Typically, the songs that get stuck in my head or “just pop in there” have at least some mild connection to something. An anime theme jumps in there? Well, I’ve been watching more Anime lately, so my brain selects that internal playlist. Not rocket science. A love song pops into my head? Well, I’m trying to work through my emotional need for that so, it is on my mind all the time.... too often. I can usually connect the dots, even if it is a vague, tenuous, or loose connection.
One of my favorite CHRISTAMS Songs popped in this morning. I.... I can’t make a satisfying connection. The best I can say, and this feels convoluted, is that the song is primarily about looking forward to something that will soon arrive (Christmas) and sharing fellowship...... so, I could say the song popped into my head because I have a family even starting next week. That’s… the best I’ve got as a possible connection or reason why!
THEN I got this song stuck in my head!
Then I checked my messages before going to lunch and got an Actor/Fan gut punch. I never met the man, but I was a sincere consumer of the projects he worked. And, as much as I can appreciate why it is a damned shame that I cannot say SIR Anthony Steward Head or even Anthony Stewart Head OBE. Clearly, those who know me know of my love for Buffy. But Tony, as he was often referred to socially, was so much more than Buffy. And while he was an amazing performer in projects like Dr. Who and Ted Lasso… while he brilliantly portrayed Nathan in REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA he was a true performer, often returning to the theater for musical performances. He passed today of complications from pneumonia at 72 years old.
So, in pale tribute, I’ll have REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA playing through my speakers for the rest of the day.
