Lynch, from the moment he released Eraserhead out into the world, was his own entity.
He moved through life with whimsy and joy, and made art that was dark and vivid and terrifying.
He wrote a book about transcendental meditation.
They said he was mindblowing even when he wasnt necessarily trying to be.
The crush never materialized, but a full-blown obsession emerged.
As an escape, I pretended the lush landscape of Appalachia was actually somewhere in Twin Peaks, Washington.
I dressed like Audrey Horne.
I got four tattoos, the fourth being a matching one with someone I no longer speak to.
Twin Peaks was the jumping-off point and I slowly made my way through his entire filmography.
Lynch isnt here anymore, and I dont know what to do with myself.
I, like so many fans who make art of their own, still have so many questions.
But he would probably tell me to look to the moon, or something.
He would point at the stars, or to a can of Coke.
He would say that we already have all the answers.
The owls are not what they seem.
One day the sadness will end.
Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, and Eraserhead are streaming now on Max.
