Mo 5/4/2020
Up 645 am: Partly cloudy with showers later this afternoon- low 60's.
***Added LITTLE FEAT, HOLE, and BILLY COBHAM to the mp3 player.
***New battery in mouse and had a bit of trouble getting it to connect. Future problems?
Watched, 'ALL DAY AND A NIGHT' (Netflix). A young man in the ghetto of Oakland, CA realizes that he wasn't sentenced to prison for his crime, he was born in prison. His father tried to make life 'different' and it did absolutely no good, and now he sees that his son is 'sentenced' to the same life. The film misses the mark, but the theme is very ambitious.
Watched, 'SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY' (Kanopy). A young woman is nine months pregnant, loses her job, her apartment, and has nowhere to turn. I liked it, but less quirky and more mentally deranged.
My post on Kanopy:
"Before you decide on this selection you might want to refresh your memory about the definition of 'black humor'. According to Thesaurus.com it is , "a form of humor that regards human suffering as absurd rather than pitiable, or that considers human existence as ironic and pointless but somehow comic." And believe me this film is 'black as tar'."
1 pm: PC is 'Off' and will get in an early walk to avoid the rain.
120 pm on the walk. Up Westview, to Parkview, and over to Oakmont and Laurel east across Chatham. Took a right at the bridge and took the asphalt path to Wiggins. North to Washington Park, then Vine to Walnut and back to the panhandle. A loop around the panhandle and then through the park on the north side. Up Parkview and down to 940; Mp3- BILLY COBHAM, BLUE CHEER, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and LOU REED. TWO HOURS.
Read 'TRUE EVIL' on the couch and listened to THE BRAINS and RICHARD THOMPSON, 'Shoot Out The Lights'.
In the tub with more ILES and listened to THE BRAINS, 'Drunk Not Dead' and THE STONES, 'Blue and Lonesome', EXILE ON MAIN STREET.
Watched, 'MUSCLE SHOALS' (YouTube-1'51"). Biopic of Rick Hall's little recording studio a couple of miles south of Florence, Alabama. The studio recorded black artists such as Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and the fantastic rhythm section - 'THE SWAMPERS'- was composed exclusively of a few young white musicians! Rick Hall was not always right because he passed on The Allman Brothers Band. The Stones record, "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" and "You Gotta Move" in 1969. A terrific companion piece to, 'THE WRECKING CREW'.
