Smiling Through Tears

You know those movies that make you laugh and cry at the same time? I just finished watching one of those. It's a documentary called Young@Heart, about a group of seniors in a choir in Massachusetts that sing songs by groups like Sonic Youth and Coldplay and The Rolling Stones and James Brown. Kevin of The Kevin And Bean Show recommended this to me. It's not a vampire movie or a movie about a fat guy doing funny stuff, and still he recommended it. I figured it had to pretty damned good for him to do that, and it was. This choir sings for a group of prisoners and the looks on the faces of some of the inmates are really moving. It kinda breaks your heart. But watching these people in their 70's, 80's and even 90's is completely inspiring. I hope we're all as cool as they are when we get to be their age.
