...Stone Coyotes are pinning their hopes on this song to help them find their 15 minutes in the sun. Their newest CD, "Church of the Falling Rain," featuring "Odessa," is being released at the same time as Be Cool, and the band admits that they dream of an eventual soundtrack spot. After all, as Leonard himself assured, "This is shamelessly aimed at the movies. I want to see a good movie made. With or without Travolta, though I'm sure he'll do it." The question of the day for Leonard's touring pals is more along the lines...
...feel inspired to write the following: "There are trolls around here." I write this after I see a four-foot tall man scrambling around in the darkness below the tables.

But the high production values cannot overcome the predictable plotline; the resulting movie is mindless entertainment at its mediocre best...
...every conceivable major event that occurred during this tumultuous time. Now squeeze all this into a four-hour mini-series and try to tell a credible story. Ludicrous? Yet NBC pretty well manages the feat. Enacted by a solid cast and enhanced by a smartly used greatest-hits soundtrack, The '60s is clear-eyed, compassionate and surprisingly affecting. What it lacks in depth it makes up for in breadth...
