"greatest soul singer ever"

Oh man, this guy was such an institution in my formative years.

DINGOES ATE MY BABY was a great name for a band.

Despite its having become a go-to punchline for non-English-language prestige movies from the 80s, I still love Pelle the Conqueror and I don't care who knows it.

Oh man, I saw that film at the drive-in with my parents when I was a kid.
