Saw the Eugene Jarecki film today (which I had been mixing up with the other Elvis documentary until literally after it was over, when I got some clarification from a friend)--fascinating. The very pointed Trump element is definitely heavy-handed now and again, but not to the extent (for me, at least) that it ruins the film. Chuck D is excellent. Actually, I liked all three viewpoints on the cultural-appropriation question: Chuck D, Van Jones, and David Simon. Still have to see the other film.

btw listened to the 68 comeback special today, some days that's my favorite music in the world. those versions of "One Night", it's usually corny to say music sounds elemental, of the earth, but dang if those performances aren't like that, like the earth groaning

Thought about putting “One Night” but couldn’t quite get there.
Really my ballot is just a snapshot of how I felt that day, that hour, except for my Number One.

The '68 show gets 5-10 minutes in the Jarecki film. The Colonel wanted 25 Christmas songs!

The Colonel should have run an empire of toy factories and left human beings ie Elvis alone

Euler do you have the results so I can help with the images? I’ll have several free hours tomorrow to help out. Will you do the rollout? If i’m doing it I’ll also need the results on Sunday so I can do both the images and the rollout simultaneously on Monday.

This is what I'm most looking forward to: seeing people's number ones.

I have never seen the Comeback Special video! I know the tracks and the pics well. I’ll try to watch it soon.

J. D., what you want me to do?

I'm sure this was said in a meeting somewhere: "If we can find a gay African-American man who has the Billy Ray Cyrus sound and the Billy Ray Cyrus feel, we can get a billion hits on YouTube."

Rock and Roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can’t help but POLL it.
