“Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been innumerable years since my last confession. “
“May the lord help you to confess your sins, my child”
“Father, I have lied, but I have done so oft in the name of love, or companionship, but these lies have begun to weigh on me, and I feel I must speak my truth.”
“Yes, my child, tell me how you have lied.”
“I can no longer pretend to like Davids, father. I have lied about my favor for so many Davids.”
“Davids? Do you speak of Shepherds?”
“No father, I speak of artists. David…ack, I can barely say it aloud father.
“Tell me my child, who is this David?”
“Lynch, father, I can not longer pretend to enjoy and care for the work of filmmaker and personality David Lynch. I fear that by speaking this truth I will be ostracized by my friends and loved ones, but it has to stop.”
“Ahh, my child, of course there’s some disagreement about season two of Twin Peaks, and where his real vision came in to play, but season one seems in like with your interests, no?”
“Indeed father, whimsy, and murder mysteries, and Kyle Machlachlan are things I adore. But, I just don’t care for it.”
“Even Blue Velvet?”
“Even Blue Velvet, father.”
“That is indeed a burden to bear. I will keep you in my prayers in this trying time.”
“And Father, there’s more…”
“My child, do not tell me you speak of the other, the most sacred of Davids…”
“Bowie?! Absolutely not, father! I would never dare besmirch his honor. But, in truth, there is another David who I can no longer suffer to feign enthusiasm for. It’s David Byrne, father.”
“A yes, and you may find yourself, in a catholic confessional booth, and you may ask yourself, how did I get here?”
“Good one. A real dad-joke, or a real father-joke. Indeed, I enjoy that song when it comes on the radio. I nod my head when acquaintances, cousins, young teacher’s assistants, and even lovers espouse the “genius” of David Byrne. But I do not feel the same admiration in my heart, and it fills me with shame.”
“My child, these are grave deviances from what we have declared good. For your penance, you must learn the lyrics of an obscure talking heads song, and practice your poker face in the mirror 50 times. And 50 Hail Marys.”
“Yes father”
“Tell me child, are there more?”
“Not quite. I mean I always preferred the intro to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, but that’s allowed, yes?”
“Ah yes, brother Eggers, indeed, we make room for those who love the intro as well as the memoir itself. Our flock is open to all.”
“Thank you, father.”
“Yes my child, I leave you with your penance to make at home, but before we leave let us say the lord’s prayer together. And may God give you strength to find your way back to the flock.”
“I am ready, father”
“You remind me of the babe…”
“What babe?”
“The babe with the power?”
“What power?”
“The power of voodoo..”
“Who do?”
“You do!”
“Do what?”
“Remind me of the babe!”
“Amen.”
“Amen.”
