Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

I always love the winners of the Documentaries...just as the music is being turned up
(aka "The Hook")...you hear a rant like:

"...and the plight of the migrant lettuce picker shall not be ignored..." Cut to bumper, commercial.

You should all watch Dogtooth. Especially if any of you like Haneke's films.
