"We just went out with our friend to walk the dog, and you’re wearing a mask, everyone’s wearing a mask. The dog is the only one who’s completely alive!"
"He’s living the dog’s life. The rest of us are afraid to die, and afraid to kill, so we’re masked up and we’re injected, and so forth. It’s the most challenging time of this life cycle for us. We didn’t have a world war or a depression, the things our ancestors had. This is the hand we got dealt and if you fold, you can’t win."Said Bill Murray, quoted in "Bill Murray: ‘We are afraid to die and afraid to kill’/The comedy great sits down with classical cellist Jan Vogler and talks to Kevin EG Perry about the pandemic being this generation’s ‘most challenging time’, his cure for depression and shooting a majestic concert movie at the Acropolis of Athens" (Independent).
Also:
"I remember my friend Hunter Thompson..."
Ah, the other Hunter.
"... who was another guy people perceived as sort of a dark force but who really had a wonderful sense of humour, talking about John Prine,” says Murray.... "I remember at one of the moodiest… What did he used to call it? Broodingest! …at one of the broodingest moments of our long weekend, he said: ‘Well, we’ll have to rely on John Prine for the sense of humour.’ And he put on some, and it was dark out there in the mountains, and we did listen to John Prine for a while. There was a moment where I was the most miserable of my whole life, so I thought, I’ll go see if John Prine will help me here. His song ‘Linda Goes to Mars’ comes on and I just remember going: ‘Heh’... That was it. That was all there was, but it was a change of direction. I thought: ‘Goddammit, it worked!’ I hadn’t even ‘Heh’d’ in such a while.”
Something, somewhere, somehow took my Linda by the hand/And secretly decoded our sacred wedding band/For when the moon shines down upon our happy humble home/Her inner space gets tortured by some outer space unknown....
ADDED: Speaking of "old white dudes" — that's quite a trio of old white dudes: Bill Murray, Hunter S. Thompson, and John Prine. Now, you might say once someone is dead, he's not an "old man" anymore, but in the linked post, from earlier this morning, we talk about 2 men whose names appeared in today's NYT crossword. One of names — spoiler alert — clued as "Silent film star known as the 'Man of a Thousand Faces'" — is Lon Chaney. This is Lon Chaney Sr. — not Jr. — and he died at the age of 47. Surely if a man who died young a long time ago is an "old dude," then dead men who actually died old — at 67 (Thompson) and 73 (Prine) —are "old dudes."
To be fair, Lon Chaney looked damned old in some of his photographs:
