My mind was ever so slightly blown when I first read that the rhythm of the theme spelled out "M.I." in morse code…

Hey, worked for catholic churches for centuries…

On the other hand, Baker and Peter Mayhew seem to have gotten along really well which is just somehow adorable…

The man never baited a click in his life.

Pronounced "Alexit" for some reason…

I knew about him from the Franco-Belgian "Lucky Luke" comics… They were mostly meant to be parodies of cowboy tropes but the editions I read had a last page explaining historical context with old photos and woodcuts. So that's where I learnt most of my American history…

In Verona, Italy. I think he went there every year for a while… There's also a DVD of an earlier concert.

I was fortunate to have been to a concert of Morricone conducting a selection of his soundtracks 5 years ago. Seeing The Ecstasy of Gold performed live in an ancient Roman arena was an experience I won't forget too soon.
