You should check out Todd Haynes' film, Superstar. He tells Karen's story using Barbie dolls. It's an awesome film.

I've had a John Denver CD playing in my car the last few days - my son loves it. He's usually more into "rocking out" so this has been a surprise but he's still growing (he is only three).

There was also a controversy with Mattel over the use of Barbie dolls and that Haynes used the Carpenters music without paying for it. Amazing that the film is available on YT.

As you have noticed, I have been turning Japanesa with my viewings this month. So you can imagine what a surprise it was when the anime, Whisper of the Heart, began with a version of Take Me Home, Country Roads sung in Japanese. I think it morphed into an olivia Newton John cover of the song.
