Am I the only one who finds the films in the seven-part series Martin Scorsese
Presents the Blues getting progressively worse? I think the best film
was Scorsese’s on the first night of the series. The rest — beginning with Wim Wenders’ — have
been missed opportunities. Very dull, though I love the music. Here’s another take. (Free registration required.)
Speaking of music on television, did anybody catch Elton John this morning on the Ellen DeGeneres
Show? I’m not a big fan of his, but that was a real concert grand he
was playing on — big as an oceanliner, and at least he’s a real musician. Don’t forget to click Ellen’s Web
site. She’s got a clever routine on it that will make you laugh.
