Movies for Democrats Weekend Alert

[Lydia Leftcoast]

Another rarely seen film is on Turner Classic Movies tonight. It's Bound for Glory, a biography of leftist folksinger Woodie Guthrie, who came to prominence during the Depression as a musical chronicler of the country's woes and triumphs but who is remembered today mostly in a one-dimensional manner as the composer of "This Land is Your Land." Catch it at 9:30PM Central.

If you want to make a musical night of it on TCM, you can also take in Coal Miner's Daughter, the story of Loretta Lynn, at 7PM, The Buddy Holly Story at midnight, and Your Cheatin' Heart, in which Hank Williams Jr. plays his late father, a major country star of the early 1950s, at 2AM.

Also on TCM at 2:30PM Sunday afternoon is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which Jimmy Stewart plays a non-politician who is appointed to the Senate to fill out an unexpired term and who, to the consternation of the powers that be, starts to take his job seriously.

Lots of other fine movies this weekend, but I don't have time to list them all. Check your local listings.

Please give this a kick if you read it. Thanks!

2. Coal Miner's Daugher is good by Loretta Lynn campaigns for GOP

I know I have seen her mentioned as one of the celebs that always supports the GOP candidates..
