“I want to be alone and I want people to notice me — both at the same time.”
As an introvert who craves attention, glory, and fame, I totally get what Mr. Yorke is talking about.
Alanis Morissette | Jagged Little Pill (1995)
Alanis Morissette takes a sad song, and makes it bitter. She and Loretta Lynn should form a support group.
Michael Jackson | Bad (1987)
Brilliant talent, but he should REALLY have started with the man in the mirror and changed his ways.
Loretta Lynn | Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (1966)
The entry in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die was "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin (With Lovin' On Your Mind" but I couldn't find a source for such an album. I chose instead to listen to Loretta Lynn's "All Time Greatest Hits" which includes that song.
There's no one better than Loretta Lynn at composing catchy, sing-along tunes describing the low-down, good-for-nothing, cheatin', drinkin', pigs that women are married to.

Flying the Feathered Edge
I recommend this film. I saw it at the 2014 Napa Valley Film Festival. Although a bit long, it tells the story of a truly remarkable man.
Nicknamed 'The Pilot's Pilot' by his peers yet largely unknown outside aviation, legend Robert A. 'Bob' Hoover, 92, is considered by many to be our greatest living aviator. Bob dreamed of being a fighter pilot but was too tall, with poor eyesight and an acute case of airsickness. With determination and out of the box thinking, he went on to become an accomplished experimental test pilot helping to launch the world into the jet age. In FLYING THE FEATHERED EDGE, Hoover tells his own story - joined by some of the best and brightest minds in aerospace today - and reveals hard earned wisdom from a life spent pushing the edge of the flight envelope while contributing to aviation's many developments.
Underwater Dreams
Inspirational Documentary shown at the Napa Valley Film Festival 2014
Underwater Dreams, narrated by Michael Peña, chronicles the story of how the sons of undocumented Mexican immigrants learned how to build underwater robots. And go up against MIT in the process.
