He ended up cutting that part, thinking that at least someone should come out on top.

I watched the commentary track for that movie.

PTA talked about how he originally wanted all the characters to end up at rock bottom by the 80s.

Nicole Ari Parker's characters new husband was originally to end up being an abuser.

"My dearest Rebecca,

The Inflatable Brigades continue to stymie us. Countless hordes of frogs, unicorns, foxes, dogs, raccoons.

We knew we were done for when the Pikachu arrived. Pure weaponized hilarity.

We cannot get out. We cannot get out......"

They were staring daggers at them. Just absolutely not on board with that.

Still funny when normies happen to see vids of their services.

Oh, there was a whole subsection of Baptists that were basically just Pentecostals in disguise.

Was funny when my parents friends invited them to their church, and they broke out the anointing oil, then the speaking in tongues, and then the faith healing.

I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan, and kinda indifferent to her music, but this is some bullshit.

Let that woman live her damn life.

Parasocial relationships are what the kids call cringe.

When he was convicted for a life sentence, Dylan never performed the song again.

So, I take activism from artists with a huge grain of salt.

One snippet that makes me kinda sour on Dylan was him visiting Rubin "Hurricane" Carter in prison, and lamenting that there were no cells with bars to take a picture, so they put up a room gate.

He had wrote a "protest" song about him, and was promoting a tour around the former boxer.

Cash was effortlessly cool, transcended genres.

Dylan was a decent folk singer, who parleyed that into being some kind of avatar for aging Boomers who were more interested in appearances that if the music was actually good.
