Ruminations from the Red Room

Being Excellent to Each Other - a Resonance on Bill and Ted

In this pt 2 episode, which follows hot on the heels of our Rumination on Generations, we wax nostalgic on Bill and Ted, their Excellent Adventure, and Bogus Journey. A generational touch stone itself, the first Bill and Ted was a fantasy ride full of optimism and hope. The idea that music could save the world, could create a harmonious existence and unite people was an inspiration, one we could use a little more of now. Today it seems people need a little boost, a bit of levity, and while we’re at it, perhaps whip a little love and compassion at ‘em at the same time. The joy, and positivity that the original movie exhibits, smoothly invites all watchers to enjoy the moment, live for our dreams, and simply “be excellent to each other”. So we chat about what the movie meant to us, what moments we remember most fondly and what we hope for the third installment, “Bill and Ted Face the Music”, which as of this writing, becomes available today in theaters and via on-demand services. This writer for one can’t wait. We’ll be watching with friends around the country and, while we can’t be in the same room, and we’re not heading out to the theatre, we very much intend to “party on dudes”.

Reflections: Twin Peaks-The Return observations, and impressions
Ruminations: Wandering thoughts, ideas, and conversations that enjoy the 
journey over the destinations
Reminiscence: Tales of friendship, adventures, and the drinks along the way
Resonance: Reviews and the like, over art of all kinds
