Hollywood Hot for Music Biopics...

 Read the article here:  Music Biopics 

I recently saw this article on Yahoo and as I read it, I thought, do I really need to see some of these biographies?

JAMES BROWN - Dont get me wrong - I like James Brown -- but other than his Living in America ala ROCKY - I dont know much about him...the bigger question is do I want to?

 JEFF BUCKLEY- Ok, Im lame, I dont even know who this is....
 
SAM COOKE- I liked Sam Cooke...loved loved loved Chain Gang, Wonderful World, You Send Me...all songs featured in cult classic movies....biopic?....Nah

BRIAN EPSTEIN - I think I would be interested in seeing something about the beginnings of the FAB 4....Im not sure if there are movies out there that exist about them.....survey says DOABLE.

ARETHA FRANKLIN - I get bad vibes of doing biopics when people are still alive...and who in the WORLD could even play her - maybe Jennifer Hudson?

.
MARVIN GAYE- I struggle about not wanting to know the depths of this soul singers world and what it became....I loved Sexual Healing and would have liked to see where his career might have gone after his comeback....but there are some things better off NOT KNOWING....

SERGE GAINSBOURG - Again, who is this PERSON?

PEGGY LEE - I dont know much about her - BUT WOULD LOVE TO!!  Is there any more of a sexier song than FEVER?? GROWL...Id love to get to know her in a biopic but not sure as the article states if I want to see ANOTHER outlet for Reese Witherspoon....

BOB MARLEY - this could be an awesome outlet for the right actor - I could see Academy Award material if this picture was written about the man AND the music...

QUEEN- OH. HELL. YEAH......nuff said.....Id take it any way it came...

TUPAC SHAKUR - Ummm...no.....I love me some Tupac -- but his world of gangster one upman ship along with Biggie Smalls and all that crew....I want to just continue to enjoy his music...

FRANK SINATRA - ENOUGH!....We all KNOW his beginnings, his middles and his end...I dont want to know anymore

Id like to know, where are THE RAMONES in this list - can you imagine?

Buddy Rich - A jazz drumming legend....stolen items!

Image
I found this shared on a local muscian's Facebook page.  Cathy Rich shared this on her Facebook page....upon further investigation, I discovered that her father was Buddy Rich, a legendary jazz drummer.  Please share this, tweet it, or however your do your social media....this guy, Don Bennett seems to be an asshole..... Several weeks ago I contacted Don Bennett who owned a music store in Washington state. He is selling a set of my father's cymbals that were stolen from us after  he passed away. I tried to explain that the cymbals belong with my family, not being sold on Ebay for 30k, as he has been trying to do for quite some time. He pretended he didn't understand what I was saying..and I explained further. I was very nice and asked if after he was gone and vultures were selling off his property without permission, how he thought his family would feel? He left me a vm yesterday saying he was not going to give them back, and would continue to try to sell them.....I&#

FANTASTIC CAT: THE HAMILTON, WASHINGTON, DC: AUGUST 14, 2024

  FANTASTIC CAT  They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc).

Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll" that offers “equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” the album earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold-out headline dates around the US and Europe, festival performances everywhere from Sundance to Take Root, and a song in the Showtime series Tulsa King. In 2023, the unlikely four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Wings’ “Band On The Run,” which prompted even more love from Rolling
