Kicking off with a great LP by Gabor Szabo and Bobby Womack. #Deadheads take note, this LP has some crazy good jams on it!

This was used in the movie Being There with Peter Sellers. If you haven’t seen it, make a point to dig it out!

Nice! Yeah, that scene where he leaves his compound for the first time and they play all seven minutes of Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) is IMO one of the greatest scenes in film history.
I recently picked up the book, just as a reference point, well worth it!

@markmetz @vinylrecords I have the book as well. It’s a VERY short read. And it’s a very bare bones version of the movie. Sellers should have won that Oscar. One of the biggest robberies of all time. Hoffman in Kramer vs Kramer is in NO way comparable to what Sellers did.
Sellers didn’t even make the ceremony cuz he was so sick. He died very shortly thereafter.

Wow, I wasn’t aware of that history. He definitely should’ve won the Oscar! I didn’t realize he passed away after that movie, what a loss!
