Who’s the Father of American Jazz, Rock and Roll, and Rap? Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys of course (classic music video of ‘Ida Red’)
This was the #1 song in the country in 1938! And it is said that Chuck Berry borrowed generously from this for “Maybellene”…

‘Titus Andronicus’ with Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming (video links)
Here are links to videos of Julie Taymor’s magnificently stylized rendition of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus with Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming, et al.
