FREDDY MERCURY & DAVID BOWIE "UNDER PRESSURE" A-CAPELLA (VOCAL TRACK ONLY)
Some friends pointed me to this recording of the vocal track from the Queen & David Bowie duet of the song "Under Pressure" from the 1981 Queen album "Hot Space". One of the greatest songs ever if you ask me. Listen to the track below.
AT CLOSE RANGE
Sean Penn, Mary Stuart Masterson & Christopher Walken in James Foley's 1986 film, "At Close Range" is now available for streaming on Netflix for the first time. I love this film as a study in low budget (6.5 million), character driven narrative. Amazing script (based on a true story), great acting and beautifully shot by Juan Ruiz-Anchia.

THE AIRMEN AND THE HEADHUNTERS
​In 1944, a U.S. bomber was hit by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and the crew bailed out and parachuted into the wilderness. They were taken in and protected by members of the Dayak tribe - the "wild men of Borneo," who were infamous for their custom of hunting and smoking enemy heads. Months later, the airmen were found by an eccentric British Major who devised an ingenious plan to rescue the men. A crazy true story that's almost impossible to believe.
This would make an amazing motion picture.​
