"Carrie Anne," released by The Hollies in 1967, showcases the band's signature pop-rock sound with an innovative blend of steel drums. Written by band members Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, and Tony Hicks, the song reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 9 on the US charts, marking a high point in The Hollies' success during the late 1960s. The lyrics fondly reminisce about a schoolyard crush on a girl named Carrie Anne, highlighting themes of youthful innocence and unrequited admiration. The songā€™s catchy melody and relatable story helped solidify its popularity and lasting influence in pop music history.

In 1954, sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins embarked on an impossible journey. She had no money and no family, she had just lost her farm, and her doctor had given her only two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctorā€™s advice to move into the county charity home. Instead, she bought a cast-off brown gelding named Tarzan, doned menā€™s dungarees, and headed south in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. Annie had little idea what to expect beyond her rural crossroads; she didnā€™t even have a map. But she did have her ex-racehorse, her faithful mutt, and her own unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness.
Annie, Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, rode straight into a world transformed by the rapid construction of modern highways. Between 1954 and 1956, the three travelers pushed through blizzards, forded rivers, climbed mountains, and clung to the narrow shoulder as cars whipped by them at terifying speeds. Annie rode more than four thousand miles, through Americaā€™s big cities and small towns. Along the way, she met ordinary people and celebritiesā€”from Andrew Wyeth (who sketched Tarzan) to Art Linkletter and Groucho Marx. She received many offersā€”a permanent home at a riding stable in New Jersey, a job at a gas station in rural Kentucky, even a marriage proposal from a Wyoming rancher. In a decade when car ownership nearly tripled, when televisionā€™s influence was expanding fast, when homeowners began locking their doors, Annie and her four-footed companions inspired an outpouring of neighborliness in a rapidly changing world.

Identity (2003)
This is hands down my favourite movie with John Cusack.
This motel killer thriller is just brilliant. I have watched it numerous times.
The late great Ray Liotta also stars.
It appears to me that not many people have watched this exceptional film, so no spoilers.
Thrills, spills, mystery, twists and turns. It has it all. Definitely a top film of the 00'sšŸ¤”
