You know they'll be certain notes hit ("just one more thing"). It's comforting as well as compelling.

I watched it just after Kristofferson's death (which I can't believe was a year ago!). HDS performance was heartbreaking. Doug Sahm brought some "vibes" to the film for sure. A film I will go back to.

I'm very sorry to hear about the death of film director Henry Jaglom. He was something of a legend. Tracks (1976) is by far my favorite film of his. A savage commentary on post-Vietnam War America.
