Film: Eric Thinks...
...
Interview with the Vampire
would have been a perfect film if not for Tom Cruise.
...Madonna should have been nominated for an Oscar for Evita . Just watch, she'll show up in some little film years from now as the grumpy grandmother and then the Academy will nominate her a la Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights .
...there needs to be a film about the life of British crooner Nick Drake.
...Julie Taymor's Across the Universe is destined to be a classic.
...it's weird that these actresses don't have Osca...

The King & Queen of America
One of my absolute favorite Eurythmics songs. The video and song are pretty much on target, even today. (Sorry about the weird elongated video.)

Music Review: Tracy Chapman, "Our Bright Future"

I just adore Tracy Chapman. Her voice is one of the most recognizable in the industry, and her songwriting ability is up there with the best. I want her to be my friend.
