"The Wackness"

Also, wanted to mention that I finally saw "The Wackness" the other day. Made me want to be back in New York eventually. The movie also included one of Ben Kingsley's greatest performances. Up there with Ghandi.
The movie was pretty decent and had an even better soundtrack. Most of the songs are rap from the early 90s except for this song called "All the Young Dudes." I think it was originally done by David Bowie but here it is sung by Mott the Hoople, whoever that is. Sounds like some character from a Dr. Seuss book. But the rendition is pretty good and the chorus is catchy.



Hearing "Can I Kick It?" by Tribe Called Quest while the lead character was walking through New York in the summertime was also pretty cool. I threw the song on my shuffle and listen to it as I'm walking to my class everyday. Although I'm not dealing drugs like Luke Shapiro, I can still kick it. Can't I?

  1. Bowie did write All the Young Dudes, but Mott the Hoople recorded the most popular single. World Party did a very faithful cover of it in Clueless.

    Good blog so far, kid. Whooda thunk it!
