One of the best songs by Talking Heads. This is also from their Stop Making Sense Concert video directed by Jonathan Demme. My online friend Christa may recognize this song since it was covered by one of her favorite groups The Staple Singers. Told you David Byrne had soul. ;-)Enjoy!

Lou Reed's 1973 album Berlin, a song cycle about the abusive love affair between an American junkie and his "German queen" Caroline, has always been regarded as one of the legendary moments from the first ten or twelve uneven, often confused years of Reed's post-Velvets solo career.

How much do I love Meryl Streep? Let me count the ways. She puts these other so-called "actresses" to shame. Ho can act! Yeah, I'm queer but that has nothing to do with it! Drag queens don't do Meryl because they can't! She's too perfect! And she's a chameleon! A chameleon of emotions and persona! Meryl was honored at the Film Society of Lincoln Center gala last night for her work in film.

Jonathan Demme-directed concert footage of rock legend Neil Young. Having just lost his father, turned 60 himself and had a rather nasty cerebral aneurysm, none of which interrupted the work on his latest album unless absolutely necessary, you might think the last thing on Neil Young’s mind in August 2005 would’ve been live shows.

Anthony Hopkins’ performance is at the core of The Silence of the Lambs. He scooped the Academy Award for Best Actor, despite being on screen for only 16 minutes or so. As a true testament to the terror of his performance as the cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Hopkins’ presence can be felt in scenes in which he does not appear.

At the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year Mick Jagger made the joke before anybody else could: “I want you to know that SHINE A LIGHT is the only (Scorsese) film that 'Gimme Shelter' isn’t played in.” I had written before about Martin Scorsese's Stones obsession with “Gimme Shelter” singled out in Exile On Mean Street - Or Scorsese & The Stones Together Again (October 22nd, 2006).
