Josh500 1,615 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 8th track from the JFK album.I love this piece. Whenever I listen to it, I get in a conspirational mood. What the piano and drums do in this piece is classic JW . . . unbeatable. Dennis Steals the Embroys tries to emulate this, and does succeed, partly, but never comes close to this original, IMO. Is there a written music to this available? Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I did not like the film at all, and the acting was too poor for me to notice the music.Which actors did you think were poor in the movie as I find your comment really really stupid. Tommy Lee Jones got an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and Kevin Costner for Best Actor. This movie had the cream of Hollywood talent - Sissy Spacek, Kevin Bacon, Jack Lemmon, Bob Hoskins, Walter Matthau, Ed Asner, Joe Pesci, Donald Sutherland. Granted a lot of parts were cameos but to say the acting was "too poor" is blatant ignorance to the people involved in an overwise excellent movie. The acting was so poor you couldn't notice the music?? Had you the volume turned down to zero or had you your hearing aids turned off??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acting was so poor you couldn't notice the music?? Had you the volume turned down to zero or had you your hearing aids turned off???Jeez, relax. Alright, how I amend my statement to this: "From the third that I saw, I did not like it. The actors that I saw ( not Tommy Lee Jones, Bob Hoskins, Donald Sutherland, or Ed Asner, all of whom I had no idea were involved with the film until Hitch's angry post) were not particularly good, with ( if I recall) over-the-top Southern accents." Regarding the score: No, I could barely hear it. Whether it was mixed too softly, my hearing, or just the scene I was watching, I could barely hear it. In any case, I got bored, and I changed the channel to Chiller, where "Family Plot" was showing, and I enjoyed that film a lot more than "JFK".
