Sunday morning while in the car with my brothers children (aged 12, 9, and 3), the song “Live and Let Die” came on the radio. I asked the three where the song by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney
The Bond film is interesting for various reasons. Like so many others in the series, LALD reflected the world around it at the time of its release. Images of the occult are used throughout much of this James Bond feature. Tarot reading, virginal sacrifices, and supernatural characters (like Baron Samedi) are on display as 007 tracks a mysterious heroin-dealer from the Caribbean to New Orleans. Jane Seymour made her major film debut as Solitaire who (as one may guess) is the fortune-telling mystic that reads tarot cards to see into the future until the suave, debonair secret agent uses a bit of his own magic.
So… like many items of popular culture, a song that was around thirty odd years ago has had a re-emergence of sorts. Funny how a three-year-old can make that clear. Once again, I am humbled… the movie Live and Let Die was released a mere 13 days prior to my birth. I wonder if my parents saw it in the theatre.

I decided to look up some things on James Bond movies. Bond fans of course already know this, but I was shocked to learn that Roger Moore is actually older than Sean Connery, and in his final Bond movie, A View to a Kill he is just a few years short of 60 years old!
Heh. McCartney was offered to do the title track for the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, but turned it down when he couldn’t find a good rhyme for solace. LINK
Ah, yes A View to a Kill (’85). The best thing about that one was the Duran Duran video. Showed ad nauseum back in the days when MTV actually played videos. Moore had out-aged the role by the time of this release. In ’83 Moore and Connery each had “Bond” films released… one official and one a better left forgotten remake of Thunderball.
