Love the New Orleans style jazz. Got really hooked when I watched HBO's Treme (written by the same folks who did The Wire) and have since bought a number of CD's. In NYC, you can hear it at one of the Honk Band shows. They make you think you are in New Orleans listening to street music.

Loved Treme ! Fantastic show ! That’s how we originally found out about Kermit Ruffins and went to go see him and his band play at this bar bullets which is like under a house. The area not so good a long time ago the cab driver didn’t even want to drive us there. We get there way early and ended up drinking a bunch of beers with Kermit outside his pickup truck . Super cool dude

His group back when we saw them were called the bbq swingers. They actually cooked bbq before the show for everyone who wanted. That food was freaking soooooooo good. The bar only held like 100 people. White Chocolate left with full stomach and a lot of new friends from Nola who couldn't believe we showed up and stayed till almost closing

Wow, just finished the last episode of the original Twin Peaks series and it’s so strange, even for Lynch, but somehow made complete sense. The one thing I’m left wondering, is how was this shown on network tv in 1991?? The ending is pretty damned disturbing for anything, let alone network tv back then.
The series as a whole really took a bit of a dive after the original problem was resolved, totally dwelving into soap opera territory but a nice pay off in the last two episodes. Incredible acting by MacLachlan.
Onto Fire Walk With Me and then The Return.

I watched the finale live in 1991 when I was 15.
You have to remember, Twin Peaks was relegated to the scrap heap by then. Never did a show with such hype come crashing down so fast. After Laura's killer was revealed, ratings plummeted and ABC started airing it on SATURDAY night. It was purgatory for prime-time TV. I don't think anyone at ABC gave a shit anymore and Lynch just went wild at the end.
As a diehard, I stuck with it only to be rewarded with the most depressing ending of all time. The book was closed on Coop. Until the Return.
