Music Monday: Crash into the Car Wash

Mrs. Kid and I watched Crash last night and I realized that it is really a re-make.

• A day in various intertwined lives in Los Angeles
• Racial tensions between blacks, whites, and hispanics
• Tensions amongst blacks, some of whom are more militant and some of whom are trying to get along and make it in the white-man's world
  
• Socio-ecomonic conflict between "haves" and "have-nots"
• Musicians being actors
• Cars

Crash is just a slightly more serious version of Car Wash (in which the recently-deceased George Carlin acted.)
