Today, we ask you the blog-reader to guess which year the Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan. I am now in the process of finally seeing the Yasujiro Ozu cinematic masterpiece "Tokyo Story" on dvd, hence the reason for this image above.
Was the year?:
A) 1988
B) 1956
C) 1964
D) 1968
The answer to last week's quiz was "B."
SIDEBAR: I imagine if tickets remain they may be very limited by the Canadian band Arcade Fire which is apparently now hotter than Shakira dancing barefoot in a low-cut dress is performing this weekend in Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia (that's actually a Monday concert). The band will also be profiled in this week's edition of "Sound Opinions," an NPR series which airs at 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays in the Greensboro and Raleigh markets on 91.5 (WUNC-FM, Chapel Hill).

1964, the same year the Land of The Rising Sun introduced the shinkansen, better known to Westerners as the "bullet train".
