If you are coming here from Karoli’s blog, I am sorry – nothing (much) political here. 

On the rare occasion (5+ days a week at 3pm Central Time) I talk politics I do it on NewsGang Live – not here.

But Karoli knows I love and respect her, even when we differ in opinion.

And that is what makes her great, and NewsGang Live amazing.  Anyone can talk.  All opinions are allowed.

That is a powerful thing.

So if you want to know how I feel about politics, and WTF Karoli is referencing, go listen to the show – join the chat.  Call me out.

Just don’t expect me to address these things here. 

It isn’t the place for it.  Not for me, anyway.

I watched this movie this morning – it was lent by a friend, and I had no idea what it was about. 

It is a musical.

And normally that would have ended my review (and viewing) – there are few musicals I have enjoyed enough to watch all the way through.

If you enjoy music by The Beatles you will almost certainly enjoy this film. 

The movie is a kaleidoscope of the sounds and images of the turbulent 1960’s.  I really enjoyed not just the sound track, but the storyline.

Definitely worth a watch.
