It's funny you say that. I recently picked up "America-The Complete
Greatest Hits". You know, I'm not sure how often I'll listen to it
but it's been fun to hear some of the songs again. That said, I have
been struck by how clunky and/or silly (to my ears) some of the
lyrics are.
Back to the music in film thread...I just saw "Stranger then
Fiction" which I thought was terrific. But, it also has a few nice
moments with music. I can say no more. :)
