This Time Tomorrow 1979
Jan 24, 202500:07:30Tap to summarizeIn this haunting episode of The Mono Logs, we reimagine "This Time Tomorrow" by The Kinks and "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins as a chilling and emotional stage monologue. Our protagonist, a man driven by loss and obsession, recounts a pivotal summer in 1979 with Justine, the girl who forever changed his life. That summer ended in tragedy when she was struck by a VW bus—the same kind of vehicle he now claims as his makeshift time machine. But was he trying to rewrite history, or was he unknowingly its architect? Sometimes, time doesn’t heal—it loops, leaving us to chase headlights into the unknown.
