WOS4 Forrest Gump, a hateful reactionary movie disguised as a baby-boomer lovefest.


Wow, someone's certainly got his crankypants in a bunch today!   :D

sorry, it's really quite a conservative film, despite the nonstop '60s sndtk. Free Love: bad! The Military: good!

There is also the implication that, no matter what your cranial ability, if you just act in a positive way, then good things will happen. A bit too simplistic for my tastes.

OTOH, I do have to disagree with your characterization of Tori Amos as “Kate Bush Lite”. Sure, they’re more or less in the same genre, but I find them distinctive.

AL posted a 1994 video bonus track, Blur's "Parklife" (feat. Phil Daniels, aka Jimmy from Quadrophenia) which would've been a major BOS for me (and maybe a bustout?)  Oi!

The Offspring does indeed look like a bustout (good song for 10@10) too as well as Shawn Colvin and Weezer.  I think Jimmy Cliff too, actually.  She's played Parklife twice before.  If I didn't have the Beautiful People album, then I would have wondered about whether or not we'd hear anything besides "If 60s were 90s," but the rest of the album, sadly, isnt' too good.  They dedicated Black Hole Sun to Al Davis around 7 this morning.  Tori Amos has plenty of good songs, just not "God" (or "Cornflake Girl".)  My dreams of hearing Real McCoy continue to die a little more of a slow agonizing death with every 10 @ 10 1994 set.
