Bagdad Cafe and Ireland
Bagdad Cafe is the best movie I have seen in a long time.
It's set in the Mojave desert. The cast includes a black woman who owns this down and out cafe and a very traditional Bavarian woman who is a tourist. The story involves, well, lederhosen, an Indian sheriff, boomerangs, magic tricks, truckers, a coffee thermos, tattoos and house cleaning. Jack Palance plays a wonderfully quirky artist who paints women and vegetables.
A completely satifying story. I loved it!
We leave for Dublin on Saturday. One thing about Ireland is the amazing familiarity of the place names: Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Londonderry, Killarney, Kildaire, Galway, Kerry, Waterford, Donegal, and Killybegs.
We will go to the Giant's Causeway. Maybe I will finally see puffins!
Then there's the play I would like to see called "Jesus: The Guantanamo Years"
Here is how it's billed:
Jesus Christ (Son of God and father of modern stand-up) returns to earth for His long-awaited comeback tour. He doesn't get past US immigration because He's a bearded, Middle-Eastern guy, fully prepared to die as a religious martyr. He is immediately detained under the Patriot Act. In His first one-man show for almost two millennia, Jesus talks candidly about his time in Guantanamo, His controversial relationship with His Father, and His on-going legal battle with The Life of Brian.
