Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett teach us about love in the time of Cordyceps and zero hope. And we emerge from this elegy of a life well-lived with remnants of their sentient soulful connection.
Thanks so much for the shout-out, Beth! I like how you weaved in my Aimee Mann excerpt with your analysis (that sounds too clinical) of the Last of Us episode.
I also love how you included two of the most impactful songs, ones that have formed the person I am, into your piece, and just left them there for the reader to incorporate. I am sure to write an Air Supply focused Earworm piece sometime this year, as that was the very first concert I ever attended. My parents played them constantly. And R.E.M. was one of my favorite bands. It's always nice when a song can speak to how we feel about another art form, let alone our personal lives.
I do plan on watching Last of Us, I'm just having trouble finding time to watch TV -- so busy trying to keep up with the Substacks! I'm also trying to finish Fleishman (I'm half-way through; mixed feelings about it).
It’s been interesting to dip into the comment sections of articles about this episode and see the bro gamer culture flipping out over HBOs “wokeness” ruining the story while the rest of the world is like, “Awww.. so sweet and hopeful!” 😂
