Cinephile No. 580 "A Song For You"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

I have been watching "Austin City Limits" my whole life. In fact, some of my favorite memories center around my grandmother's house, ACL, and learning about legendary country acts and up-and-coming bands. As I have grown older, it has become even more important. With the death of MTV and VH1's music programming, there isn't a place to turn to learn about new music on your television. Sure, talk shows feature a band almost nightly, but nothing that compares to ACL. Which is why I wanted to see this documentary so badly. It pulled back the curtain on an American staple and in the process revealed how the Wizard of OZ (the ACL staff) continue to make music/television magic season after season. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
