The weirdness gets into that zone. Not those specifics but very weird. OTOH, the soundtrack is basically a Beatles greatest hits so the music is fantastic.
Oh, I believe it. Just as long as nothing happens to Ringo, I'll watch just about anything him's in.

Thought of you yesterday - you HAVE to Google footage of Drew Carey enthusiastically praising the Phish concert at the LV Sphere during the After Midnight show. I think he had fun 😊 It's very funny.
Oh, I saw that. Him was postin' bout it on Threads too.
Quote by Mendalla
Have you watched Yellow Submarine yet? If you think Help is weird...
You're actually the second person to tell me that, but no, I haven't seen it yet.
My thing is - what if the submarine was driven and co-piloted by the octopus and the walrus? And what if it was a killer submarine?
Help is one of the weirdest movies I've seen in awhile, but for Ringo, anything. Or just about anything.
If anything - or anyone, I should say - Pete Best is the terrible drummer. Just cause that's him's last name doesn't make it true.
I knew of Ringo even as a kid cause him was Mr. Conductor on 'Shining Time Station,' which is probably why my mom assumed him was my favorite.
Funny story. My mom thought my favorite Beatle was Ringo for years and now I think she's right.
And that leads me to think that Georgie, while I do like him a lot, was my beard (so to speak) for the feelings I actually have for Ringo.
Asking me to choose between any other classic rocker and Tommy is pointless cause I'm gonna pick Tommy every time cause nothing and nobody sounds better to me than him (even though I do like a lot of other artists too).
Quote by Mendalla
I can't think of many movies where he did play that big a role. The Man Who Fell To Earth is the only one I can think of. Even in The Hunger he goes away fairly early.
That's on my list of them. It's probably my favorite look of him's, too.
Quote by Mendalla
You could watch Last Temptation of Christ and just rewind the scene with him as Pilate a few times. 😉
I could but I kind of want to see something where him's in like every scene. Even Labyrinth doesn't have enough of him.
I was going to watch another David Bowie movie this past weekend but the one I had in mind had him dying at the end and that was too close to irl events so I passed.
...and in other news, just when I thought I wasn't so into George Harrison anymore, I was proven wrong. I think I really, really like him - but definitely not as much as Tommy.
Tommy was in my dreams last night.
Him was walkin' round my local grocery store and I wanted so badly to talk to him but I was too shy. The weird part is that I was convinced it wasn't him; just someone who looked like him.
...but it was and I woke up mad that I was too shy even in my dreams.
I ended up watchin' Labyrinth last night after many years and...oh my.
Quote by Mendalla
Have you seen him as the Goblin King in Labyrinth? First time I have seen a bit goblin.
When I was thirteen, yeah, but not since - someone I knew showed it to me and then basically ensured I'd never share any of my interests until I was much older.
Quote by verbal
My favorite Bowie song. Life on Mars.
I haven't a favorite yet - mostly I just marvel at him's interesting lyrics - but I've seen images of him in The Man Who Fell to Earth and...oh my.
I - I was listenin' to David Bowie earlier and all I can think about is listenin' to more later. Him kinda grew on me and...yeah.
...no, I've not died.
Real life caught up to me for a bit on top of my being in the middle of three or four stories I can't post here at the moment (every time I'm stuck on one, I just start another) and being fully immersed in Pettyphoria.
I've legit written more in the last week or so while listening to my Tommy than I have in the last year.
Quote by Mendalla
It certainly stared into my soul. Give it a read, folks.
Thanks for that. I'm also working on somethin for the other side but that popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone so...there we are.
...well, it got approved. And all I'm gonna say is if you know, you know.

I've just submitted a new poem to the site. Fingers crossed that it gets approved.
Y'all, if you're going to listen to Georgie's solo work, do yourself a favor and skip him's first album - unless you actually like sitar music, that is.
I'm not sure if this'll make any sense to anyone other than me, but I really, really love the way Tommy's voice starts to fade into an echo at the end of every song.
Quote by verbal
Elyse, you were kidding about crushing on Tom Petty!? I'm so disappointed....
No, not Tommy, never Tommy. More like I was kidding about George Harrison at first...but now it's not a joke whoops.
Oh god. I really, really need to stop joking about being attracted to classic rockstars cause I keep forgetting that one day it might not be a joke.
The deep sense of relief I feel whenever I listen to Tommy is unreal.
It's a bit like coming home after a long, stressful day, honestly.
Oh wow. I kinda just know him as Zowie Bowie though, not Duncan Jones. I'm not sure why or how that works though.
Quote by verbal
Anyone alive who doesn’t host at least a tiny crush on David Bowie has a heart of stone.
That's not wrong. At the same time, though, that's also how I feel about Drew and Tommy.
Quote by Mendalla
At least you have good taste in rock stars. 😋
Well, there is that. I can thank Drew for that cause him is teaching me well. Today, I'm being Petty though.
Quote by Mendalla
Oh boy, watch out rock stars. 😉
Yeah...I think I fell for David Bowie without really realizing it. Like, I keep liking/following every page I can find and...yeah.
...well, I'm officially in classic rockstar loving hell - and I love it. Why is it always the dimples?
(And no, this isn't about Tommy, or at least not just about him.)
