Wow! Are the writers of “Remedy” big fans of “The Band”?? Not only was this episode’s title (“When You Awake”) one of their song titles (the song just before “Up On Cripple Creek” on The Band), but they also have a patient with the surname, ‘Danko’. — as in Rick Danko, who sang “When You Awake”. Hmmm… Then again, when the Band began their mid 90’s comeback, the lead single of their album “Jericho” was titled “Remedy” !!!
I sometimes pester the writer of this episode, John Callaghan, for music recommendations on Twitter. Probably safe to say the references were deliberate :)
Guilty.
Great catch, Stephen. Wondered if anyone would spot that.
Although the Jericho/Remedy thing is a happy accident. Love that song though…
