The Blues Brothers 25th Anniversary Edition DVD is available today. I remember watching the movie as a kid (on TV, I think) and it sparked my fascination with the Blues and with Chicago. Did I move to Chicago just so I could drive on Lower Wacker Drive? Maybe, maybe. I had the special movie book with all sorts of made-up ephemera (the brothers’ records from the orphanage and so on) and all the Blues Brothers albums and more recently I had the “Collector’s Edition” DVD. And today I’m going to go out and buy another copy of the movie.
