Hi Jeff! I'm with you about the music ... when Phil and Scott talk about that, I listen and gobble up their insights. I like the High Art comparison ... saw it long ago, keep thinking to revisit it. The Yellow Wallpaper is another good call. As for the veracity of the biographical angle in the movie, I liked that most of it was made up.

Here is part two of this month's edition of "What They Said", where Scott Wood and Phil Dellio let me join the conversation. Here we discuss Shirley:

You raise a good point. Hamilton has resonance today precisely because it is Hamilton. But it wouldn't be "Hamilton" if it came out now, and that might make a difference. Having said that, it boggles my mind that this talented fellow read a book about Alexander Hamilton and thought, "I could make a rap musical about this!"
geezer cinema: hamilton (thomas kail, 2020)
Well, I finally found out what all the excitement was about. We actually had a plan to see this in London, but then travel kinda took a back seat to the pandemic. Honestly, I wasn't too sad that we missed it ... I didn't have high expectations, by which I mainly mean no matter how good it was, I...
I might never have gotten around to it, except 1) we just signed up for Disney Plus, and 2) it was Robin's turn to pick the Geezer movie, and she wanted to see it.

Thanks, Carrol!
music friday: heart, "stairway to heaven"
I am a very big fan of Led Zeppelin, and am happy to say I saw them in concert back in 1977. “Stairway to Heaven” is the song with which they are most identified, and I’m OK with that, even though other of their songs are my favorites (“Since I’ve Been Lovin’ You” and “Kashmir” come to mind). I ...
