David Lynch

Ha, it just dawned on me that one of my heroes was also the one whom kept me frightened to death as a young lad. My dad was watching a movie review show or something when I was 5 or 6. The Elephant Man was new to theaters and the scene where the mob corners Mr. Merrick and unhooded him comes on. And that night I had constant nightmares that the elephant man was lying next to my bed. Then, around 1985, we saw the epic Dune in the theater and i was blown away at how dark and sinister the movie was. This was due to Mr. Lynch's movie. A bunch of years later, we are watching Blue Velvet and find the name of our first punk band: people like frank. He has been a constant influence on my life and the more I find out about David Lynch and his works, the more inspiration I have to create again. What a great individual.
