people without a spine never wanted to admit it, but he has always been so tuff. more so than 99% of mega rockstars with a bad boy persona from his era. posers just never understood what real steeze looks like
“Our children are growing up without their birthright: the myths, fairy tales, fantasies and folklore that are their proper legacy. It is a serious loss. Who was Lilith? King David? Pegasus? Anansi the Spider? Apollo? … To do without tales and stories and books is to lose humanity’s past, is to have no star map for our future.” Jane Yolen
I think one of the saddest things about modern childhood is the loss of cartoons as inheritance. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo reruns decades after it first aired. Kids today have more content than ever, but perhaps less shared cultural inheritance across generations.

The only thing I have to say on the 25th anniversary is what Hunter S Thompson said in the aftermath. There's been few things said more prescient than the party's over. For someone like me who partied like hell in the 90's, 21stC has been very different. The party is still over.
Lily Wachowski on saying "f*ck you both" to Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump for using the red pill from "The Matrix" to tout MAGA:
"I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is."

The original teaser for Back to the Future (1985) is brilliant. It builds pure intrigue around the DeLorean while revealing almost nothing about the story.
Complaining about the Electrical Water Pageant being too loud and telling Disney to retire it should lead to a lifetime banishment from the parks.
