Today in History
As a life-long, diehard fan of the Denver Broncos, today is a day to honor the man, John Elway, born on this day in 1960 in Port Angeles, Washington.

Today in History
June 24, 1949
"Hopalong Cassidy" premieres on NBC, the first network television western. Many more would come, as the golden age of the western was just beginning.

Crazy Heart
Finally got around to watching this one, and I was not disappointed. It certainly wasn't a great movie by any means, but it's one worth watching again. Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal were great, he certainly deserved his Oscar. Appearances by Ryan Bingham and Robert Duvall (two of the coolest dudes on the planet) only enhance the movie. When it all comes down to it, though, the best thing about Crazy Heart is the music. T-Bone Burnett, along with Ryan Bingham and others, provided some excellent songs for this one, and Bridges and Colin Farrell do a good job of singing them in the movie. In an age where country music has become watered down and incredibly fake, the music in this movie is real. The constant images of New Mexico, especially the sunsets, made me realize how much I do miss the Land of Enchantment. Just an enjoyable movie all around.
