Swap the clothes shops for American candy stores and Wingstops and how much of this has changed – and that line: “How can you describe what has been lost to those who’ve never known different?” 05212

Ed Luker @edluker.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Something very Lynchian about David Lynch dying from a smoking related illness in the immediate aftermath of wildfires in his Californian landscape. There’s an analogy, smoke / fire, a symbolic shape, but no firm correlation — a kind of poetic thought. 041
