The last episode of the original run of Quantum Leap aired on May 5, 1993. Almost everyone in the episode appeared in previous episodes or reference previously mentioned characters. In theory, Sam lept into himself in August 8, 1953 in a mining town, but it appeared he had actually lept into some kind of limbo possibly meeting God. It was implied that Sam was the one controlling his leaps. Sam went on to alter Al's life. A title card at the end revealed that Sam never returned home again. ("Mirror Image", Quantum Leap, TV Event)

Screw the Oscars, screw the MTV awards, screw Rolling Stone and the CMA, here is Shite'n'Onions best of 2022 list. The only list that matters.
Screw the Oscars, screw the MTV awards, screw Rolling Stone and the CMA, here is Shite’n’Onions best of 2022 list. The only list that matters. #1 THE MAHONES: JAMESON STREET A full force Céilí romp and possibly the most authentic trad sound I’ve ever heard coming out of any Celtic punk band. #2 FINNEGAN’S HELL: ONE FINGER SALUTE  As good as anything the big boys are doing #3 THE WINTER…

“When you buy the rights to 18 Anne Rice novels that have sold more than 150 million copies, in your wildest dreams you hope there’s a show as good as ‘Interview’ on the other end,” Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, said in a statement. “What Rolin has done with these stories and characters, working so closely with Mark, as the steward of this universe, has exceeded the loftiest version of our expectations. We can’t wait to see where this creative team takes the series from here and know we are walking alongside an incredibly loyal and passionate base of fans who feel as strongly about this material as we do.”

“Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day,” shared creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones. “Thank you to the rabid, beautifully unwell fandom that scaled the castle walls to get us to this day. Thank you to Dan McDermott, Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work of dramatizing Anne Rice’s extraordinary novels. And sincere apologies to the family and friends of actor Sam Reid, for the possession that continues to this day. Monsieur L extends his promise to return his body upon cancellation (may that evening never come).”
--Interview With The Vampire renewed for season 3

Je te reconnaîtrai quand tu viendras pieds nus Sur les sentiers brûlants d'odeurs et de soleil Les cheveux ruisselants sur tes épaules nues Et les seins ombragés des palmes du sommeil
Je laisserai alors s'envoler les oiseaux Les oiseaux longs-courriers qui traversent les mers Les étoiles aux vents courberont leurs fuseaux Les oiseaux très pressés fuiront dans le ciel clair
Claude Roy

Storia Di Musica #291 - Deacon Blue, Raintown, 1987
Lo spunto per le storie settembrine me lo ha dato un aneddoto simpatico sugli Steely Dan, protagonisti dell'ultima storia di Agosto. Una delle loro canzoni più famose, Deacon Blues, da Aja (il loro capolavoro del 1977) fece un viaggio emozionale fino in Scozia, dove un giovane ragazzo si appassionava alla musica, soprattutto a quel pop così sofisticato, pieno di stratificazioni sonore, piccoli gioielli musicali incastonati nelle melodie, e immensa classe esecutiva. Ricky Ross si chiama quel giovane ragazzo, che dopo che a Dundee viene licenziato da professore precario delle scuole secondarie, si trasferisce a Glasgow, dove decidere di mettere su un gruppo. Prima trova il batterista, Dougie Vipond, poi un bravissimo pianista, James Prime, un chitarrista, Graeme Kelling, e una corista, Carol Moore. Le prime esibizioni sono incoraggianti, ma la Moore decide di mettersi da parte. Ross si ricorda che aveva sentito ad un provino, improvvisato in Bath Street, una ragazza che lascia il suo indirizzo, ma non il suo numero di telefono. E la storia vuole che fu lo stesso Ross ad arrivare sulla Great Western Road di Glasgow per chiedere a Lorraine McIntosh di unirsi al gruppo. E c'è la ciliegina sulla torna: durante uno delle prime serata acclamati dal pubblico, Dougie Vipond leggermente brillo incontrò Ewen Vernal, bassista, nel bagno di un locale e gli chiese di unirsi al gruppo. Il nome per la band è quello che Ross ha in testa da anni: Deacon Blue, e siamo nel 1985. Glasgow in quegli anni è una città in piena trasformazione sociale, anche con profonde fratture socio economiche (per farsi un'idea, suggerisco i romanzi di Douglas Stuart) ma dal punto di vista musicale sarà la capitale scozzese della musica. Tanto che un giornalista del Glasgow Herald, John Williamson, decise di produrre una cassetta in allegato alle pagine culturali del giornale con tutte le promesse della musica cittadina di quel periodo: ci sono futuri gruppi e artisti molto famosi come i Wet Wet Wet, Kevin McDermott, Hue and Cry e i Deacon Blue, che contribuiscono con Take The Saints Away.
Dopo questa esperienza, sono pronti ad andare in studio, insieme a Jon Kelly, capo ingegnere del suono agli Air Studios di Londra. Ross ha in mente una sorta di concept album su Glasgow, che ne racconti le sfumature più varie. Raintown, pubblicato nel 1987, si presenta con una meravigliosa foto in bianco e nero di Oscar Marziaroli, italo scozzese futuro acclamato fotografo, che ferma una città avvolta nella perenne pioggerellina con sullo sfondo uno dei simboli della città, la Finnieston Crane, una gigantesca gru portuale, ormai non operativa, simbolo dell'industriosità degli abitanti, proprio all'imbocco del porto cittadino. Dal punto di vista musicale, seppur si parte dall'idea di pop sofisticato del mitico duo da cui prendono il nome, i Deacon Blue mischiano il lirismo vocale e le atmosfere uniche di Van Morrison, un canto-racconto degno del primo Springsteen e un'eleganza che ha una sua totale particolarità. Il disco ha un andamento ondeggiante tra brani calmi e riflessivi e quelli più incalzanti: l'inizio è davvero suggestivo, con Born In The Storm che come una nebbia si dirada e sfuma in Raintown, canzone che è profondamente legata all'esperienza di Ross, con versi che dicono "Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am.\You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go\I'm down here working on some dumb show\In a raintown" che raccontano l'inizio di tutta la storia. Ross scrive del rapporto con il business musicale nella bella Ragman e nell'altrettanto suggestiva Loaded, scritta di getto come un flusso di coscienza su una base improvvisata dagli altri componenti della band su una cassetta super 8, ed è capace di dipingere affreschi musicali persino drammatici in abiti delicati e affascinanti. He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now è ispirata ad un pensiero, a che vita avesse fatto l'uomo che sganciò la bomba atomica su Hiroshima: tra incontri particolari ("he may have been with Oppenheimer, shaken Einstein's hand\Did we have to drop the bomb? You bet, to save this land\He was only taking pictures around the critical mass\While the troops on Tinian island sang 'Follow the bouncing ball') e cosa potrebbe essere oggi (He may have been a nationalist, a physicist or a pacifist (...) Well, I have seen that movie of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde\And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now). When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring) ha ai cori il famoso gruppo R&B londinese dei Londonbeat. Alto livello è anche Chocolate Girl, che racconta di un tipo anaffettivo, un certo Alan, ricco e spendaccione, "He calls her the chocolate girl\Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her\She knows she's the chocolate girl\Cause she's broken up and swallowed\And wrapped in bits of silver". Ma il capoavoro è Dignity: ritratto di quello spirito scozzese della dignità del lavoro, racconta la storia di un impiegato comunale, probabilmente uno che lavora sulle strade, e che non perde il sorriso nemmeno quando è preso in giro dal ragazzini e che ha un sogno, comprare un gommone, un dinghy, che vuole chiamare Dignity, con cui "I'll sail her up the west coast\Through villages and towns\I'll be on my holidays\They'll be doing their rounds\They'll ask me how I got her I'll say, "I saved my money"\They'll say, "Isn't she pretty? That ship called Dignity". In Love's Great Fears, liricissima e tutta giocata sul duetto Ross - McIntosh, che diventeranno marito e moglie poco tempo dopo, c'è Chris Rea alla chitarra.
Il disco, per le qualità musicali, per la scelta azzeccata dei singoli e per la sua atmosfera sofisticata, che quasi inventerà un genere, ha un successo clamoroso: arriva fino al numero 14 nella classifica dei dischi più venduti, rimane in classifica un anno e mezzo e vende oltre un milione di copie. La band continuerà a scrivere belle cose, e il successivo When The World Knows Your Name del 1989 arriva persino al numero 1 in UK e contiene la loro canzone più famosa, Real Gone Kid, facendo divenire sogno il successo che un ragazzo scozzese aveva immaginato sentendo una canzone, Deacon Blues, che parla di nerds and losers, secondo le famose parole di commento di Donald Fagen. Dedicherò il mese di settembre a gruppi scozzese degli anni '80, che è un periodo storico e una zona geografica che ha regalato cosine niente affatto male alla storia della musica.

AMC said themselves, they don't want to make something for everyone, but rather shows that are everything for someone
Oooh where did they say this? Because a) I love that as an ethos and b) IWTV is EVERYTHING for quite a few people, so it definitely fits that bill. Rolin said that to a fan on camera, I remember, that he's never had the experience of knowing that for a small portion of the world's population, they are making *the* show
I think it's actually a Rolin interview where he says that specifically is AMC's approach, and I can't find that exact interview now (typical, haha), but Dan McDermott who's Head of Original Programming at AMC did say basically the same thing in an interview with Vulture back in 2021:
We’re not all things to all people. We’re more about super-serving specific audiences [with] content that they already have a demonstrated affinity for. To use retail as an analogy, there are big box stores out there that the whole family can walk into and everybody can get something for themselves. And then there are more highly curated boutiques, whether it’s Nike or Lululemon or a Gucci, that are all about craftsmanship and bespoke, highly curated offerings. We clearly are in the latter category, and we think that’s our advantage. We’re not competing with the Netflixes and the Disney Pluses and the Amazons. They’re in an arms race to find mega-ginormous content that they can spend a fortune on. That’s not our business.
The whole interview is actually an interesting read though in how AMC is thinking strategically, if you're interested in that sort of thing, haha.

“I’m really appreciating the new challenges for Daryl and Carol being so far from all they’ve ever known… what it means for them, what it brings for each of them, apart and together,” said McBride in a statement. “There’s still so much ahead to unpack in France for the coming season two, and a breathtaking finale. And now Spain! I already know that David Zabel’s storytelling is making the most of all that is so beautiful and unique to Spain. We start shooting there in just a few weeks… such excitement looking forward!”
“We are so proud of these shows and incredibly grateful for the way this new chapter in The Walking Dead Universe has been embraced by the fans,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Sending Daryl, and then Carol, to France was such an inspired and visually striking move for this franchise, a chance to do something truly different. We can’t wait to continue the travels of this iconic duo with a third season produced and set in Spain, another beautiful country with a passionate TWD fanbase that is already buzzing with anticipation.”
The 2023 premiere of season one was the No. 1 most-viewed premiere of all time on AMC+ and the most-viewed season of any show in the history of AMC+. The platform says it has only been eclipsed by The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live in those categories.
