Like a Rose
In advance of the 2006 Oscars, I saw Transamerica - I tend to see most of the Oscar nominated performances. I liked the picture well enough. In fact, I thought Felicity Huffman should have won the Oscar. In my opinion, her role was much tougher than Reese Witherspoon's June Carter Cash, but I'm not an actor so my opinion doesn't count for much.* Irregardless, the highlight of the movie for me was when Felicity's character went in for surgery. A lovely Lucinda Williams song played. (Generally, speaking I'm not a Lucinda fan. There are a few songs of hers that I really like, e.g. Blue, but mainly her catalog is too, I don't know, car wheels on a gravel road for my taste. ) The song is Like a Rose. I tried to download it on iTunes, but it was only available for download with the purchase the entire Transamerica soundtrack. I wasn't about to do that. So I stole the song on-line. Here it is for you to download:

*My b-in-law Tom believes FH is a transsexual in real life. When he watches Desperate Housewives with my sister, he likes to point out the scenes where FH is clearly "tucking." Tom is funny like that.

This is exactly why we love Tom! And you too, of course!
I liked Transamerica. I don't know about the Oscar, but I thought that FH and the young actor who played her son managed to make the relationship seem realistic and complex...authentic. FH is a rather handsome woman.
