. . . that Unca D has dialed back on his blogging. For those who care, Unc's most-read posting was not about politics or journalism. It was about a movie.
IF YOU love late-60s rhythm and blues, rent "Stax/Volt Revue: Live in Norway 1967."
It's a badly made film -- really badly made -- of a concert by Stax/Volt stars of the time, headlined by Otis Redding. The black-and-white cinematography is awful and the sound recording worse.
But, oh, the music! And the sight of these guys -- in 1964-style Beatle suits -- working a small stage. And the Norwegian kids: very white, very stoned, very not quite sure of the rules for cool head-bobbing.
