"A true diva and genius, of course. This is one the best autobiographies I've ever read, recounting Simone’s upbringing in North Carolina in a non-segregated community; her schooling as a child prodigy by a Russian grand dame piano teacher; playing rough bars in evening dress and telling the winos to shut up or she wouldn't play (and they did!); to the absolute shock when she didn't get into Juilliard because of her color. By the time she's describing writing “Mississippi Goddam,” all my hairs were standing on end! A powerful woman, powerful activist, and amazing musician."

"Get off my plane!"
Mid to late 90s film, that is - essentially (and I hate to use this phrase, but it describes it oh so well) 'Die Hard on a Plane'; this is the one with Indiana Jones as the prez of the United States who has his plane hijacked by Russian extremists (led by Gary Oldman) on his way back home from Moscow following a Presidential visit and a hard-line "we will not negotiate with terrorists" speech given by himself - it's hard to imagine now, in 2024, that relations were ever that good between the two countries!
