Dear @JoyfullyDazed —
According to a nostalgic piece in today’s NYT, Cameron Crowe claims his ‘92 grunge rom-com “Singles” inspired your beloved “Friends.” What sayest thou? 🤔😏
So you’re saying a case can be made that there’s a connection from “Singles” fandom to the “Friends” cult?
🤔🤓
Saw them when they opened for AIC, 11/92.
Lots of flannel. SO MUCH flannel.
I remember being REALLY STONED at that show. 😎

All the way back then, I was working for the man.
No weed for me.
I was jes’ gradjeeatin’’ USF dean’s list on the 5yr plan, ol’ Bixie ol’ pard! Yet most of the time was assuming a similar position 🙄😜 —
Hey Bixie —
My fave from that sdtrk, but (not much) different. Would you say it’s soft rock, an amalgamation of Zep riffs, both, or something else? 😆
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
Note, the Westerberg song on the sdtk is poor.
“Dyslexic Heart” or “Waiting For Somebody”?
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
"Waiting for Somebody"
I like “Dyslexic Heart.” It is so stupid that is it charming [my rating].
I know, duh. It’s in your bio. It’s been in your bio (Twitter and here) for years and was also partially why I followed you circa ‘17ish.
🙄😜❤️
This rates a very rare “I know” twofer.
Now, listen Trey, don't be my little problem.

(I only like “Merry Go Round” on that album.)
No problemo; I won’t be your ghost of a Texas ladies’ man, either. I only spent my summers/major holidays there…
Such a talent. So sad he's gone.
Oh no! Bix, your video isn't showing. 😂
To be honest, I don't think many Singles fans would say Friends had the same vibe. I certainly don't think so. But the connection doesn't make me scratch my head. You're probably going to be surprised by this, but if I had a choice to watch Singles or Friends, I'd watch Singles every time.
So, I guess my answer to your question is no. Two different feels.
Correct! I’d rate that “Friends v. Singles” admission a solid 7 on my Surprise-O-Meter.
😱😁
Well, Singles certainly had better music than Friends. 😉
A 7 is pretty good, no? As in, yes — you were correct that I was surprised. A 10
would be if I was dumbfounded. 😀
