Every day in Calumet City people dance in the streets to Ray Charles. That's what I used to tell people when they would bring up the Blues Brothers when I told them I was from Calumet City.
All these years later, I am still amazed at how many people around the world know this movie. I was at CNN's HQ in Mumbai, India, four years ago and a 20 year old intern started talking to me about the Blues Brothers in perfect "Dan Aykroyd" English. I asked him how he knew the movie; he said that his dad bought it on VHS cassette tape back in the mid-1980s while studying in Chicago on a student visa, and uses that movie to teach English to all his kids. I mean, his screen saver was a picture of the entrance of the Joliet Correctional Facility!
In India, they burn all kinds of wet wood for fuel. Way too much smoke.....
The music group, "Hanson", had a song/video about five years ago (Thinking 'Bout Someone) that was, frame for frame, the scene from Ray's Music Exchange.
