The 70s were a great decade for me (marriage, a move to Houston, the birth of 4 healthy babies, etc.) and I wouldn't trade my experience in the 70s for anything, but I'm finding out more and more how much I missed while I was enjoying my life.

My boss gave me, along with my co-workers, an Amazon gift certificate and I spent mine on the 25th Anniversary edition DVD of The Last Waltz..."the finest of all rock movies" according to Newsweek.

I was a fan of The Band before I became a respectable wife and mother. Oh, they weren't in my top 5 or probably even my top 10. But spending time with them again in 2003 has been a really nice experience. And with the appearances of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton, I can almost forgive them for inviting Neil Diamond to the gig.

Totally not trusting my taste in things until it's confirmed by the experts, I visited Rotten Tomatoes, a site that I check often for movie reviews. I was surprised to find that both the Tomatometer and the Cream of the Crop gave it a rating of 100% Fresh! So now I can really enjoy it, can't I?
