Kary, you capture the Lynchian allure in a nutshell, the darkness massing under the flat surface of the culture like an alligator crawling under the wall-to-wall carpet. Your lines bring up some of my favorite memories of watching Twin Peaks: "From the pure, dreamy Laura Dern (who seemed older than 16, even though she actually was) to the easily-influenced Kyle MacLachlan, to the freaky Dennis Hopper, and of course the sexy, 30-something Isabella Rossellini, the characters all offered something I didn’t even know I wanted: reckless courage in the face of an heretofore unseen, enigmatic foreboding." Wonderful piece!
I was one of those weirdos in 1986, Kary! I would've gone with you. :)
That would have been great!
I like the way you convey this. - and I learned something new about you.
