just heard that terry hall of the specials died today. i didn’t know him, but we met briefly, in ‘96. when i asked what he was up to, he said he had written an album of love songs for his girl, but she just left him so he was going back + changing all the major chords to minor ❤️

seen a bunch of quality movies and tv, over the past couple years, but none of them connected with me as much as @fleabag season 2. the high wire act of creating, writing and starring in something so rich, that works on so many levels yet is so lean, makes PW-B an absolute legend
