Goodbye To A Legend
We couldn't wrap up our news section without paying our respects to one of the greatest film composers of all-time, Ennio Morricone, who passed away at 91. Writing the scores for over 500 movies is an incredible accomplishment, and his evocative vision for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly will carry on through eternity. Rest in power.
We're doing something a little different in this space this week, piggybacking on our note regarding the passing of Ennio Morricone. Being able to draw emotions out of your audience is key for any film, and Morricone was an absolute master of using music for just that. Perhaps no song captures the magic between film and music than "Ecstasy of Gold," which has skyrocketed to the top of Google Trends this week.
Of course, here's the Metallica S&M live performance of the iconic song, which is absolutely stunning.
There's nothing we love to see more than fans rocking vintage tour merch, and Danielle delivers this week. Love the post, love to see the great outdoors, and love that Guns N' Roses tour tee. Thank you for sending this our way!
Rock on.
In the realm of artists with insane levels of style, Elton John is right there at the top. This shot, taken from his home in 1974, is proof enough alone. The white suit. The bucket hat and bow tie. The rosy shades. The smirking pose in front of the piano. What you are looking at, folks, is a legend.
