Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) -- Ex-con Elwood Blues outraces the Russian mafia, the police and the FBI while trying to organize a new band.
"CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer" (2005): : -- A new strain of influenza has sickened at least 1,000 people in Mexico and eight in the U.S. CBS News’ Sandra Hughes reports. Medical correspondent Dr. John LaPook assesses this disease.
Been Down That Muddy Road: The Legend of Joe Barry (2007) -- Many lives, one man. Joe Barry. The name is synonymous with legendary rock and roll. And bad behavior. Few knew the tortured man behind the music, who struggled with personal and professional demons, giving up on music several times to pursue careers as diverse as pimp, preacher and mercenary. He threw punches and received them, shot others and got shot, was bitten by the snake and then spread the Word of God. But he always returned to his roots - the bayou country of Southern Louisiana, where he built his first guitar out of a discarded cigar box. This award-winning documentary weaves the stories of his songs into the colorful tapestry of a remarkable life. It transports you back in time to a place that is gone forever - the richly-colorful 1950's and 60’s music scene of South Louisiana and Southeast Texas. A time when American rock and roll was forming and rules were begging to be broken. Years of reckless living took its toll on Joe's body. But these years held stories which he ached to tell one last time. In 2002, Tuff City Records moved a studio into his living room. Joe's failing health forced him to limit his singing to one minute intervals - the album took two long years to complete. But Barry vowed to finish it, even if it was the last thing he did. Rolling Stone Magazine says of the album: "On this wonderful return, Barry is in old school form... singing with tender, fighting soul."
Make It Funky! (2005) -- A New Orleans Blues documentary in the tradition of Buena Vista Social Club that explores the traditions and heritage of Blues music. It includes a substantial amount of original footage from a staged rhythm and blues concert.
"The Early Show" (1999): : -- Dr. John Bendo, a surgeon at NYU's hospital for joint diseases, discusses the first lady's surgery to relieve a pinched nerve and how you can help alleviate spinal pain.
