Casablanca: Wow!

27th November, 2017.

Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘bucket list’?

It’s a list of things you’re supposed to try and do, before you die: before you kick the bucket, in other words.

I … 

You know, if you have to sit me down, and say, “Paul, what’s on your bucket list,” I swear, I couldn’t tell you.

Beyond, say, getting a recent model iMac, I don’t think there’s much I’d have on there.

But the concept is one I know.

And, frankly?   A bucket list is something I keep thinking I should pencil up.

I’ve also noticed that bucket lists are the sort of things people want to make a contribution to.

Really.

You have to …

  • Do this.

  • Watch that.

  • Eat the other thing.

  • If you had the time and money — in between earning the money, raising the kids, and whatever else you need to do — to do so.

    There’s only so much time in the day, in other words.

    However, one thing I do know?

    Is that those oh-so-helpful bucket list suggestions include albums.

    I know one friend has suggested I give Die Antwoord a listen.

    Others suggest different bands.

    I’ve been hairing around iTunes and Spotify, listening to various bits and bobs: and built up a serious amount of electronica as a result.

    I’m also very aware that those suggestions?

    Will include a film or two.

    God knows how many people have suggested Citizen Kane, for example, or The Third Man.

    There’s one film that has cropped up, plenty of times.

    A Humphrey Bogart/Ingrid Bergman film made in 1942.

    One I wrote a teaser about, only a few short days ago.

    You’re right … 

    Casablanca … 

    And, yes: I’m thankful I looked it up.
