The Last Waltz

I have been talking about this movie quite a bit lately and I try to share it with everyone I know. Its a wonderful documentary about The Bands last show- which included performances with a number of other legendary singers and musicians. Check out this movie- One of the best parts is The Band and The Staples Singers performing The Weight together- it is amazing.

Good Reading

If you are looking for a great novel check out Kathryn Stockett's "The Help". This novel focuses on three women in the early 1900s in Mississippi. This book looks at the relationship between the black domestic help and the white women they work for and puts it into context with the political climate of the day.
