Van Basten II

Just watched it on DVD. I enjoyed the universality of the movie. The story was done in Romania but could have been done in Canada or many other industrialized countries. Basically it is the story of a guy who doesn't know it but is gravely ill and instead of having a system where people who care for the patient and the sick, we have a series of vignettes where everybody fails him because the because they prefer moralizing him, they have other emergencies, they're stuck in bureaucracy, or they rather play power games with their subbordinates. The scene in the hospital where the people refuse to operate him is as cold and cynical as it gets. I think this film should be required viewing for anybody who works in hospitals. Not because i think people work that way, it remains a movie after all. But because it reminds us that we're talking about a business about human beings and in the grand scale of things it seems to get lost for the profit of more petty affairs.

Even better, put a sticky on it. So it stays on the main pages.

They are something else isn't it ? I saw those guys last summer plus they had Joe McPhee with them, one of the meanest and heaviest jazz show i've ever witnessed.

Seriously how the heck do you do that. i know that on the reply page we have a place where it says insert image but when i press it i have a message telling me to insert the Url. Where am i supposed to enter it. Once again i remind you that you are talking to a guy who learned computer stuff with a computer that worked with a tape deck, we hade a thing called PET and then a Vic 20, so don't ask me too much and be simple in your explanations.

I use Can-Am, great stuff.

What a shame, still was producing great music, another one i never got the chance to see live

Saw him in february, he was in a fine form, very enjoyable gig.

I bought two months ago the Gillespie and the Eldridge sets timing is everything.

That set has become one of my favourite Mosaic sets, in terms of pleasure for a first time listening, only the Stitt set has beaten it so far. Then again there's a lot of stuff, i don't have.

The Goodman stuff is mostly Capitol sessions from his septet circa 1949-50

Just bought the Proper set, digged those Prestige sides and enjoyed the stuff he did with Goodman. Man, now i want to look for recordings by Goodman.

The truce by Mario Benedetti, a major book that was written in 1959 that still rings true today.

Hey, i know him, his real name was Doris Lussier and the character came out from a tv show. That guy was involved in Quebec politique and a good friend of a former Premier.

I'm currently listening to my latest acquisition, the Gillespie set, what a beautiful version of Things ain't what they used to be at the end of the third cd.
