An FX show about post-9/11 firefighters in New York. Denis Leary plays Tommy, a veteran firefighter who can't seem to move on after splitting up with his wife and the tragedy involving 9/11. It's a great show that combines tragedy with gut-busting laughs. You already know Leary is a funny guy, but he proves to be a talented actor (and writer) as well. FX has done some great shows; The Shield, Nip/Tuck and now Rescue Me.

While it is also a popular show, "Rescue Me" is the BEST MADONNA SONG IN THE WORLD! A refreshing change of pace from Madonna's usual frothy, effervescent songs of euphoric love such as "Material Girl" or "Lucky Star", "Rescue Me" is not really a "Into The Groove"-like dance song or a bouncy pop song such as "Holiday". A song about a woman who cannot love, and feels like she's drowning because of her emotions. "You bring me to my knees
While I'm scratching out the eyes Of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise, And right when I am kneeling there I suddenly begin to care, It gives me hope that there could be A person that loves me! Rescue Me, It's hard to believe Your love has given me hope! Rescue Me, It's hard to believe I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope!" |
