I was a bit of a late bloomer with Soundgarden, but they’ve become such an instrumental part of my musical identity. Head Down has become such a favorite of mine, though as I was first listening the song was weird to me. Anywho, great band, great music all the way through and just wanted to share. Rock on.
I don’t know why I waited until now to watch this show. My parents watched it and loved it, and I was an angsty teenager who cared more about playing punk rock on guitar and video games with friends. When Newsroom came out, it even took me a while to watch that one and I ended up really enjoying it. But why it has taken me until 2026 to watch The West Wing? Perhaps I am looking for some hope in the world of politics and governance in the U.S. or finally getting to my list I have carried of shows I have been told to watch. But I just finished this show and what an experience.
Strong series. Loved the characters. And I know it is risky and naïve to write, but it seemed like a rosy look at how the office of the president can be truly honorable and held in high regard. It’s easy to get sucked into the scandals and underbelly of politics within our governing bodies, so it was nice to escape into a narrative that restored a sense of duty when serving in office. I don’t know, I am rambling. Great show, and the ratings make sense to me.
Thank you for your time.
