The following are just some items that caught my interest that I’m not talking about at Philly Future. Before I run off, let me recommend catching “Walk The Line”. A powerful movie on many, many levels. Richelle and I saw it the day before our anniversary, and it fit. See Hurt at VH1. It’s getting harder and harder to find this online, which is a shame, considering that this video, and his cover of the NIN original, moved me more musically, than anything in years. How does it make you feel when you watch and hear it?

I saw Walk the Line too, and have to say I was more impressed than I thought I’d thought I’d be with Joaquin Phoenix. I thought the leads did a great job, almost channeling Johnny and June Carter Cash on stage.
And the video is absolutely haunting. I hadn’t seen it since just before I bought the album a couple years ago, but it still sticks. It’s one of those cases where I liked the original version of the song, but I like the cover a little better.
Same with me Howard. I actually like the cover better.
