I'm easy.

In 1975, Robert Altman released his classic film, Nashville.  I have always loved his filmmaking, and Nashville remains one of my favorites.  This scene made a lot of women weak-kneed back then...including me.  ;)  Not too long after I saw the film, Keith Carradine came to S.F. to play what was a great venue back then, the Boarding House.  I was there to see that show...sitting in the front row.  I've had a soft spot for Keith Carradine ever since.

I wonder what ever became of Cristina Raines?  She was beautiful.  Anyone remember Sunshine?

August poem #25 is here.

I met Ronnee Blakely (from Nashville) while I was working on Al Lowenstein's congressional campaign on Long Island in 1974. She was very cool and loved politics...

what a lovely poem and thank you for the sentiment of the dailiness... need that today - and your stack of kindness over there - well...

can I say that your dailiness made my day - and your kind responses - keep me going through this art hop...

we never know - do we - the power of attentiveness and a kind word - thank you so...

xox - eb.

Nashville is a masterpiece. Easily, the best thing Altman ever did, and that's saying something.

Excellent performances by the whole cast esp. Geraldine Chaplin, Lily Tomlin, Shelley Duvall, Ronee Blakely , and Gwen [can't remember her last name, but she died of cancer].

Keith Carradine sure did play a shitheel in that movie, though, didn't he?

'I'm Easy' was one of the first songs I learned to play on my guitar; I had no idea what it was about, but it seemed very deep and that's what I was going for at 13. "I can't put bars on my insides my love is something I can't hide." Deepiosity par excellence! :) (must watch that movie again; it's going on the netflix queue)

Oh. my. gosh. You have just isolated my favorite scene in one of my favorite movies. I did not see Nashville until the late '80s, long after it was released, but this '70s era Carradine made me . . . weak-kneed is all I'll say. :-)
