I know the moment is coming. Itmight be when each member of theNotre Dame football team volunteers tobe the one who doesn’t play in the finalgame of the season, so there will beroom on the roster for determinedwalk-on Rudy Ruettiger (Sean Astin)to realize his dream in “Rudy.” It couldbe when Emma Thompson opens upthe Christmas present from herhusband in “Love, Actually” and realizesthat he’s cheating on her. Or when JulietBinoche says goodbye to NaveenAndrews in “The English Patient.” Iswear I’m not going to cry and, ofcourse, I always do.

I love it, too. Whether they’re tears ofjoy or sorrow, there’s nothing like a greatsob-inducing movie moment, especiallythose that lose none of their power afterrepeated viewings. In honor of all thatfabulous emotion, we present our“Tearful Hall of Fame.”

Best Tearful Family Reunion:Nathan Lee’s homecoming in“Sounder” (1972). Sentenced to a chaingang for stealing a ham to feed hisstarving family during the Depression,sharecropper Nathan Lee Morgan (PaulWinfield) is taken from his devotedwife (Cicely Tyson) and three kids, justwhen they need him the most.Somehow, the Morgans make itthrough the toughest of times, never

losing hope that they’ll see Nathan Leeagain. And they do, in one of the mostmemorable scenes in moviehistory. When Cicely realizes who’s atthe gate and starts running toward herman, there won’t be a dry eye in thehouse. Runner-Up: When The Boy(Phillip Alford) returns to dad JimmyStewart at the end of “Shenandoah”(1965).

Best Tearful Learning Moment: Atie, between Helen Keller (an Oscar-winning Patty Duke) finally figuringout what Annie Sullivan (fellow Oscarwinner Anne Bancroft) has been tryingto teach her in 1962’s “The MiracleWorker,” and a young and severelydisabled Christy Brown (HughO’Conor) proving his mind is finewhen he scrawls the word “MOTH-ER” on the floor with a piece of chalkheld between his toes in “My LeftFoot” (1989).

Best Tearful Sports Event: The thrillof victory was never sweeter than TheCutters taking The Little 500 BikeRace in “Breaking Away” (1979). WhenDennis Christopher crosses that finishline first, it’s a win for underdogs

everywhere. Runner-up: Ray Kinsella(Kevin Costner) asking his dad if hewants “to have a catch” at the end of1989’s “Field of Dreams.”

Best Use of Music to Make You Cry:When Andy DuFresne (Tim Robbins)hijacks the warden’s office and broad-casts the Mozart opera over the PAsystem for the inmates to hear in “TheShawshank Redemption” (1994). Themusic itself is enough to make youchoke up (and I don’t even like opera),but when Morgan Freeman’s gorgeousnarration is added to the mix, it’s almosttoo beautiful to bear.

Best Crying Actress: A tie, betweenJuliet Binoche in “The English Patient”(1996), who won an Oscar for burstinginto tears better than anyone, andJuliette Stephenson in “Truly, Madly,Deeply” (1990), whose sobbing over theloss of boyfriend Alan Rickman willmake you miss him as much as shedoes.

Best Crying Actor: Denzel Wash-ington in “Glory” (1989), of course, butlet’s not forget that 1989 was also theyear that Tom Hanks showed audiencesthat real men can cry in comedies, too,when he bawls like a baby (and breaksour hearts) after his canine partner iskilled in “Turner & Hooch.”

C L A S S I C V I S I O NFamily Eye Care

By Aaron Wright Graypop editor

The Billy Hartless Bandloves to perform.

It covers popular countrymusic, hit songs from pastdecades like “Johnny B.Goode” and Southern rockcrowd favorites — standardbar band fare.

Amid the gigs they play invarious venues throughoutthe state, the group hassecured a spot for themselves7-11 p.m. every Wednesdayat the Hilltop Hideaway,1105 N. Main in Noble.

It’s during this gig that thegroup gets really generous,opening up the stage and itsinstruments so the group canshare its love of performancewith the audience.

That’s right, it’s an openmic performance.

“We just figured it was thenext progression,” JasonEastwood, the band’sdrummer, said while taking abreak from his set a fewWednesdays ago.

Audience members arewelcome to pick a song andtry to hold their own with theband members. Guestperformers are welcome on afirst-come, first-served basis.

The drum set, PA systemand amps are available for thepublic. Guest performers areasked to bring their ownguitars and bass guitars,though, Eastwood said.

The band has been

hosting the open mic nightfor about a month and a halfafter seeing a similarsuccessful event in OklahomaCity.

Jimbo Humphries is oneof the regular contributors.Humphries also freelanceswith the band on other gigsas a keyboard player, but he’sout nearly every Wednesday

to tickle the ivories, as theysay. Eastwood said he’s thego-to guy when a guestperformer asks to sing a songfrom the 1980s.

Humphries would like tosee more performers take theinitiative to join the band onstage.

“We need singers, playersand bands that want to playin this room,” he said.

Eastwood agreed thatbands have a lot to gain bytaking advantage of the openmic performance. He saidthat, in the past, there havebeen times when entire

groups have come and testedout the stage at HilltopHideaway. Often, thesebands are invited back by thebar management to performon other nights.

Eastwood also said he’dlike to see more instrumen-talists take the stage.

“Singers are easier to findbecause of karaoke,” he

noted.Eastwood is in the process

of trying to promote the openmic night, playing it up onsocial media sites. He’shoping to draw in the studentcrowd, now that school isstarting back.

“Whatever I can do to tryto draw bodies out,” he said.

While the Billy Hartless

Band is working on develop-ing this new project, they’realso in the works of further-ing their individual band. Arelatively new band, togethera few months shy of a year,the band is currently workingon some original songs andexpanding the venues theyplay, Eastwood said.

The Grascals — “TheFamous Lefty Flynn’s”(Rounder) 2010

One of my all-timefavorite pop songs ever,“Last Train to Clarksville,”made into a No. 1 hit in1966 by The Monkees, wasrecently recorded as abluegrass song by one of thebest acts in the field ofbluegrass music — TheGrascals.

An award-winning six-piece Nashville-based group,The Grascals have justreleased their fourth studioalbum, “The Famous LeftyFlynn’s,” and included thataforementioned ’60s popnugget as the opening trackon the album.

And what’s great about asong like “Last Train toClarksville,” it lends itself tobe interpreted as a country-flavored bluegrass song, withits melancholy lyrics about aman leaving his woman togo, assumedly, off to war.

At least that is whatinspired songwriters TommyBoyce and Bobby Hart backin the day. And, plus, trainsongs work well as bluegrasstunes, just as it does on thedescriptive “Everytime.”

That said, the rest of thealbum — 12 songs in all —

is a bluegrass delight.And to get a sense of

who The Grascals are —Terry Eldredge and JamieJohnson sing and playguitar, Terry Smith singsand plays upright bass,while Jeremy Abshire playsfiddle, Kristin Scott Bensonplays banjo and DannyRoberts plays mandolin —just listen to the interplaybetween the differentinstruments. They workwell as a musical unit.

Those who like acousticstompers will dig the

Osborne Brothers-styled“Son Of a Sawmill Man,”while those who preferthoughtful, religious-oriented folk-country songswill particularly enjoy“Satan and Grandma.”

Bringing to mind theNitty Gritty Dirt Band, thetitle track, “The FamousLefty Flynn’s,” written byJohnson, is a tale about ajailed robber who meets ayoung fan who comes tofind out that Flynn isn’t asbig as he’d been told.

Hank Williams, Jr., joinsThe Grascals on “I’m Blue,I’m Lonesome,” a classiccountry song written by

Hank Sr. and bluegrasslegend Bill Monroe. Theresults are amazing. Roberts’mandolin work here ismighty fine.

The same can be said oftheir cover of Steve Earle’s“My Old Friend the Blues,”which features a beautifulfiddle solo by Abshire andsome pedal steel added forgood measure.

“The Famous LeftyFlynn’s” is a great album forbluegrass fans and folks whosimply like good, Ameri-can-styled folk and countrymusic with a subtly modernfeel.

Grade — A

One of best acts in bluegrass

Photo ProvidedThe Grascals recently released the album “The Famous Lefty Flynn’s,” whichincludes a bluegrass version of “Last Train to Clarksville.”

Who Needs JohnnySelf -TitledDirect Music Distribution

In-your-face rockmusic performed bywomen is some of thebest the genre has to offer.Wanda Jackson, Joan Jett,Sleater-Kinney and TheDonnas immediatelycome to mind.

Who Needs Johnnyfollows that sassy tradi-tion with its sound tiltedtoward the punk side ofthe gallery.

Who Needs Johnny isSamantha Haedrich(vocals, guitar and bass),Alyssa Clotfelter (leadguitar, back-up vocals)and J. Colson (drums).

The band’s name is justthe start of its contemptfor dog-face boys.

Most of the 10 tracks’lyrics on this debut CDare about the trickyillusion of “happily everafter.”

Why make a happy

face when you can shredthe jerk in a song?

The only tears thesegals will shed are thatthey didn’t kick Johnny’sbutt harder as he rocketsout the door.

Haedrich and Clotfel-ter came out of Colorado’sscene, which makes youwonder how such a greatstate could be home to somany loser guys.

“Without You” is agentle departure frommostly brash rockanthems that would bewelcome in all-ages VFWand union halls anywherein America.

Relentless powerchords and unpretentiousvocal ferocity are likethunder and lightning in“Over” and “Poison.”

If you need an antidotefor too much lame indierock by pale weepy boys,this girl power potion isjust what the doctorordered.
