"Questlove is a drummer, producer, musical director, culinary entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author. What unites all of his work is a profound interest in creativity. In somethingtofoodabout, Questlove applies his boundless curiosity to the world of food. In conversations with ten innovative chefs in America, he explores what makes their creativity tick, how they see the world through their cooking and how their cooking teaches them to see the world. The conversations begin with food but they end wherever food takes them. Food is fuel. Food is culture. Food is history. And food is food for thought."

From the Hardcover Edition

As per Goodreads: "From Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of the award-winning hip-hop group the Roots, comes this vibrant book commemorating the legacy of Soul Train—the cultural phenomenon that launched the careers of artists such as Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, Whitney Houston, Lenny Kravitz, LL Cool J, and Aretha Franklin.

Questlove reveals the remarkable story of the captivating program, and his text is paired with more than 350 photographs of the show's most memorable episodes and the larger-than-life characters who defined the great host Don Cornelius, the extraordinary musicians, and the people who lived the phenomenon from dance floor. Gladys Knight contributed a foreword to this incredible volume. Nick Cannon contributed the preface."

Remake. Action. Adventure . Suspenseful. Great Actors. Strong Language.  Violence.  Tense Moments. New York.

$10 Million for 18 hostages in 1 hour . The clock is ticking.  Denzel Washington (Walter Garber) and John Travolta(Ryder) are two outstanding stars. Pairing them together was great. Strong acting. Smooth negotiations. This film will hold your attention from start to finish.

Memorable Quotes:

Garber's wife to Garber    "You do what you have to do but we need milk, when you come home bring a gallon".

Ryder to Regina, the train conductor:
"God put you on this Earth for one thing and one thing only. You conduct those people off the train... ...up to the platform".

Garber and Ryder:  ..(Ryder) "That's love right... (Garber) no that's marriage " 

Comedy. Great Acting. Racial issues.

Denzel Washington's first film (awesome actor from day one). In a world where racism is dealt with every day  this film will make you laugh to keep from crying. Some people will not see the comedy in this movie (sad but true). Even though this is acting I'm sure some of the comments are meant from the heart. It's shows how people will look at the color or your skin and not take a second thought of the fact that you may be a doctor, lawyer or even a very good person with lots of potentials.

Watched the wizard of OZ with my grandson. Forgot how much I enjoyed this movie. Really a nice family movie to watch.

Drama. True Events. Inspiring. Touching. Heartwarming. Faith based.

Today in 2021, as in 1986, the struggle is still real. It's sad that children go through bullying and peer pressures all while trying to get a education. The message is the same.. commitment and responsibility to our youth is and always will be important.  Education should always be priority in any child's life. We remain thankful to people like George McKenna and Joe Clark who didn't mind trying to reach struggling teens.  The film has action and suspenseful scenes. The music soundtrack is good.  The gang fight scenes look like they came straight from Micheal Jackson's "Beat It"  video (1982)..
