That Thing You Do

It's been showing up on cable a lot lately and for the life of me I can't resist it.

What a sweet, sweet movie!

And great ersatz 60s pop music.

There's a quality about this film's honest, and love for the pre-Vietnam 60s.

I'm pretty sure it was a Tom Hanks labor of love and respect him a lot for it.

I'd love to do something like it.

Maybe based in a Motown/Stax environment.

Who wants to write the music? Brand new 60s Soul, Memphis R&B, a blind genius, and a Brit blue-chedelic-psycho-reggae-rock-old-folks-dance-marathon-on-heroin superband.

This reply might show up elsewhere because I did write a reply but didn't see where to post it. Anyway, we also like that film here in this family of musicians (I'm not one). My son said the music
