Clarissa, you're making me think I need to break down and get an ipod.

A question for people who have watched the movie in the past month. Other than "Water Walking Jesus" and whatever Jack plays on the harmonica, are there any times when Jack and Ennis are both on screen, and there is music playing other than the score? Most of the songs I can think of are played when either one or the other is on screen, but not both of them. Of course, they're out in the middle of nowhere most of the time when they're together, so it isn't surprising that there isn't music in the background. But there are a few cases where there could be music and I might have missed it. Is there anything playing on the car radio when Jack arrives at the reunion? Or when Jack and Ennis leave for their first fishing trip? Or when Ennis arrives for the second one, or when Jack arrives after Ennis's divorce? I don't think so, but I'm not certain.

My three-year-old has gotten into the "cowboy hat music" again. He's making me play "It's So Easy" over and over and over again. But he also had his own interesting
interpretation of "Angel Went Up in Flames" (the tune at the Childress benefit that sounds like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
So I got the title wrong when he asked what the song was -- I told him it was "The Angel Lost Its Wings" (which tells you that I've been conflating the Angel song with "The Wings" with the line in the book about the ministering angel laid out in the wild columbine, wings folded).
And his interpretation went something like this. The angel is looking for his wings, and there are lots of people in cars driving around, and then the police officer comes and takes the angel to his house and find his wings for him. (The End.
) Except it was more complicated than that.
I should tell him it's really got fire in it, and see if the fire truck gets worked into the story somehow.
