There's also a 1947 noir that Bogie did with Lizbeth Scott in which he plays a soldier who winds up investigating the mysterious disappearance and death of another soldier friend of his. I can't recall the title, but it's an impressive mystery with a more complicated narrative than your usual film noir of that era. He…

True,and it pretty much ended her days as a leading lady of noir film films, and deservedly so. Her career continued,however.

Douglas' reporter character in the 1951 Billy Wilder film Ace In The Hole is so much of a selfish dick,you want hin to get smacked halfway through the film,which is pretty good, but his character was still an arrogant dick. He does get his comeuppance at the end,but not in the usual way.

What I've always found interesting about the band (I always liked "Jealousy" better,even though "Found Out About You" is catchy enough in its own right) is that when the lead singer, who wrote both of the songs that because their biggest (and only) hits,wound up getting kicked out of the group due to his drug problems…

Crenshaw had a really good song called "Wild One" which I loved, that came out in 1985,and it got airplay on Detroit rock stations since he was a local musician at the time. Excellent Buddy Holly like song that surprisingly never hit the pop charts___in fact the album it came from wasn't half bad either. Also liked…

Shut up,right wing creep.

Yeah, right, you know it has nothing to do with that. A stunningly and beautiful/sad movie,though

The song is fine just the way it is—-it has a genuine feeling of time gone by forever. I was kid when it came out and was played to death on the radio, so that's why it resonates with me more. Plus, now that I really think about it, it's really a sad song, which is why it's probably stuck with me all these years.…

A voice inside my head said, "Don't look back, you can never look back,no,". Building The Perfect Beast was one of the great albums of the '80s—-I liked practically every song on it. Don Henley had a way (with his co-writers) of writing songs so real and down to earth, you couldn't help but relate to them and like…

Really? I love both those songs, and loved that crazy video, which was pretty disturbing when I saw it back in the day, but still very creative and imaginative, like a good half of MTV video were back in the day. Always interesting to hear how this song wound up being originally for one artist and what happened when…

Exactly—-Bowie's work reached through the underground/cult music scenes into the mainstream—-his music/image had a broad appeal that even, I think, he couldn't have imagined when staring out and trying to making a name for himself. Another interesting and cool thing about him is that he also approached films like he…

"How did the club not just evaporate and float up to a higher plane of existence?"

He just played a show near Detroit this week.

Check out Bowie's very first album, which didn't make a dent on any charts, or have any significant hits, but still worth listening to because late '60s rock/pop music is always worth listening to, as far as I'm concerned. Some of the tunes sound like they made or written for musicals, but the very last one, "Mr.…

That's true——even on a cassette, it sounded to me like the guitars on Raw Power were completely buried in the mix. The whole album still kicked ass, though.

Yep,it's one of their most beautiful and well-known songs—-turned out it's not a love song, like I always thought—it's actually about the desire after a one-night stand fading the next morning—go figure. It's off the soundtrack of a film they did in 1975 called That's The Way Of The World (the title track is also one…

Yeah, it was—-I was like, "Damn, she could have at least waited until his girlfriend left the room." And she was so overwrought about it—-but she had a right to be pissed off because her son had been holding something back about the situation to begin with—-his not being straight, for one thing.

Oh, c'mon—-it was pretty clear she was making a sarcastic comment, because she said it right after she was clearly pissed off about the fact that her brother or friend (I don't know which since I missed the last two episodes—-kept forgetting the show was switched from Thursday to Wednesdays,darn it) had gotten into a…

It damn sure is——I liked the first season (the finale was a real trip in itself) and I love the unique look of the show—-it looks as if it's shot on film, and in the style of a theatrical film. I'm liking it for that reason, as well as the show's frankness and acknowledgement of the realities of race among everyday…

True, and history shows that's been true in virtually every era known—-those are usually the kind of people who become pioneers and change history anyway—both men and women.
