I get up every morning, I've got three dogs, a huge backyard, I sit here and have a cup of coffee, a cigarette and throw a ball for hours and then I feed them and come right back here to check emails and do interviews and whatever so, yes, this is definitely my spot; I'm an old grumpy man with a routine," laughed Dead Daisies frontman John Corabi as he discussed the band's latest record called "Light 'Em Up," the mystique of Muscle Shoals, the importance of music history to musicians and more.

CUT International Film Festival at the Levoy 
"Short films for quick minds."
Short films appeal to quick minds because they offer a concentrated burst of creativity, storytelling, and emotion within a limited timeframe. For those who think and process information rapidly, short films provide an immediate and satisfying experience, delivering a complete narrative or concept without an extended commitment. The brevity of short films often leads to innovative storytelling techniques, with filmmakers distilling complex ideas and themes into concise, impactful moments. This efficiency aligns well with quick thinkers who appreciate content that gets to the point without unnecessary elaboration.
