I've really been rocked by this loss, much more than I anticipated. Obviously David Lynch was a major artist--some of his films mean a great deal to me--but he was also an articulate advocate for personal art and in every which way a fantastic human being. Those familiar only with his movies might be surprised to discover that the artist behind that strange, abrasive content was in real life the (slightly off-kilter) Guy Next Door, a big softie, a generous spirit who loved people and loved being kind. I think this loss hits me harder than most "celebrity" deaths because he's been a constant presence in my life for 35 years and deep down I may have adored the man even more than I adored the movies.

 

Anyway, a few days ago I decided to watch a few choice scenes from Mulholland Drive and ended up watching the whole damn thing. And now I'm rewatching Twin Peaks from the start (I haven't seen the first two seasons since they originally aired!) and even though it's been two weeks I can't stop looking up fun David Lynch videos on YouTube, including his hilarious L.A. weather reports from the lockdown era.
