Wow! what a family - see previous post by businessgypsy from Wiki - amazing talent. On the album this great track is called "Dead Already". His latest movie was the new James Bond - "Skyfall", all available on Spotify.  |

Maybe more middle-aged men should watch it so that they grow up instead of trying vainly and sadly (both meanings of that word) to recapture lost youth by riding fast motorbikes and chatting up 20-year-olds. Did you forget about the middle-aged woman banging the Realty King? The movie was a critique about many different parts of society. Interesting how that one stuck in your craw. |

Dude can write music, and no electric guitars, either.
Had to fetch this from IMDB, as Lester walks in on his wife Carolyn and Buddy, the Real Estate King, in bed:
Carolyn Burnham: Uh, Buddy, this is my...
Lester Burnham: Her husband. We've met before, but something tells me you're going to remember me this time.

One of the best composers ever.
TOOO BAD Bill never plays some Basil Poledouris' stuff. I tried soooo many times to have him play some Conan The Barbarian tune, even the very day of the composer's death...
