American Pop is an amazing journey through the family tree of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians and songwriters as told through the american music scene. Family matters, heirlooms, relationships and music. In my opinion, this is the best movie following a family tree throughout generations that has ever been attempted. That is follows popular American music is an added bonus, but at it’s heart this film is about family.

November 22, 2013 is 50 years to the day that then President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Fifty years is a long time ago, but for the man who lived for just a short 46 years, he did a lot for his country and the world.
There has been and will continue to be a lot of remembrances of the 35th President of the United States of America, but I for one am grateful for the path he started us on, in a speech before a Joint Session of Congress on May 25th, 1961 and reiterated in a speech on the campus of Rice University as well.

Bob Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone is making a comeback as an innovative interactive music video.
The concept is really simple, you’re watching TV and you have 16 channels available, but they are all different versions of Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, spoofing channels and shows all singing along in complete synchronicity.

Now, Hey Good Lookin’ just seems like piece out of time. Although the most recent Indiana Jones featured greasers this is at the other end of the spectrum. This movie is full of racial tension and sexual frustration. It’s a love story, an us vs. them story, and above all it’s a coming of age story about finding your way.
