Conrad - Hates All Musicals!

Yes, gentle reader, Blogger Conrad is magnificently PC when it comes to race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality and left-handedness.  He is, however, a horrid intolerant bigot when it comes to music.  In Conrad's narrow musical worldview, anything he likes is Automatically Awesome; anything he dislikes is Sonic Sewage.  With this in mind, let the lecture (also known as a bad-tempered rant) begin.

There are only 2 good musicals!
     Sad but true, and one of those you will not have heard of.

     The one you will have heard of:  The Blues Brothers.

Blues Brothers awesomeness renders captions un-necessary

  A slight diversion here.  Many many years ago, when the Hacienda was young, a younger version of Conrad was there, too.  He watched an incredibly bizarre film being played on the video screens, unable to hear the dialogue because the Hacienda - you may not be aware of this, young reader - was a music club that played very loud music.  Later on I learned that this strange, beguiling film was "The Blues Brothers".  This was made back in the day when John Landis was on top of his game.  It's a gem.  Plus it has probably the highest number of car crashes in any film until the "Fast and Furious" franchise.

(There will now be a short pause as I go to put together my Spinach and Bacon Salad.  BOOJUM! thanks you for your patience)

Your patience rewarded.
  
The one you won't have heard of: The Return of Captain Invincible

Alan Arkin.  Still a great actor.  Back then he had hair, as well.

Captain Invincible manages to be poignant, satirical and amusing all at once.  Christopher Lee makes a great villain, prone to opera, pandering and Associating With Evil Historical Figures.  Mostly set in Australia, because otherwise the joke about kangaroos wouldn't make sense.

     It's just possible that a friend from work might be reading this - in which case Hello Anna!  because my traffic figures were up yesterday after posting a link on Facebook.  I shall endeavour to do more of this electronic pimping after signing off at BOOJUM!

So - Tanks?
     No.  Not if Anna is reading.  Instead we have -

A Lovely Fluffy Bunny.

 Er - yes it does seem to be a lovely fluffy Zombie bunny but I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for that ...
