...things--and more--in Harlan County and Anderson County and the West End of Louisville. And when leapin Wesley Cox and savvied Jimmy Dan Conner take it on the tube Saturday and Monday nights, it should become abundantly clear why it's just morally wrong for Wooden and Co.--superb as they are--to win the NCAAs...
...Python finally reached respectability this week, with a two-page spread in Newsweek. Apparently a second Monty Python movie, called Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is showing in Los Angeles, but if you're not going to LA for spring break you'll have to settle for this superb, incredibly funny film. Channel 2 has started showing Monty Python TV episodes and they've been phenomenally successful in the ratings, outdrawing even "Upstairs, Downstairs," so it looks like Dennis Moore and Mr. Verity and the Man From The Cat Detector Van will be around for a long time...
...Melvoin's superb fall production of Philadelphia Here I Come, the overlapping ambiguity between the two characters who play the schizophrenic selves of one person made for a rich interplay.

There could be no better introduction to it than the superb exhibition presently on show at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Momoyama: Japanese Art in the Age of Grandeur," together with its exemplary catalogue supervised by the Met's assistant curator of Far Eastern art, Julia Meech-Pekarik. The title, puffy as it sounds, is not (for once) a piece of museological bombast. The Japanese government has cooperated to the hilt, or tsuba, lending many works which are inaccessible even...
...Tracks is somewhere between the hard rasp of his classic period and the mellower country tones he affected after John Wesley Harding. The new combination isn't entirely successful--the way he whines "I--yeh--dee--aht Wind" is annoying and he hasn't yet recaptured the superb compromise of John Wesley Harding where he found a country voice that could express his urbane lyrics...
