Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) *

Laughably cliched and simple minded biopic of Queen, focusing on the trials and tribulations of Mr. Mercury who was quite the annoying diva.

Hey Buck!

I'll skip "Rhapsody" on your advice, though it was tempting due to Mike M's one time affection for the man and his music.

How about a review on your blog of the new E.C. record? Really enjoying it and seeing the man on 11/20 here in Stl. Was listening to the "Burnt Sugar" track and couldn't help but hear Gaucho-ear Steely Dan, a tune he wrote with Carol King. Since then have seen others reviewers say the same. I know I could never bring you around to the Dan, but hey, what's good enough for Elvis...

I have a podcast. Just finished the third show. Has been a cool experience, but a LOT of work to create something fun and engaging (I hope) to listen to. Would appreciate your ear on it. Think you would enjoy the first program, at least. Find it on iTunes or here: https://www.sluh.org/insignis
