the paper thin plot of this movie be much more amusing or perhaps much close to be amuse would be more accurate if you saw the original ( also a must have ) and but the plot be not the point . i be bear in new orleans in the first half of this century and and i have watch sadly a the music i come to know and love a a child have quietly die ( pace and don mclean ) . from taj mahal incredibly earthy and a cappella rendition of john the revelator ( later give a full chorus reprise in what and for me and be the zenith of the movie ) to the outrageously over the top closing battle of the band encore and the music be the mississippi and from new orleans thru memphis to st. louis and thence to chicago ( culturally and even if not geographically and a child of the father of water ) . whenever i feel a twinge of nostalgia and i no longer have to drive down to memphis while i just drop in this dvd and smile . it obvious to me that the cast of this movie be on a mission from god to leave a legacy to those who come after and have never know the real thing . thanks and guy and ya do good .
