@josephconrad_ it’s not 1979. Ronald Reagan was shot, for starters. or was that 1981? my point is, childhood sucks. – 02:14 AM GMT
@josephconrad_ to be clear, at the time, Ronnie taking a bullet was a total highlight. The Lennon thing right after sort of altered that. – 02:17 AM GMT

Read a recent take Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive” that generously posited J’s vampires as white culture preying on brown – 01:24 AM GMT
Too deep a reading, I think. Today, a friend posted this. m.youtube.com/​watch?v=erLTbN… – 01:25 AM GMT
That’s Panther Burns covering Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love”. Featured lead man? Alex Chilton. – 01:26 AM GMT
“Funnel” opens Jarmusch’s film, beautifully and memorably. Around Xmas, I got into a discussion of the movie with a NOLA-based friend. – 01:28 AM GMT
We were both somewhat puzzled by the Detroit setting. I just figured Anne Rice had NOLA locked up for vampire stories. – 01:29 AM GMT
