oscar

Nate Silver got "only" 4 of top 6 picks right on Oscar night. Also, did not predict John Wilkes Booth joke.

God, what's almost as bad as Boal getting Oscar? Quentin. Idiot.

Ted Cruz issuing statement hitting Oscars for featuring pro-Communist "The Way We Were."

D.A. Penebaker, just honored w/ Oscar, really did invent modern docs with "Don't Look Back."

This is where I say my book on Upton Sinclair's infamous race for governor is (believe it or not) being made into a major musical.

songs

Pressing Issues: Nick Drake: Another Leaf Left

Amazing find: Great lost '50s songs from Nick Drake's MOM. Listen to 3, including "Poor Mom," very Nick-like.

Thank god we can't make out most of what they are singing in the "losers" song.

I loved the other films, too, but for those saying "Sugarman" not "political"--Rodriquez would disagree (see some of songs).

Glenn Beck endorses this song and any other mention of gold.

Now, to balance all that crud, take 4 minutes to listen to two incredible newly-found songs by Nick Drake's mom.

doc

D.A. Penebaker, just honored w/ Oscar, really did invent modern docs with "Don't Look Back."

I've seen all docs up for Oscar and each would be great picks. I very slightly favor '5 Broken Cameras." Loved 'Sugarman' tho.

On PBS tonite, doc on "The Godmother of Rock 'n Roll," Sister Rosetta Tharpe, 9 p.m. ET.
