  • Summary

  • Resilience can be embodied many ways. In the case of the Beastie Boys’ 1989 album Paul’s Boutique, which featured Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun, it’s embodied by the fact that the album, a flop on release, went double platinum in 1999, nearly 10 years after its release. In the lyrics, they mention Bruce Willis who’s come to embody resilience based on his portrayal of John McClane in 1988’s Die Hard and the resilient stream of sequels. But resilience is important for everyone, not just albums and fictional cops who celebrate Christmas differently than most. Rachel Williams has been looking down the barrel of a gun her entire life – Gun Barrel City, Texas, that is.
