In my top four favorite film endings. This conclusion touches every theme of the film.

The film is interesting. There are interviews with those who were there, including band members John Cale and Moe Tucker. Audio interviews of Lou Reed are used. There two quotes by Reed about the first album and Andy Warhol's involvement that I particularly liked.

I’ve never been a huge fan of The Velvet Underground. The only album I really like is Loaded (1970). Maybe a song or two on another album I like. I’ve never gotten into Cale’s work. With Reed, Transformer is a wonderful album. I also like Berlin and Coney Island Baby.

Aside: Popular 90s Britcom Absolutely Fabulous was about Boomer parents behaving like teens & GenX kids who had to be the parents. Last of the Summer Wine concerns elderly men who behave like mischievous schoolboys, with childish pranks, wild inventions, & absurd capers.

I'm reading this book. I have a bit of a poser.

Matthew and Zechariah/s are both accumulating messianic references. Matthew is following Zechariah/s like Zechariah/s followed Jeremiah. Matthew is following Jeremiah thru Zechariah; he recognized what Zechariah/s was doing with Jeremiah et al.

The "apparently" concerns me. I think this conflation is intentional by Matthew, but I'm not seeing evidence of this Jewish interpretive technique elsewhere. Deliberate typological association is one thing, but deliberate biographical conflation is more difficult to prove.

The proposals for why Matthew includes Berechiah in 23:5 is all over the place. -Conflation of the two Zechariahs. -Zechariah, son of Baruch, martyred in 70 CE. -An unknown Zechariah. -Fitzmyer (surprisingly) thinks it was original to Q, but removed by Luke to avoid confusion.

*That should be Matt 23:35.

I've always kept this conceptual modeling illustration of quantum foam from Brian Greene's book The Elegant Universe (1999). I find it motivating.
The very fabric of space-time at the smallest scales is thought to be extremely turbulent and chaotic, described as a frothy sea called quantum foam. This concept, stemming from quantum mechanics and general relativity, suggests that the very nature of space-time is bubbling with tiny wormholes and fluctuations that appear and disappear within fractions of a second. 📷by Johann Rosario
