...four days shy of his 77th Bday...
I wasn't expecting David Lynch to start this year of " I see dead people"...here he is playing John Ford in Steven Spielberg autobiographical The Fablemans (2022). I will post separatly about my relationship with Lynch. Taleked about him extensively with Christa Bell, his muse and last collaborator (their album, in 2024, Cellophane Memories).
Remembrance from Steven Spielberg on David Lynch:
“I loved David’s films. Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Elephant Man defined him as a singular, visionary dreamer who directed films that felt handmade. I got to know David when he played John Ford in The Fabelmans. Here was one of my heroes—David Lynch playing one of my heroes. It was surreal and seemed like a scene out of one of David’s own movies. The world is going to miss such an original and unique voice. His films have already stood the test of time and they always will.”
"There's nothing like the big screen. The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience." - David Lynch
Farawell David Lynch the Magician, white or black lodge, I guess you have your own, the David Lynch Lodge, there's a lady with a Log there and some guy, Bob, is the bouncer. Badalamanti plays the piano, Bowie's at the bar, Dennis Hopper sips his whisky, even Tom Sizemore is aloud to come for a drink...
