    I'll never forget when I checked him in at the airport. I knew who he was immediately. (When I see famous people I get nervous but then remember they're just humans)....BUT Danny Elfman is an exceptional human. I asked him quietly, "Are you THE Mr. Elfman?" And he said with a smirk and a quirk in his voice, "Well I'm an Elfman!" Anyway s little chit chat later for him never to be seen again. He was super humble and kind. Whether or not that's true on a daily basis, he was in that moment and it makes me appreciate his talent even more!

      I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr Elfman recently, he is very interested in making instruments and even makes some himself. Can confirm he is incredibly sweet and kind of shy and one of the most unique minds I have ever met, he thinks in such an amazing way.

    And the music of Beetlejuice was an incredible work of art.

    Oingo Boingo (the band that their former frontman is apparently legally precluded from mentioning by name) released their final album in 1994. It's radically different from every album they made before then and employs the resources and experience that Elfman and Bartek built up over the years from their work on Batman and Edward Scissorhands.

I mean... it's pretty much the same theme... ... am I crazy?
