Maybe it's because I think Landon looks like Laird Hamilton, or maybe I was just in a mood, but I fell in love with the show Iconoclasts on the Sundance Channel.
The idea behind the show is that they match up two interesting and iconic people who really respect each other and put them together, not as an interview but more spending time together. This one was with big wave surfer, Laird Hamilton and Pearl Jam front man, Eddie Vedder. They have also some amazing pairings like Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu and Richard Branson, Barishnikov and Chef Alice Waters, and Paul Simon and Lorne Michaels!
This was so fun to watch. They followed Laird to Maui where they surfed together and talked about where the passion to surf starts...and then Laird came to a concert with Eddie and talks about his passion for music. Laird was saying how music helps him enjoy the wave and not be afraid. He has a song in his head and it slows him down and he can enjoy the moment. Eddie was saying there is no denying there's a God when you look out over the ocean in Maui. He also said the thing that blows his mind about concerts is to see so many people agreeing on something. I love that!
They're running them all right now so tell your boyfriend Tivo asap. Such an unbelievable show! I want to see them all!

We have the Sundance Channel and I must admit, I have never watched it!
I SO heart Laird!! and so glad he and Gabbi did hook up! PERFECT couple I tell ya
We stumbled upon these Iconoclast and loved them. Two people who appear to be such oxymorans-but yet respect each other-cool.
sounds like fun, tv junkie that I am...I'll check it out...
I have to see this! We love Laird Hamilton! Have you seen "Riding Giants?" Most amazing big wave surfing documentary EVER! He is for sure my hubby's most iconic person.
I have to see that. That concept sounds really interesting! I loooove Laird Hamilton - he is amazing.
I loved this episode of Iconoclasts, mainly because I love Eddie Vedder. I also liked the Chris Rock/Maya Angelou pairing.
I also meant to add that I think the episodes are available on iTunes!
