Jack Black was great in
High Fidelity. Tenacious D is fantastic. I enjoyed the "Diary" he did for MTV. Here's a scene.
Jack goes to a McDonald's Drive Thru and orders a Double Cheeseburger, Filet-O-Fish, Super-sized Fries, and an Orange Soda. He adds the fish patty and some fries to the Double Cheeseburger....then he eats it.
"It's like a cow ate a fish... and then I ate that cow."
BRC, as I recall, in South Africa, the term "coloured" means anyone of mixed race. It was a middle category in the apartheid system, though not only for people of black/white backgrounds. Many Indians (including Gandhi for a time) lived/worked in South Africa.
In music news, I hope Verve continues to release those remix albums. The remix albums are just OK, but they also release companion "unmixed" albums of the original songs... with a list price of $4.98. You get Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughn, Cal Tjader, Astrud Gilberto & company for slightly more than the price of the OM-like double-tall maccchiato.
So click the amazon.com link and buy Verve
Unmixed vols. 1 & 2.
edited to add: I don't know if Jack Black's ode to orange soda in his MTV Diary is a meta-ironic critique of race relations in popular music or just a sign that he's 10 short years away from being diagnosed with diabetes.
