16/03/10

If for some reason your mind seems to be occupied with tangoing in Paris or your thoughts keep revolving around The Last Emperor, it is easily explainable. On this day, Bernardo Bertolucci, the master of Italian cinema was born. The director, who once called New York ‘The Big Nipple’ celebrates his 60th birthday today. 16th March is also the day when the last American state ratified the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. So, in case you are still able to summon up the energy to party on such a momentous day which happens to be the first day after the long weekend, some irresistible musical nibbles follow…
