Just watching the Blues Brothers (1980)...

[CincyDem]

...aside from just being a great movie, there's a scene that is particularly painful 37 years later.

Henry Gibson, acting as the leader of the American Nazi Party, is bull horning on the bridge about white power. And the crowd is yelling and screaming him down. This is based on some true experiences in the late 70's in the Marquette Park area where the American Nazis won a court case to march through predominantly Jewish Skokie.

The scary thing is that this was unthinkapbout satire humor in 1980 and today it's mainstream executive branch policy.

(and Carrie Fisher is great, even if by her own admission she doesn't remember a moment of the filming).

1. Like looking back at the Weimar Republic after Hitler gained power.

How long before such un-Trumpian entertainments are banned?

2. One of my favorite movies!

It would be nice if something like this could happen to Trump and Putin:

When I went through Chicago on Amtrak a couple years ago, I was reminded of this scene! I couldn't believe how close the train passed by buildings and their windows! It passed closer to some buildings than what was depicted in the movie!

3. Absolutely. Tough to pick a favorite line but I think I have to go with...

Elwood: What kinda music you like in here?
Lady at the Bar: Oh, we like both kinds. Country. An Western.

and yeah, nothing like the El training running through your bedroom on the near north side.
