One of my favorite movies, and not just because I live in Chicago — but if you want to see the best city location shots, that's the movie — is the John Belushi/Dan Aykroyd 1980s farce, "The Blues Brothers." It's a send-up of a Saturday Night Live TV show bit in which the comics actually became blues singers.
The plot, how much of one there may be, is built around the phrase of "putting the band back together," sort of a reunion of the blues band featuring the Belushi character coming out of prison and Aykroyd.
We'll accept coaching the Chicago Bulls was not quite like being in prison. But it's made me wonder whether Chicago's formerly beloved coach, Tom Thibodeau, is about to embark on a form of his own mission from God — as the movie's theme offers — of bringing back his formerly successful group for one more run.
