![]() ![]() He makes a victorious return to the narrative just in time to drive himself crazy trying to keep the most volatile band in America to a schedule. Poor Rod, the gone-but-not-forgotten tour manager played by Timothy Olyphant’s wig. The less sorry Daisy is for what she did, the less I care about the pummeling her ego took in the cover story. Daisy told another person’s darkest secrets to a magazine because, in that moment, her feelings were hurt. Now, we can’t be certain Billy needed to go so hard with his criticism of Daisy to convince Jonah to kill his original piece (“head case” was particularly unkind), but I’m stupefied that Daisy doesn’t see a difference between what she did and how Billy responded. Neither of them is as convincing at burying their feelings as they think they are. Almost the second they see each other, Billy and Daisy start laying into each other about the ugly Rolling Stone piece, which is probably for the best. Luckily, they don’t waste too much time on proxy wars. To be fair, Billy has cut “Look at Us Now” - their first hit together - and “Regret Me,” the scorned-woman anthem Daisy wrote about him. Do the Right Thing is to see her, even before she starts nitpicking his proposed set list. First, they have to happen at a regular pace of days.īy the time Daisy arrives back in Los Angeles, kissed golden by the Mediterranean sun, she’s missed the album-release party, the album-mixing sessions, and the tour rehearsals.

The faster the calendar pages fall off, the less real these people seem. ![]() ![]() Episode eight, I think, seeks to re-create the hectic chaos of a nationwide stadium tour by squeezing months of tension into 45 minutes, but that’s self-defeating. Episode seven took its time to let the relationship between Bernie and Simone blossom as the friendship between Simone and Daisy curdled.
