Cadillac Record movie

Taking AMS 209 has been one of the greatest decisions i have made. Signing up for this class i had no idea about the history of music and culture of music. Since day one i have been learning about all different kinds of music and have found it really interesting and fun. The movies we have watched during class have great and i have since purchased both Ray and Cadillac Records.
Last class, while watching Cadillac Records i found it really interesting to learn about Muddy Waters and his rise to fame. From singing on plantations to having number 1 songs, rags to riches. Chess so far in the movie has been a real great mentor and boss to Muddy and crew. He took a lot of risks putting things on the line to succeed. Even though he gets all the profits he takes care of all his performers giving them whatever they need. Not to mention he gives out Cadillacs out like candy. Im looking forward to watching the rest of the movie tomorrow....

  1. Jasen-I'm so glad you're learning a lot from the class-that is all I could hope for as the instructor. And the crazy thing is-we've hardly scratched the surface. I'm sure you'll like Walk the Line too....so until tomorrow!
