David Lynch on using Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" in Blue Velvet (1986), and Roy Orbison's reaction to the film: Chris Rodley: "I’ve always assumed that ‘In Dreams’ was conceived as an integral part of the movie from the beginning. It seems conceptually essential to the story’s intentions and mood. Is that true?" Lynch: "‘In Dreams’ came about while we were in production for Blue Velvet. Kyle MacLachlan and I were on our way down to Wilmington, North Carolina, from New York City. We were going through Central Park on our way to the airport when over the cab’s radio came ‘Crying’ by Roy Orbison, and I’m listening to this song and I said, ‘That! I’ve got to get that for Blue Velvet. When I got to Wilmington I sent somebody out to get Roy Orbison’s greatest hits. I played ‘Crying’ and then I played ‘In Dreams’, and as soon as I did, I forgot ‘Crying’. ‘In Dreams’ explained to me so much of what the film was all about. I immediately called Dennis Hopper and told him about the scene I had in mind and that he had to memorize this song. Dennis and Dean Stockwell are old friends. Dean got together with Dennis to help him work out the song and memorize the lyrics. I wonder why! [Laughs.] So we finally got to the day we were going to shoot the scene in Ben’s apartment where Dennis was going to sing the song. We were rehearsing and Dean said, ‘I’ll stand here and kind of help Dennis if he needs it.’ So we started playing the music and both Dennis and Dean began to sing ‘In Dreams’. All of a sudden Dennis stops singing and looks at Dean — who’s continuing to sing. Dennis is solidly in character and he is moved by Dean’s (Ben’s) singing. There was the scene in front of me. It was so perfect. Once it was decided Dean would be singing ‘In Dreams’, another strange thing happened. I was going to use a small candle-style table lamp as the microphone. Dean knew the microphone was going to be a lamp of some sort and when he went over to the area of Ben’s apartment where we were going to set the song, thinking he saw the prop light, he picked up a work light that was hanging on a nail on the wall. He turned it on and flipped the long cord like a microphone cord and obviously it couldn’t have been more perfect. The strange thing is no one on the crew put that work light there. No one knew where it came from. Who can say how it happens?" Rodley: "The use of ‘In Dreams’ in that scene revived Roy Orbison’s career, but what did he think of the movie and the use of his music in it?" Lynch: "When Roy first saw the movie he didn’t like it. His song ‘In Dreams’ meant another whole thing to him, and it was, like, a precious thing. I think some people he respected must have gotten him to see the movie again and reconsider his feelings. Roy told me that when he saw the movie the second time, he got past what the song was for him and then could appreciate the fact that it was working in another way." — "Lynch on Lynch" (1997), edited by Chris Rodley

Ranking Member Chip Roy Chip Roy of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government gave a strong opening statement at today’s hearing, “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.” Roy stated that “Sharia” may sound like a 2010s buzzword, but America’s history and current trajectory make it clear that this is not the case. Roy first reminded us that it was America’s Founding Fathers who first recognized the threat Sharia law and Islam pose to the USA, as Thomas Jefferson commanded America’s military during the Barbary Wars to defeat the Islamists and freed up the shipping routes around Africa. Roy then noted that Sharia is now expanding in his home state of Texas, where Islamists are attempting to build a massive compound in Plano, Texas, known as EPIC. Roy provided a breakdown of Islamic immigration numbers, proving third-world migration is incompatible with the West: “A September 2024 survey found this about American Muslims: 54% favored a Sharia blasphemy law, 46% were in favor of forming a Muslim political party, and 33% want Islam declared as our national religion.” Roy then pointed out how much of this mass Muslim migration and pro-Islamic propaganda in America’s education system is being funded by Qatar: “Qatar Foundation International… In Texas, QFI has directed funding to Arabic in several districts.” Islamists want to transform America. More people must wake up to this fact. BAN SHARIA LAW!

Extremely exciting times in Indian politics. One MAN stood up against the combined might of the Indian Corporates and the political outfit that they rented - the #RSS #BJP Rahul Gandhi had something that none of his adversaries had - Love and Commitment to the Nation. It took time, but right now, the people of India are responding back to him - with faith in his leadership and resolve to join the fight to live free under the provisions and protection of our Constitution. Every single institution of India's democracy ranging from #Media, #ElectionCommission, #Bureacracy, and a significant portion of the #judiciary has entered in a pact with the traitors who are working overnight to liquidate the Constitution, destroy democracy and establish oligarchy. Even sentiments of religious fanatics were exploited by promising them a Bharat that would mirror the Islamic Law style of Governance, but using the (non-existent) Hindu tenets. So, they created a socio-political narrative and called it Hindutva. This has nothing to do with the religious faith of the Hindus. It pledged Nationalistic commitment to an Imaginary Nation called Akhand Bharat - a geography that covers many independent republics that practice totally different cultures, faiths and language. One MAN singularly shouldered the responsibility of calling their bluff, to uproot them and regerminate and nurture the true spirit of India that is Bharat. To pursue the task left unfinished by the founding elders of the Nation. After driving out the British, India once again took the journey to become the land of multiple cultures and religions, living in peace and harmony, and growing economically to become a prosperous yet benevolent Nation. The #RSS #BJP fuelled by greedy corporated have tried their best to disrupt this journey and pull back India into the mediveal age. Thankfully, Indians have NOW understood the FRAUD that the khakhi Thugs had played on them. People of India are UNITING under #INDIA to chain the TRAITORS who did TREASON against the Nation ...and pull them down from their High Chairs. #Congress party along with other political parties will together set India back to its Golden Age. Rahul Gandhi's humility and fortitude has earned him a place in every Indian's heart and soul.

#WATCH | Mumbai: On US prosecutors charging Gautam Adani and others in alleged Solar Energy contract bribery case, Researcher RN Bhaskar says, "There are two ways of looking at it. One, the US has found a fault and has charge sheeted Gautam Adani and his associates...But there's another angle to it. To understand that angle, you have to go back to the time when the Iran crisis took place when America had sanctioned Iran. That was the time when America had weaponised financial transactions...America has a knowledge of every transaction that takes place in the world. Because it has knowledge of every transaction that takes place in the world, it uses supercomputers and deep data mining, it can find out from where the money came and to which place it went. Effectively, America knows every transaction in the world. For the second part of the story, you have to go back to July 2023 when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was in Delhi to address a Raisina Dialogue conference...In that conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the USA is in the business of blackmailing...If America has details of every minister, bureaucrat in India, why did they select only this one to be released at this time?... How does the US pick up only one incident? If you listen to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement of how the USA blackmails bureaucrats and elected representatives to do what they want and what happened in Iran, this could be a method to blackmail India...Whenever the US wants to replace a leader in a country, it uses an excuse to create a public agitation, then gets a leader replaced by saying that it was the public agitation and we have nothing to do with it. In Bangladesh, suddenly a leader was deposed and another leader came in and the leader was incidentally staying in America. In Maidan (Ukraine), a Soviet leading leader was removed from Ukraine and Zelenskyy was appointed and Volodymyr Zelenskyy then agreed to do what America wanted him to do and started the Ukraine war. India does not want to become another Ukraine. India cannot afford to have a Zelenskyy in India..."
