Fifty years ago this year, Bruce Blackman penned a song the he thought had promise. His new band recorded the 45 RPM and it was released in September 1975 and went nowhere. By March 1976, his car had been repossessed, and the rent was due. Then the phone rang...Blackman, a singer/songwriter, founded the Atlanta band Starbuck whose song "Moonlight Feels Right" became a top ten smash and remains one of the defining tunes of the 1970s. He joins OLLI's Chris Jones for a discussion of his story and his latest projects.

Mexico's film industry has long been one of the world's largest and most vibrant, giving the world glamorous stars, timeless popular songs, and enduring images of stark yet beautiful landscapes, social struggle, and triumph over adversity (though not without a few melodramatic plot twists along the way). This class gives an overview of Mexican cinema from its Golden Age of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to the experimental and often political Nuevo Cine Mexicano of the 1960s and 1970s through the industry's decline and resurgence in the twenty-first century with contemporary classics like Y tu mamá también.
