Last week I saw this very interesting documentary on Independent Lens about the legal battle surrounding the South African song Mbube, which was later turned into The Lion Sleeps Tonight. There's also a detailed story here if you're curious. Furthermore, while looking to see if it was going to be broadcast again I came upon the exciting news that End Of The Century: The Story of The Ramones is going to be shown on Independent Lens tomorrow night at 10pm (at least that's the time on Channel 13 in NYC, check those local listings elsewhere). I never got around to seeing it in the theater when it came out last year, so I'm looking forward to finally catching it. And speaking of the end of the century, or rather the end of life as we know it, those toady harbingers of the end times ought to have you scrambling to get Jesus into your life pronto, and reader Will H. has a link which can help you do just that. If you've seen my picture of Metal Squirrel, you know that I already have one of these sporty saviors atop my television (thanks to reader Teresa S.) to protect my soul from this approaching armageddon and can attest to the quality of the craftmanship involved. In short: recommended!
