and . . . THIS IS THE OTHER FILM - POSSIBLY THE NUMBER ONE OF THE TWO FILMS THAT WILL BE PART OF THE VANCOUVER INTL. FILM FESTIVAL - "MUSCLE SHOALS"



DJZigZag TELLS US THAT THERE ARE TWO THINGS HE WISHED HE HADN'T TALKED SUNNY SWEET DADDY FONK OUTTA DOING ON THEIR WONDERFUL 2010 TRIP OF MUSIC REDISCOVERY TO THE SOUTHERN U.S. OF A.  THE FIRST "MISTAKE" WAS DENYING HIS LIFE-LONG PAL A BUCKET LIST VISIT TO A BISON FARM IN TENNESSEE.  THE ZAGSTER TELLS US HE CAN'T LOOK AT A PHOTO OF A BUFFALO WITHOUT FEELING THAT GUILT.  THE OTHER REMORSE-PLAGUED BURR IN ZIGZAG'S MIND IS NOT ACQUIESING TO SWEET DADDY'S NEED TO VISIT MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA.  DJZigZag FEARS THIS 2010 REQUEST AND SUBSEQUENT DISAPPOINTMENT FOR MR. WONG WILL BE RE-KINDLED WITH THE RELEASE THIS COMING WEEK OF THE MAGICAL FILM "MUSCLE SHOALS" WHICH CHRONICLES THE MUSICAL LIFE OF THE HAMLET'S LEGENDARY STUDIOS AND MUSICIANS OF THIS DIXIE TOWN ON THE BANKS OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER.  THE TOWN HAS BEEN CALLED AN UNLIKELY BREEDING GROUND FOR SOME OF THE U.S.A.'s MOST CREATIVE AND DEFIANT MUSIC.  FAME RECORDS AND ITS OWNER RICK HALL FEATURE PROMINENTLY IN THE FILM "MUSCLE SHOALS" AS DOES THE  SEARCH BY NEW WORLD AFRICAN AND POPULAR ROCK ARTISTS WANTING TO CAPTURE AND INCORPORATE THE "MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND".  IT'S A FASCINATING STORY OF BLACK AND WHITE SOLIDARITY AMID THE CAULDRON OF SOUTHERN RACIAL HOSTILITY.
OH, AND A HINT.  THE FILM IS OFFERED AS A "FREEBIE" WHEN YOU PURCHASE YOUR $12.00 V.I.F.F. MEMBERSHIP.
