I took a train to a sleepy little medieval town in Switzerland once, and I decided on a whim to listen to The Lonesome Crowded West. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. But what I realized then is that for better or for worse, The Lonesome Crowded West is distinctly American, probably the greatest modern american album. I realized that all the people around me there in Europe probably couldn't truly understand The Lonesome Crowded West fully without coming from the states (or canada, I guess). I grew up in white-flight suburbs in the rust belt, right on the edge of the sprawl, and it was so depressing to see the sprawl expand every year. Every year there'd be a couple new strip malls and cookie-cutter subdivisions in place of farms. So many of those storefronts were never filled.

HOLY HELL the spinning homeless dude at 29:35 is a Seattle Center regular I saw him practically every day since I went to school around there. He bought my friends cigs/booze more than once

I came back here after hearing of Jeremiah's passing. I love how this documentary captures how kind he seemed.
