The brilliant, visionary director David Lynch has died.
He was one of those artists, during both my youth and adulthood, who just always seemed to be ... there ... working ... doing something ... almost always weird. Loved his movies Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Lost Highway, and Twin Peaks is a milestone not only in television but in all of American culture.
Now David Lynch and his unique, wonderful mind have gone into the Red Room (if you know Twin Peaks, you know what I'm talking about). We'll never see his likes again.
Amazingly, when Lynch was at the height of his career (with Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart big successes), he created this PSA for the NYC Department of Sanitation in 1991. Wasn't that just like the guy -- doing something totally unexpected, bizarre, and fun.
RIP, David. Say hello to Laura Palmer for us. And that chewing gum you like is really coming back into style.
