DAD ROCK DIARY: APRIL 4, 2020


The Oblong Box (1969) Man disfigured by voodoo runs amuck. British attempt to replicate Corman's Poe movies falls short, but Price and Lee still class it up. TIL: Both JPII and B16 praised parts of African Vodun, but condemned its syncretism and other non-Christian elements.


One Sheet Words of Wisdom: The Amazing Mister Bickford (1987) “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” - Aldous Huxley


Dad Rock Diary: Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska (1982) Odd album by The Boss recalls Dylan and Guthrie while establishing some artistic cred. Laudable Lyrics: Lord won't you tell us, tell us what does it mean? At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe.
