Precious memories of younger days and a musical revival

Busy Philipps shares a sweet throwback picture of her and her friend BB when they were around 13 or 14 years old.

Busy Philipps, the well-known actress and television personality, took to social media recently to share two of her favorite throwback pictures. In these snapshots, Busy can be seen with her dear friend, whom she affectionately refers to as BB. The nostalgic images feature the duo in their early teens, approximately 13 or 14 years old.

Reflecting on these cherished memories, Busy expressed her longing for the days when she and BB lived in the same city, recalling the special bond they shared. Notably, they were both ardent fans of the legendary alternative rock band, They Might be Giants (@tmbgofficial), during their elementary and middle school years. The vibrant music of this talented group greatly resonated with them, even inspiring the formation of their own band: Purple Potatoes A la Mode.

Although their musical aspirations were admirable, Busy humorously confesses that the band's ambitions were hindered by a lack of instrumental skill—save for Emily's trusty kazoo. Sadly, this hindered their musical journey, and Purple Potatoes A la Mode eventually fell by the wayside. However, Busy hints at a potential revival, suggesting that it may be time to dust off their musical talents and lay down some tracks once again.

This heartfelt TBT post resonated with many of Busy's followers, who reminisced about their own youthful experiences and connections. The comments section was filled with messages of nostalgia and encouragement, urging Busy and BB to reignite their musical flame and share their creativity with the world.

Busy Philipps has long been admired for her infectious energy and relatability, both on and off the screen. Throughout her career, she has shown a genuine and authentic side to her audience, which has endeared her to millions of fans. This TBT post not only revealed a touching glimpse into her past, but it also highlighted the power of friendship, the enduring love for music, and the beauty of nostalgia.

As fans eagerly await any updates on a potential Purple Potatoes A la Mode reunion, it's clear that Busy and BB's connection transcends time and distance. Their shared love for They Might be Giants and their playful musical endeavors have left an indelible mark on their lives. Perhaps soon, we will witness the revival of their musical duo and their infectious passion for creating heartfelt melodies once more. Until then, fans will continue to support Busy Philipps in all her endeavors, eagerly awaiting what the future holds for this talented and spirited individual.
