I had to watch the trailer for "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" after hearing a rant on sports talk radio about the soon-to-be-released film (opening Aug. 4).

It seems that some NASCAR fans are taking offense to the concept of Will Ferrell playing a Southern race-car driver who isn't exactly a Rhodes scholar. The buzz is that the stereotypical portrayals in the movie represent Hollywood's disdain for the demographic that put the current administration in the White House.

I don't know about any of that, but judging by the trailer, the film should have a good soundtrack. The trailer opens with Free performing "All Right Now," one of the great enduring songs from the '70s by a band that never quite received its due.

You can't go wrong with music like that.
