Fathers Day is just around the corner.  Thinking about getting my old man a copy of True Grit (the Coen Brothers version).  I bought him the Charles Portis novel awhile back - we both read it and loved it.  The original film, of course, featured an Academy Award winning performance by John Wayne (1970).  Fast foward to 1984 and D.C. musician Shawn Brown riffin' on the Duke in this hip-hop classic.
