“Shut Up and Sing”: Opus Cheers for the Chicks.

Yet another friend of mine, Jason Morehead, is raving about Shut Up and Sing!

I think it would be too easy to simply focus on the “free speech” angle of the film, though that is certainly an important one, especially in this day and age of a presidency that has seen fit to take elaborate measures to censure free speech. The film should ultimately be celebrated as a testament to such American values as love, friendship, family, and loyalty as much as a testament to free speech. Both highly entertaining and highly moving, Shut Up & Sing is a documentary worth seeing, even if you don’t give one whit about country music.
