As I don't watch TeeVee - the same is true for movies. Better uses for
my limited time left on this mud ball .... like reading books or
playing solitaire. Bv)=
OK, just saying that in this case, the movie is so much better than the book.
It wouldn't have to be very good to be better than *that* book.
Same as "Forrest Gump" is a lot better as a movie than the book.
... Get shopping while the gettin' is good!!!
An admirable sentiment. But I'm not a shopper .... unlike my sister
and my ex-wife. They'd go into stores "shopping" with no intention of buying a single item. To them "shopping" meant nosing around.
If I have a need I check price and availability, go to the store, get
my item(s), pay up and go home. In store marketing displays/clever placements have scant effect on me.
Depends on the store/need. I'll be in/out of a hardware or auto parts store fast but take my time and browse a craft or fabric store. Grocery stores--if it's a new one to me or one I'm not in very often, I'll
browse. If it's one I've been in many times and I'm in a hurry, it's in and out, quick. Wegman's--browse.

Not how I do things at all. Maybe it's a guy thing. I known the
layouts of the stores I frequent so I don't have to browse. Hy-Vee has
what I
think is a great deal (now being copied by Meijer) - if you buy a
minimum amount (U$30) they will pick your order and have it ready for
you at a
specified time. I drive in, a minion comes to my car and asks my name. Then s/he loads the items into my vehicle and I'm off. Sort of Wham,
Bam, Thank you, Sam"
If you buy U$100 worth they'll deliver to your house. That may be a
big reason they were the #2 stupormarkup chain in that survey list I posted.

I saw the movie, after it came out on DVD. The Doors did the music
sound track--mostly late 60s/early 70s music, songs I grew up with.

Alan Silvestri did the sound track. And used a nember of different
artists and licenced music. There were were five Doors tracks on the soundtrack. And a wiiiiiide range of others starting with Hank
Williams. And with
Willie Nelson. Bv)=
And, as you say, all pretty familiar - except the Silvestri stuff
written just for the flick.
Lovesick Blues by Cliff Friend & Irving Mills
Performed by Hank Williams
On The Road Again Written and Performed by Willie Nelson
Against The Wind by Bob Seger
Performed by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
