Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude by Dan Aykroyd - ★★★

A nice, quick lesson on Audible I enjoyed The Blues Brothers the arc of gratitude. She I listened to it on the audible app. It was more of an audible of a more of an oral history than a book. Dan Aykroyd, Paul Schaefer, John Belushi, his wife met Jim blushe, many others narrate and tell their remembrances of the Blues Brothers movie. What an incredible movie and musical event it was for its time to hear the musicians take it so seriously, despite the fact that their front men were ridiculous. Comedians from Saturday Night Live showed that it doesn't matter what the job is, if you take it seriously and do it right, you have the opportunity to expand everything. Ray Charles Aretha Franklin, other legendary names who today are massive heroes, were at a low period during the creation of the Blues Brothers movie, and in many ways, thanks to the movie and the albums. It was a rediscovery of the blues and a main a rediscovery of these artists. The film benefited them far more than they could ever have expected. What should have been just a silly buddy cop buddy comedy movie turned into so much more because of the power of the music and the power of the performances by these incredible artists. Interviews with many members of the band, just a great way to remember the Blues Brothers and to remember their surprising influence on modern music. It's a quick listen and free on Audible I suggest listening to the Blues Brothers, the arc of gratitude, thanks to Dan Ackroyd for putting this together.
