Watching Blue Velvet. After making a sort surreal type of film with Mickey I see some of the merits of Blue Velvet that I wasn’t aware of before. The town is called Lumberton, they have a cheesy radio station…Kyle McClaughlin’s character before he crosses into the dark side of life is full of that American naivete. Wanna see the chicken walk? he says to Laura Dern. And the Chicken Walk works! Why? Because it’s hillarious. Blue Velvet is a complex film with very simple pleasures I think.
I saw a friend/acquaintance in concert last night. She’s someone I greatly admire, and more so last night. They were going through some family issues that could’ve made a lesser personality stay home. Not only did she not, but she compelled a sold out crowd at The Blue Door, one new Blue Door fan I saw was Stacy, a young girl who came by herself to see the artist.
