November Challenge Thread: All-Stars Edition!

21. On November 21st, 1976, Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, and Carl Weathers premiered in New York City. Sly’s younger brother Frank features in the film and on the soundtrack (and the soundtracks to many of Sly’s other films.)
  • Play a soundtrack or something featured in a movie

Top10 anime on many lists. Influential longevity likely eternal.
 
18. On the topic of death, one of my favourite characterizations of Death of the Endless from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Universe comics. An immediate hit from her first appearance in The Sandman #8 she went on to star in two mini-series of her own, among many other appearances. The trade paperback for her first mini-series Death: The High Cost of Living featured an introduction by Tori Amos.
  • Play something by somebody who is dead.

I really wanted to play some Tori, but my Tori records are inaccessible at the moment so, instead, here's a dead guy.
 
19. On the topic of comics, there is the sequential art kind, as referenced in yesterday’s prompt, and there is the stand-up kind. But stand-up is not limited to just comedy, as my friend Mighty Mike McGee has spent the last quarter century making a career of being a stand-up poet!
  • Play some poetry
Dylan Thomas + jazz x peanut butter = ...



Iggy Pop poetry slam...



A really good record that no one particularly noticed...
