Nacionalidad y año: Estados Unidos 1980. Duración y datos técnicos: 133/148 min. color 1.33:1. Aunque hoy día esté muy olvidado, en su tiempo John Landis fue uno de los grandes nombres de la comedia (género, por otra parte, hoy totalmente devaluado). Debutó en 1973 con la desternillante parodia de las monster movies de los cincuenta El monstruo de las bananas (Schlock, 1973), y después llegaron dos comedias de estructura clásica como Made in USA (The Kentucky Fried Movie, 1977) –clásico filme de sketches con guion del célebre equipo ZAZ, el de Aterriza como puedas– y la comedia gamberra de universitarios Desmadre a la americana (Animal House, 1978), después imitada infinidad de veces. También amante del género de terror, como atestigua su debut como director, fue el responsable de la popular Un hombre americano en Londres (An American Werewolf in London, 1981), donde fusionaba ambos géneros, y después ofrecería Entre pillos anda el juego (Trading Places, 1983), quizás su mejor y más equilibrada comedia, con Dan Aykroyd y Eddie Murphy, pero con una participación antológica de los veteranos Don Ameche y Ralph Bellamy. Después, poco a poco, el cine de Landis se iría desinflando con comedias cada vez más convencionales, como Espías como nosotros, Tres amigos, El príncipe de Zamunda, La familia Stupid o Burke and Hare, aunque todas ellas ofrecen algún gag brillante. Los actores John Belushi y Dan Aykoryd habían fundado en 1978 una banda musical denominada The Blues Brothers’ Show Band and Revue, dedicada a efectuar revivals de clásicos del blues y del soul. Aparecieron inicialmente en el show televisivo Saturday Night Live, y el nombre se lo puso el hoy célebre compositor cinematográfico Howard Shore. Los sketches en que aparecían se fueron alargando, hilvanando, y entonces surgió la opción de convertirlo en una película producida por la Universal. A partir de ahí, y sin haber escrito ni un guion en su vida, Aykroyd se puso y elaboró un libreto de 324 páginas, donde narraba hasta la biografía de sus protagonistas. Después, ese mamotreto fue pasado a John Landis para que este realizara a partir de ahí un guion que se pudiese filmar. >>>>>> La película, así, se convirtió en una comedia de persecuciones, casi al estilo de las obras mudas de principios del siglo XX con los Keystone Cops. A lo largo de su camino, Jake y Elwood se van topando con determinados cantantes, que se interpretan a sí mismos en la mayoría de los casos, que desgranan temas de soul y rythm’n’blues para placer del aficionado. Así, a lo largo del film hacen un recorrido musical estrellas como James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin John Lee Hooker, Big Walter Horton y Pinetop Perkins. Otros actores, en papeles breves, fueron Carrie Fisher, Kathleen Freeman, Henry Gibson, Twiggy y John Candy; y, como es costumbre en Landis, aportó un montón de cameos de gente famosa, como fueron Steven Spielberg, Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman), Mr. T (del Equipo A) o el propio realizador… La película alcanzó un gran éxito, tanto de público como de crítica, y originó una secuela inferior en 1998, Blues Brothers 2000, con Dan Aykroyd repitiendo su papel, pero notándose la ausencia de John Belushi, fallecido en 1982 a consecuencia de una doble inyección de cocaína y heroína. Recientemente se hizo una edición especial en DVD añadiendo 18 minutos más de metraje, previamente eliminado, con escenas nuevas o ya existentes ampliadas. Originalmente pretendía durar tres horas y tener un intermedio, como los grandes clásicos tipo Ben-Hur. Carlos Díaz Maroto.

  • Blues Brothers Tribute Band
    Blues Brothers Tribute Band Oggetto: Presentazione Blenda Blues Band Nell’ambito delle manifestazioni organizzate dal Comune di Sanremo per la serata di Capodanno, spicca l’esibizione, prevista in Piazza San Siro, di una delle più amate tribute band della Liguria, la Blenda Blues Band, con uno spettacolo adrenalinico “The Blues Brothers Show….We are back”. La Blenda Blues Band è composta di dodici elementi e propone uno show di quasi tre ore, basato sulle musiche del famoso film di John Landis “The Blues Brothers”, con uno spettacolo non solo musicale, ma anche scenico. Grazie alle coreografie della sezione fiati e ad un rapporto immediato col pubblico, infatti, il gruppo riesce ad instaurare un incredibile feeling tra palco e platea. Un repertorio esplosivo, comprendente i grandi classici del soul e rhythm and blues, che i celeberrimi Fratelli Blues hanno riportato agli antichi fasti nell’immortale film del 1981, al quale sarà impossibile resistere e restare fermi. L'attività e l'esperienza live della Blenda Blues Band, che ha all'attivo più' di quattrocento concerti, culmina con la partecipazione a manifestazioni di livello nazionale: “Emergenza Rock” a Firenze, “Bordighera Jazz & Blues”, affiancati a stars quali Dirotta su Cuba, Paolo Belli, Trilok Gurtu e “La festa della musica” a Genova sullo stesso palco di Ligabue ed Eros Ramazzotti. Alla storia sono passati, inoltre, due concerti con l'attore-regista Francesco Nuti che non riuscendo a starsene in poltrona a godersi lo spettacolo, ne è divenuto mattatore, affiatatissimo con il resto della band. Il 2011, dopo un breve periodo d’inattività, segna il ritorno, a furor di popolo, con uno spettacolo dal titolo "We are back" della big band più amata della Riviera Ligure, con una serie di strepitosi concerti che li ha portati ad esibirsi anche a Montecarlo, durante i festeggiamenti per il matrimonio del Principe Alberto.

  • Steve Cropper | Primary Wave Music
    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

  • Noodle Trivia
    Noodle Trivia The Slippery Noodle Inn was originally founded in 1850 as the Tremont House. At that time it was a roadhouse (predecessor to the Holiday Inn) and a bar. It has traditionally been owned by people of German descent and it was one of the first German clubs in Indianapolis. The Noodle has been through several name changes over the years. In the 1860's the name was changed to the Concordia House. This name came from the first German Lutheran immigrant ship to land in the new world (the Concord). As a side note, there is a cemetery on south Meridian Street named Concordia. In later years the name was changed to the Germania House. It remained the Germania House until the start of World War I at which time German associations were to be avoided: so the owner, Louis Beck, changed the name to Beck's Saloon. Prior to Prohibition, Walter Moore purchased the saloon and named it Moore's Beer Tavern. During Prohibition it was renamed Moore's Restaurant (although beer was still made in the basement.) After Prohibition ended in 1935, it was renamed Moore's Beer Tavern. In the late 1940's Boris Petercheff purchased the saloon. Another side note, Boris's son piloted the helicopter for President Lyndon B. Johnson when he came to town for the ground breaking of the downtown Post Office. He was killed shortly thereafter while test piloting an experimental jet. Boris ran the tavern until early 1963 when Emelia Finehout, the property owner took over. She found out all too quickly that she did not enjoy running a tavern, and promptly put the business up for sale.
