He said something like this: "Criticism of this movie is pointless. It's like critiquing a third grader who hits his teacher in the face with a water pistol." Indeed. There are a few discs out there: I'm thinking of Leon Redbone's "On the Tracks" (the one with the cartoon dancing frog with the top hat); The Dirty Dozen Brass Band's "The New Orleans Album"; and Rebecca Kilgore's "I Saw Stars"- ...
