IMHO STTMP was a masterpiece. As a long time fan of the TV series, it had been years since we'd seen an episode of the show, so the movie was much anticipated. Its difficult to express the joy it created on it's first screening. The homage to 2001 was genius. The only time any film ever got close.

Shortning Bread is an old time traditional black folk song. It has no connection to Monkey Man apart from a common three chord rhythm pattern.
Wilson would have simply made a new version of a traditional arrangement that was public domain and needed no royalty payments or permission.

I looked into setting up a "Reggae group" like we share on FB but it's a whole rigmarole of coding and data so I gave up - maybe I'll try again sometime.
Another thing is it only allows limited t

Let's hope so, but who replaces him? Vance is even more extreme and he has more intelligence than the deranged orange loony. There needs to be a mass movement, a general strike, to move the US back to some sense of normality - and Musk needs to be imprisoned for his blatant criminality.
