatest TV characters of all time.

If this is your first go-around with Twin Peaks, you can pretty much skip the second half of Season 2 (it's kinda weird, kinda dreadful) and go straight to the season finale.

It is my first time and I’m 2 episodes past the Laura Palmer reveal and outcome and can tell it’s getting a little hokie, for lack of a better word. I’m gonna stick through it though to the end, watch the movie and the return season.

It’s definitely got soap opera written all over it but done by David Lynch it feels like a homage to, a criticism of, a send up of and an actual representation of a soap opera all wrapped into one. And, of course, it’s weird parts which I do enjoy. Oh, also doesn’t hurt that almost every woman on the show is a knockout. Lynch always had an eye for that.

Oh wow. I'm kind of jealous someone is experiencing this show for the first time.

As Coop said: "I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange."
