    Watched the Netflix Led Zeppelin film - enjoyed it a lot. Some top pop facts, such as John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page both played on Goldfinger with Shirley Bassey. I would've shortened the live footage - you only really enjoy a lengthy guitar solo if you're off your tits, or you're a guitar nerd.

    >“Noncitizen voting in a federal election is a federal crime, and knowingly facilitating such conduct is equally unlawful,” McCotter wrote in a letter to county officials and California Secretary of State Shirley Weber that was obtained by the Associated Press. “If persons knowingly tabulate ballots cast by individuals identified by federal agencies as noncitizens, they risk becoming aiders and abettors to a federal crime.” Here it is.

    The best, and most emotionally genuine moment of the film for me is when Shirley climbs down from her upper berth on the train to "cuddle" w/ Stanwyck after the mean girls gossip. It's a portrayal of absolute unconditional love, the kind we should all hope to achieve in life.
