Borrowed 'A ROYAL AFFAIR' (Hoopla). In the early 1770's Denmark was led by a mentally challenged King and the court appointed a German doctor to oversee the King's rulings. The doctor was a student of Voltaire and Rousseau and was able to influence the infantile king to enact many of the basic tenets of the Enlightenment; liberty, progress, constitutional government, and separation of church and state. Unfortunately, the German doctor had an illicit affair with the queen, she became pregnant and this child became the heir apparent. Later the affair is discovered, the doctor is beheaded and it seems that would be it. But over a decade later the heir apparent becomes king and he reinstates the liberal policies and Denmark becomes one of the most socially advanced nations in Europe. A piece of European history that I had never heard about and made for a wonderful movie; with Alicia Vikaner (EX MACHINA, BLUE BAYOU), Mads Mikkelsen (PUSHER, THE HUNT).

***I made an appointment at Xfinity for tomorrow at 130pm. I had planned to hit Shoe Carnival and Walmart, but I can easily do this tomorrow. I tried to call Republic Services to arrange for a pickup or the monitor/speaker cardboard, but got no answer.

Added CCleaner to the PC. Two weeks for free and then it should revert to 'free'.

Makes the case that native Americans' influence in rock'n'roll music has been largely deleted from the history of rock; Link Ray, Charlie Patton, Mildred Bailey, Johnny Cash's banned Indian record, Robbie Robertson, Jesse Ed Davis of Taj Mahal, John Trudell, Ozzy Osborne's drummer, Randy Castillo, Buffy Sainte Marie.
