OK, I have to admit I was wrong about a film. A past Oscar nominated film.

I purposely did not watch the 2019 film “A Star is Born “because I don’t like musical films and Lady Gaga sets my teeth on edge. I did like the main song from that film so I had seen a clip that included that music.

But last night, I watched the entire film from beginning to end and yes, it was moving. It had great performances. Really stellar direction by Bradley Cooper. Fantastic cinematography,. And Dave Chappelle showed up in the middle of the film. Chapelle???!!!!! Sign me up! I had to check the credits to verify it was him.

I remain skeptical that one voice/one songwriter can become an overnight sensation, picked from obscurity but I guess it does happen. Chapelle Roan is the latest example I guess. Adele from decades ago…another. Most of those on top have been grinding away at it for years.
