And Bob Uecker too. Will we recover as a nation?

Damn. It's been a privilege having a life that intersects with this great artist.

I'm glad we got another season of Twin Peaks out of him.

He also created the comic strip "the angriest dog in the world"

I was a big fan of Twin Peaks back in the day, and Elephant Man, too. Even Dune.

The best thing though, is that we have the same haircut!

David Lynch - So Glad from an album he later released in 2011. As a long time fan, his inspiration will be missed.

I remember seeing "Blue Velvet" when I was young. It changed my expectations about what movies could be. He was a creative genius!

Eraserhead is the worst movie that has ever been.
