The key word here is a few there are only 13 in total but still!
Enjoy the list below, complete with some Lynchian context from the memoir.
The Beatles
People dont know how important the Beatles were to our lives.
People who lived through it know, but young people dont know.
I lived through it, though, so meeting Paul and Ringo was beyond the beyond.
But for me its incredible.
Gone With the Wind
Movies werent a big part of Boise in the fifties.
I remember seeingGone With the Windon a giant screen, outside, on a summer evening that was nice.
Sunset Boulevard
I do loveSunset Boulevardand I got to meet Billy Wilder several times.
But Im not alone.
It stuck with a lot of people.
Janis Joplin
Watching Janis Joplin inMonterey Pop,oh my God, I just break into tears.
Its like it came out of nowhere.
I started wearing one just because I found one at the Goodwill.
Jimi Hendrix
He and his guitar are one thing.
His fingers are playing no matter where his guitar is they are one.
Its the coolest fucking thing.
Vladimir Horowitzs Moonlight Sonata
Oh my God, this guy could play it.
Such soul comes through when he plays it.
And Beethoven wrote that damn thing when he was deaf!
Portishead
I love Portishead.
I saw them with David Bowie at the Mason Lodge on Highland Avenue.
We were in the back, smoking.
