Saving Grace, starring British actress Brenda Blethyn (Secrets & Lies), is a crowd-pleasing comedy in the tradition of The Full Monty and Waking Ned Devine. Blethyn plays Grace Trevethan, a recent widow whose cheating husband left her broke. So her gardener, Matthew (Craig Ferguson), persuades Grace to grow grass — the kind you can smoke — in her greenhouse, and pot becomes her salvation. Look, it's not Cheech and Chong. You know where this movie is going every step of the way. But Blethyn's solid-gold charm turns Saving Grace into a comic high.

“Everyday People”

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
