    Regarding ZZ Top, this Lynch interview from a while back is interesting. http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/q-a-david-lynch-on-enlightenment-zz-top-and-yeezus-20140225

     



    Which way do your musical tastes run?
    I love the blues. And I love rhythm and blues, and Elvis Presley taking off from those two things. And I like rockabilly, and I like the Beatles—my favorite Beatles song is "Across the Universe."  I like Jimi Hendrix and I like Bob Dylan. ZZ Top is one of my all-time favorite bands. When I first heard them, I said, "These people have got the power. And the roots are there." But they just kick butt.

    What's your favorite ZZ Top song?
    "Sharp Dressed Man."

    This thread/forum is just nonstop interesting analysis and genial conversation and then suddenly one combo-breaker of negativity always from the same source (you).  Please make an effort to be less abrasive, or maybe find a community you might enjoy more elsewhere.  Chris, Jake...you guys are doing a great job.

     

    To salvage this post with some discussion:  what did everyone think of the dramatic music swell on Diane saying the titular "Let's Rock"?  To me it kinda felt a little like loosening a pressure valve early in the episode.  When you get 11 episodes of Dougie and then the next episode is entitled "Let's Rock" I imagine many fans' minds excitedly went to same place as mine, basically "awwww yeah here we go!"

     

    But then it happened so early in the episode and so relatively unceremoniously that the contrast with my hyped up imagination was kinda brutal in the moment.

     

    Was the point just to troll the audience like that?  Seems like something Lynch is increasingly interested in this season heh.

     

    I think the titles are designed to troll or subvert expectations. Think about it. This is Lynch. An amazing lore-heavy episode gets an unimpressive title like "Gotta light?"

    Also see Episode 9 "This Is The Chair", which featured a pointless extended Lucy and Andy argument about a red or beige chair, before showing the actual plot-relevant chair later on.

    I really think Albert impatiently waiting for the French Woman to leave was meant to parody the audience. They know what they're doing.
