I may go off to eat dinner for a while but here's some deep thoughts on "the world's greatest movie theme": the "Ah-ee-ah-ee-ah, wah wah wah" coyote/wailing/Native American chant/whatever that starts off Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (1966...but maybe not released in U.S. until early 1968, an ugly year indeed).
So what does that kind of ultra-classic movie music by Ennio Morricone, the top of the so-called "spaghetti Western" genre, have to teach us as Democrats? Must be something...
I know Clint Eastwood is often Republican, but in a
recent diary, I noted he hosted a fundraiser for (Democrat governor) Gray Davis who appointed him to the California State Park and Recreation Commission! Good work CE.
Okay, maybe the lessons of just the music is a little thin to write about; how about the whole "Dollars Trilogy", or all "spaghetti Westerns", or all the work of Clint Eastwood? (Or of Lee Van Cleef, "Angel Eyes" the villain in tGtBatU, or Eli Wallach, "Tuco Ramirez" the comical and clever "Ugly" in tGtBatU?)
There better be something to read when I get back! Or I'll sic "The Man With No Name" on you...
