--In the weeks ahead, I'll offer my reflections on the lyrics and music of an artist I truly admire, Joni Mitchell. Beyond that, I am becoming a fledgling opera buff, and am staring to study the topic in earnest. More on that as well...and I invite other opera lovers to talk about your interest in opera. I just purchased "Verdi's Greatest Hits"
--Just watched Hitchcock's "Vertigo" on Turner Classic Movies. Stylish and suspenseful, and ultimately chilling....cold, even. it's a hard film to warm up to, and the ending may leave you in despair...but as an exercise in suspense, it is extremely effective. Prior to the feature, TCM aired a trailer for the sumptuous and underappreciated "The Last Emperor". This is, to me, a classic epic as powerful and intelligent as "Lawrence of Arabia"; and I enjoy it even more.
