soulshine: better than sunshine

Warren Haynes, Live at Bonnaroo

Never made it to Bonnaroo, but hope to some day.

Warren plays with The Allman Brothers Band & The Grateful Dead as well as his own band, Gov't Mule. You like the blues, you like Warren Haynes. Such a soulful player and singer.

This album showcases Warren & an acoustic guitar doing his songs, like "Soulshine," as well as covers, such as U2's "One."

Excellent stuff here.

Speaking of excellent stuff . . .

Juniors: we watched some clips of the "horror" film from 1931 . . . I mean, come on . . .

Anyway, by popular demand:




















Frankenstein, 1931: this is the one we've been checking out. The iconic imagery of The Creature comes from here. As you can tell, it doesn't hold up over time, but it's still 100% on RottenTomatoes.com. Great film for what it is.



Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, 1996: NOTE: RATED "R"!!Kenneth Branagh (aka Gilderoy Lockhart) directs himself as Jon-Bon-Jovi-meets-Victor-Frankenstein. Robert DeNiro as The Creature; he actually speak here, & the film is the closest we get to a true take on the novel . . . but it all breaks down in the end. Walton is here, too. NOTE: RATED "R"!!!











Young Frankenstein, 1974: Mel Brooks at his best. Just go rent it, stream it, buy it, whatever, & thank me later.







Sophomores: "Contents . . . " pages collected for points.

OR 1.1 collected for points.

Now it gets serious.

Bring your Vocabulary Workshop books with you Monday.

You'll have a good long weekend, & look "Forward" to "Friday."

(See what I did there? Huh? Clever . . . )
