They haven’t succeeded yet but Lou and Adelle are trying to make a Substack publication. Both are notoriously slow to learn anything new and Lou equates their difficulties to being deposited in a strange new world, much like the characters Marshall, Will and Holly from the 70s Saturday morning TV show Land of the Lost. He does a recreation of the show’s theme song and two jarring audio collages to illustrate this point. there's nothing here yet but you can be among the first subscribers, hells yea!: https://barlowfamilygeneral.substack.com/?r=271i7e&utm_campaign=pub-share-checklist Hosted on Acast.
