. . . the road, just run over it!" is the one punch line of THE BLUES ACCORDIN' TO LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS. Moments earlier the title character is shown murdering a rare yellow, green and blue "snake-snake." This War on Nature by the "Blues Man" depicted here leaves far more methane emitted into the Planet's atmosphere from the mounds of innocent critters slaughtered by these Blues Brothers than all of America's coal, gas and oil consumption combined. Obviously, one stinking rotting pig carcass more than outweighs each and every invisible fume released by 10,000 tanker trucks worth of Premium Gasoline. Everyone pictured during THE BLUES could pass for denizens of some nefarious foreign land around Mexico, Central and South America or Africa. The average American will perceive this flick's shooting location as a "No Go Zone." I accidently strayed into one such N. G. Z. As an ill-fated pedestrian in North Charleston, SC, a while back and got stoned immediately for being the wrong hue. Luckily, I was able to outrun the mob of miscreants chucking rocks and hard apples at my head.
