“Well this is definitely Lower Wacker Drive. If my estimations are correct we should be nearing the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza.”
“That’s where they got that Picasso.”
“Yup.”
It’s got performances by Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and so many other legends. It’s got some of the best car chases not done by George Miller or William Friedkin. It’s got Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi at the height of their comic powers. It’s got Carrie Fisher with a flamethrower for the love of all that is holy. But most of all, it’s got the city of my birth, Chicago, and the way we love it. If for some reason you haven’t seen this wonderful slab of culture, get right on that. The Blues Brothers airs at 11am Eastern and Pacific on IFC (assuming I’m reading the schedule correctly).
To our wonderful commenters: we’re not sure just yet how much we’ll do what the Dissolve did, but I do hope we can keep this community going. Back there, it was the commenters that created their own community and their own projects–What Did You Watch Last Night?, LoveFest, The Dissolve Record Club, and so many others. I think we’ll able to create a space here for you to keep doing that, and you can start in the comments right here.
