Weekend Whats
What to Watch: “‘I feel like I’m the comedic voice of my generation,’ says Dave Burd before so much as our water glasses are filled … For the next several minutes, Burd, who performs under the stage name Lil Dicky, will attempt to delineate the difference between confidence and arrogance, an exercise that’s highly amusing in and of itself. ‘I’m not like, ‘Oh, I’m the f–king best rapper alive,’ or ‘I’m the funniest guy in the world. … ‘No, I’m more like, ‘I’m a passenger of this talent,’ and it’s funny to me that I happen to be born with these skill sets, and all I can do is be relentlessly responsible with them.” The Self-Proclaimed Genius of Lil Dicky. OK, this looks like a What to Read, but if you like it, then you’ll love season 3 of Dave on Hulu.
+ What to Doc: He’s one of the most highly regarded keyboardists in rock. He’s also one of the most highly regarded people in forestry. He’s also so decent and kind that, as Billy Bob Thornton says, “He’s the kind of guy who makes you feel bad about yourself.” Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man.
+ What to Stream: Every year, I remind you that the best way to experience a music festival is from your couch. Kick of the season with Coachella 2023 streaming live all weekend on YouTube.
