The lives of a warren of rabbits, from the perspective of the rabbits. However, like most great books, it's about us. I have never thought about animals the same since reading it.

Jazz for aficionados
Jafant, here is something for those of us who are word challenged; it's a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1n8E3ntWUg Enjoy the movie. |
Ghosthouse, and Rok, since the both of you are so into the deeper meaning of "Watership Down", I sincerely wish you guys would clue me in on this deeper meaning. I watched the movie, looking for this deeper meaning but didn't find it; won't be the first time something intellectual has eluded me. Could you two highly enlightened intellects, cast a little of that light in my direction so that I might join you. Thank you. |
Since I needed a new cartridge, I took the liberty of giving myself a Christmas present of the "Grado Master 2", and I give it my highest recommendations. I'm enjoying LP's like never before. That also means I will refrain from those lively "new jazz, old jazz" debates. According to Dr. John, that great Louisiana Philosopher; "There are only so many croaks in a frog, so many barks in a dog, so many grunts in a hog, and so many beats in a heart". Seeing as how people younger than me been dropping like flys, I'm going to heed his advice and not waste another precious beat of this week heart of mine. I'm enjoying old jazz that sounds "brand new"; it's so coherent, I don't have to wonder "why did he do that, just where is he coming from"; this music sounds like it was made for me. Speaking of old jazz, I was perusing this double LP of the Max Roach, Clifford Brown Sextet, that is absolutely fantastic; the best sextet ever, bar none. While this is a double LP, you can accomplish the same thing on CD by getting "Study In Brown" plus "Max Roach and Clifford Brown"; that music rates five stars, but I know you already got it. I'm enjoying music like never before, and I know you're doing like wise; Continue to have a happy holiday. |
If you do not mind, I would like to recommend couple of films. I find them both to be excellent. If you guys find the time to see it, would be courious to hear your coments about it. The Oscar winner for 2014, foreign language film, 'The Great Beauty' https://youtu.be/koxRDhAQOpw Maybe the best film ever about pressure society places on us to find a soulmate. 'The Lobster' from 2015. https://youtu.be/vU29VfayDMw |
