Den Of Thieves 1 & 2
A word on my film reviews. Unlike my fellow film reviewers I write my critiques of film with one fantasy in mind – that I had the opportunity to say something to the director on the cutting room floor of what the final composition was going to be. I love all actors and all actresses…

Jerry Seinfeld.
The observer of the folly of man and our persistence on that path. I have always loved Jerry Seinfeld and I always will. The timber in his vocal inflections as he gets annoyed is a perfection of craft into itself. From his standup to show about nothing and then lately his obsession loitering with other…

Ravi Shankar. Genius, maestro, master composer, nothing quite does this man justice.
His music carries listeners to a higher level of transcendental existence. Most of us mortals will never understand or have any conceptual framework in which to discuss his work at length in an pedantic Western musical discourse and for me that makes it all the more enchanting.

When I was younger I knew Eric Clapton was awesome but I always had a hard time reconciling why and how. Was it the speed between notes…no. Famous for having the nickname Slowhand. I found it all very puzzling. Then I think one day I finally figured it out. Unlike most guitarist who riff in…

Many pints of Guinness guzzled trying to reconcile these tracks between periods, on timelines and by vocal sound. Billions of people have heard the songs of Bob Dylan. I went to one of his shows in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. It was one of the first shows I attended where cellphones were banned. The usher prewarned…

Willie Nelson. One part cowboy gypsy, one part genius, and one part ghanga.
The most sentimental country artist of all time. With decades of albums, concerts, and cameos he has a career like no other. People like myself love Willie Nelson so much for the character he is that we often forget the base qualities of his talent that make him so special. I think most overlooked is…

First Aid Kit. The most robust sister harmonies I have heard in my life that will blow you out of your seat before they melt you.
To start off they are without a doubt incredibly talented. They are the most talented female singers I have heard in years. Their loyalty to performing with each other and clearly rehearsed parts is a profound skill of both organization, memory and execution. An amazing sister duet perform some of the best harmonies I have…
