As surprised as I was that Back to the Future co-creator Bob Gale actually responded to our question about the origin of Marty and Doc’s friendship, I could not have imagined the splash his explanation would make. This “scoop” was covered by New York Magazine, the Los Angeles…
We had no idea Back to the Future co-creator Bob Gale was listening when we asked if anyone knew how Marty McFly and Doc Brown became friends. It wasn’t covered in the movies, but here’s Gale’s explanation.
I have a good job.
I have a fantastic apartment that is better than the one I was hesitant to leave.
I’ve rejoined a church and have been welcomed back to the choir with open arms.
I’m going to start volunteering at a community theater at the end of the month.
All my friends that are married are in happy, loving, functional marriages and I adore all of their partners.
I am getting along with my family.
Netflix has Charmed AND Mad Men :)
I’ve gotten to travel a lot this summer, and now get to relax in the fall.

“Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We out of stories but please tell me

You gotta take it in
Ohhh this is gotta be a good life (x2)
This could really be a good life good life
Say ohhh got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could be a good life
Good good life ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh
Hoplessly I feel like there might be something that I missed
Hopelessly I feel like the window closes so so quick
Hopelessly I’m taking a mental picture of you now
Cause hopelessly to the hopeless we have something to feel good about.”
