I love music on the weekend, so this time, I thought I’d play movie themes that sound good even though they are from Halloween/scary movies.

>>Halloween Reveler Dressed As Breathalyzer Busted For Drunk Driving
In the most amusing meta moment from the Halloween police blotter, a Nebraska man dressed as a portable Breathalyzer machine was arrested for drunk driving.
Matthew Nieveen, 19, was busted early Monday for DUI and being a minor in possession of alcohol. Nieveen, pictured in the police photo, was collared after a Lincoln cop pulled over his Ford F-150 after the teenager was spotted driving erratically. Though cops identified Nieveen, they decided to black out his face in a photo snapped post-arrest.

All the police seemed to be able to do was shrug their shoulders and take everyone’s names.
It might be the result of similar events that has caused some towns to outlaw teenagers trick-or-treating. Here’s the story from the Associated Press via ABC News:
Today I wanted to continue to share great music as well as the the great musicians who make it.
Paul Cardall has an inspiring story to tell. He’s written a book about it, but he also makes some truly lovely and inspiring music as well. Check out this video about his book:
