So flash back to 2001, a lonely kid flounders in his dorm room with no friends and a widening disillusionment with politics/the future of humanity. By some weird chance he stumbles on a tv show that he likes a lot that’s funny and has music he likes, but it quickly get cancelled. He is sad, but not forever and now he looks back at being sad and it seems beautifully silly. And in a state far away, a nice, simple woman dies of old age in her sleep and he is actually sad, but is an oddly comforted way. He thinks of the woman’s small town in the mountains down South and people he never got to know and the Carter Family and no more depression.
