I'm sure you've all seen that movie with some musician and the girl he falls in love with. Yes, it always is a male musician, which is just a bit sexist, because girls can play guitar and sing too. Also, there are never same-sex couples in those romantic chick-flicks, but my rant about sexual orientation and the music industry will come later. Anyway, back to the point. I love Music and Lyrics just as much as any other 12-35 year-old female, but it just bugs me how the 80's pop band member suddenly became an amazing song writer and the girl about ten years younger falls in love with him, like that would ever happen. I haven't seen Once, but I think it is a little more realistic, since it was pretty much homemade and is about a busker. Buskers are amazing and are not beggars, so you should actually pay them. And then there is Cadillac Records, the story of Leonard Chess and Chuck Berry and everyone else. I saw an ad for it in the Times today and all I can say is Adrian Brody always looks really hungry and pale and skinny and sad and I'd really like to take him home and feed him. So that's it. Sorry I didn't actually talk about anything.
