To the makers of music — all worlds, all times

You should really watch Bill & Ted Face the Music, which is a surprisingly deep and good take on life and ennui and fate and earnestness and above all the importance music plays in everything. It’s not like Olympic Diving Pool deep or anything, but what could have in another reality been a Super Bowl ad is here an honest coda to a touchstone movie of the ’80s/’90s.

The icing on the cake is Keanu Reeves, one of the greatest actors of his generation who apparently wanted to do this and put his whole self into it.

It’s streaming on Paramount Plus right now, but also worth the couple bucks to rent it.

Be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes.
