The Winter Soldier, Twin Fantasy, and The Thing About Memory

If this seems like a niche, random comparison, that’s because it kind of is. But, I can’t really blame myself for it.

And of course, as part of the trans-man canon, I adore Car Seat Headrest’s Twin Fantasy.

However, what stole the night away for me was the induction of Jimmy Buffett.
