He took guitar lessons for the next few years but his teacher mostly focused on polka, so he supposedly did not learn of a barre chord or a pick until his third year of lessons, lending to his unique playing style. He began playing guitar at the age of nine, after his parents denied his wishes for a drum kit. Homme also has ties in Idaho and has talked about his formative experiences there, such as seeing Carl Perkins perform at the Sandpoint Music Festival and the first time purchasing his own electric guitar (an Ovation Ultra GP) in a Sandpoint music store. He later discussed having to "create own fun" as a child growing up in the desert, stating that he did not start playing music to "get girls or make money" and that he assumed he would grow up to be a contractor like his father. Homme moved with his family on a regular basis due to his father's work, residing in many towns around the Valley. Cap has a private street named after him in Rancho Mirage, marking the original road to the Homme ranch, as well as a park named after him in an exclusive enclave of the Valley. His paternal grandfather, Clancy "Cap" Homme, moved to the area from North Dakota and was an early settler of the Valley. He grew up in a well-known family in and around Palm Desert, California.

And though direct historical references are made solely to the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the Holocaust provides an important background for the series, which is also illustrated by the frequent use of close-ups of Number Tattoos in other episodes and seasons.Joshua Michael Homme ( / ˈ h ɒ m i/ HOM-ee born May 17, 1973) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer.

On the other hand, Mike’s reaction demonstrates the inability of her surroundings to understand the meaning of the number that replaced her name, identity and history.Ĭonsequently, the series does not only show the struggles with the “darker side” of humankind. In addition, Eleven’s haircut marks her as a “survivor,” as well as her fear and inability to communicate her pain.

Furthermore, the number is directly connected to the topic of humiliating experiments with humans, thereby referring to the specific context of the shots. Correspondingly, the sequence is an allusive reenactment of the historical footage including the particular gesture as well as the close-up shot. Illustrating the coping of teenagers with hostile social environments, STRANGER THINGS indirectly refers to the visual memory of the Holocaust in a decontextualizing way that still aims towards using the symbolic notion connected to the migrating image of the Number Tattoo. In this sequence from the first season of the Netflix series STRANGER THINGS, Eleven, a survivor of “medical” experiments (an indirect reference to Magneto in X-MEN) presents the number tattooed on her forearm to Mike, who had discovered her in the woods.
