The Dude

You did it! And my favorite song won as well. Although I must admit that the melodies of others from Crazy Heart run through my brain, even in dreams, as I begin the mental process of taking up the guitar as a rank beginner at my age.

You can see from my postings over past months that this isn’t the traditional post-Oscar blogger as I’ve even e-mailed the producers to get the movie out earlier here. It’s next door and I’ve seen it twice, bought the CD and while the movie was tough for my husband he loves the songs.

The book brought me home to my neighborhood and the lights of the city. Author Thomas Cobb should be commended for his work, also T Bone Burnett, Ryan Bingham and all the songwriters and musicians.

Congratulations to all, you’ve earned it. Cheers, Dee

Dear Mr. Bad Blake

The actor that played you in Crazy Heart deserves the Oscar, just as he deserved the Golden Globe and SAG awards. You even made me like actor Colin Farrell, for a moment at least. I agree that the relationship between you and Tommy Sweet should have been fleshed out more because the relationship between Bad/Jean was pre-destined.

One thing you might have done is re-kindle my interest in acoustic guitar. I’ve already figured out one of your songs and will work on others. And I’m a rank beginner, not like actor Jeff Bridges, who plays “The Weary Kind” on youtube.

My husband found the movie tough and a bit sad. It is, but I knew that going in. I went for the story and the music and was not disappointed in the least by either. And with Robert Duvall and the songwriters/singers, this is a film I’ve waited for with great anticipation and every hope was realized. Thanks, Otis. Cheers from a transitory Texas gal.
