Go see Nova's Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives. But hurry, because it'll only be up for the next week!
Go! Now!
If you still need convincing, Eels is one of my favorite bands. They are just absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. They can be strange, beautiful, sad, and funny all in the same song. Go listen to their albums "Electro-Shock Blues" (especially Last Stop This Town and P.S. You Rock My World) and "Blinking Lights and Other Revelations" (especially Railroad Man and Things the Grandchildren Should Know).
I can wait while you look up those songs. No, seriously, I'm on the internet now. I have all the time in the world.
OK, welcome back. Good, huh? Like emo for adults.
Have you ever seen one of those Star Trek episodes where they meet parallel selves? Yeah? You know how came up with that idea? The lead singer of the Eels' dad.
The PBS episode is E (the lead singer) finding out about his dad, Hugh Everett III. Along the way, you get to find out about wierd physics, things that don't obey the rules of physics, and you get to find out how E became such a sad, poignant person.
It's just heartbreakingly beautiful.
