Movie Review...

"The World's Fastest Indian" with Sir Anthony Hopkins was GREAT! I can't say enough good about this authentic rendering of a common man's dream to break the world land speed record riding a 1920 Indian motorcyle. The movie is set in the mid-60's I think. Sir Anthony Hopkins is an acting fool. His character, Burt Munro of New Zealand couldn't have been more like himself than was portrayed in the film.
If there are only four stars to offer, I'd have to max out the rating system.
What a great movie....
Though not everyone will like "The World's Fastest Indian," I don't think I know those people.
You will like it, and if you don't...don't tell me.

Where were you when you first heard?

James Brown, the "hardest working man in show business," "The Godfather of Soul," is dead. Age 73. I always dug James, except when he was beating women or threatening them with firearms. I'm that way with lots of guys though. Kirby Puckett for one. His music has a great deal in common with Polka. Ever notice how every Polka song sounds JUST like the next one? Or the previous one? The only things changing are the lyrics. I swear James Brown cut ONE music track and used it on ALL of his hits. My fave JB hit was "It's a Mans, Mans, Mans, Mans World." And who hasn't shaken a love thang to "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." And, for the timid, there was always "Get Up, (I Feel Like Being) a Sex Machine."

James we hardly knew ye...
