“I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it.” – David Lynch.

Twin Peaks has only a small link to Philadelphia, Agent Dale Cooper was from here. However David Lynch has a profound connection to the city, particularly its gritty, dangerous past.
Lynch studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, living in the Callowhill neighborhood in the late 60s. At a time when the neighborhood was still largely industrial and trains still carried commuters atop the Reading Viaduct, Callowhill was another world, one Lynch blames for his dark and disturbing stories.
Well if this isn’t some freaky Black Lodge speak, then I don’t know what is. According to what I could find online, Dutch artist Jeroen Offerman spent three months learning how to sing Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” backwards. He then filmed himself singing the ditty backwards and reversed the footage (at least that’s what I think is going on here). The whole thing is… really something.

Has anyone read it yet? Curious to hear your opinions!
This past weekend my boyfriend and I had the privilege of meeting Jennifer Lynch at the 2013 Twin Peaks Fest. She is an incredibly funny and down to earth person. In the process of having her sign my copy of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, we mentioned that we were from Philadelphia. She thought that was great, then we showed her the photo we had taken of the Eraserhood mural. She was so excited and thought it was awesome. We explained to her what the Eraserhood was and where it was. I was shocked that she didn’t know anything about it. We actually ended up texting her the picture at her request, so she could send it to her dad! Her exact words were, “That’s going to dad tonight!”. It was awesome! Just thought I’d share that story with you guys!
