La Strada
Just thought I'd let people know that La Strada can be seen in an excellent free stream at http://www.theauteurs.com/

"This… fills me with… [a] man."

How about "Steal my car, it's a blue Honda Civic"?

I hear Cologne now has a statue of his beard. And some teenager is using it as cover.

*Joaquin Phoenix whispers in ear*

Coolio Iglesias.

He's a guy inspector.

@Littlealex- I have the opposite reaction: the Apple earbuds always caused me discomfort, but the nubby ones sit comfortably in my ear and don't cause pain or irritation (aural chlamydia).

I received some Bose earbuds as a gift a few years ago, and- excepting the ridiculous cost- they are amazing. They have little rubber nubs that go directly into your earhole (which takes some getting used to), and sound as good as ear-covering headphones.

@ Mark84

::pokes Prison Wine's bloated corpse with stick::

I think the reason he played Folsom and San Quentin was more for the pleasure of the inmates than to spout social platitudes. These were guys that he identified with (correctly or not), and he felt like entertaining the marginalized was a worthy cause.

I think that the best starting point for Cash has to be his work with The Tennessee Two, where he originated the boom-chicka sound, and recorded his best songs, IMO.

@ Cpt. - Sweet. I was listening to Bossanova the other day, and was really appreciating it anew. Maybe I'll change my name to Dig For Fire.

Kidding, this is awesome news.

Rod Stewart had a number of albums subtitled "The Great American Songbook". And, if I'm not mistaken, HE'S NOT EVEN AMERICAN!

I agree with the other Canadian bastards, phel. I'm pretty sure some doughy official is coming now to revoke your citizenship. Seriously, though, I think it's a beautiful song.

Alcohol anecdote:

Unless, of course, you're from Canada- in which case: fuck you, non-American loser!

Me too. It's my favourite Herzog by far. I think it's his only fiction film that isn't a period piece, and his strongest plot-wise. It's hypnotic, sad, and funny all at the same time.
