Directed by William Friedkin....who also directed The French Connection, The Exorcist, and some CSI episodes. Good pedigree here.

Friedkin is known for being a little "off kilter" which probably added to his directing acumen.

On the set of The Exorcist, he infamously used to carry a hand gun around with him and randomly shoot it to keep the actors on edge. He also hauled off and slapped the priest who gave father Karras his last rights so that he would appear visibly shaken - AND THE GUY WAS AN ACTUAL PRIEST!

Definitely not your conventional director.

As long as this thread keeps going and as long as I continue to produce music, I am fitting to post every time we release something. Today, we released a live album on streaming platforms only (Spotify, Apple, Itunes, Amazon) - go look up Pony Creek or click the link to check it out on Spotify or Apple music.

This is also the video we put out to accompany it - it's a cover of Chris Stapleton's "Midnight Train To Memphis"


Itunes & Apple = http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1502967715?ls=1&app=itunes

Dennis Hopper would do something similar in his Hoosiers scenes where he needed to appear drunk. He would ask the director to give him fifteen seconds notice, then Shooter would make himself dizzy, and apparently drunk, by spinning in circles.
 
Found this band about a year ago, good mix of southern rock and blues. Unfortunately their lead guitarist left the band two weeks before I was going to see them in Bloomington, IL.

That would have been a massive hit had it come out two years later.

Summer of 1980, just missed MTV. There's probably hundreds of other songs who met similar fates.

Tommy (867-5309-Jenny) Tutone on the other hand?

You can't just mentioned Tommy Tutone ... Who doesn't like a video about a Peeping Tom :)

She just passed away recently. For many years I thought she was Emmanuel Beart, who appeared in several 1980's fluff movies, but it wasn't her.

The power of MTV. If Culture Club and Duran Duran could make themselves international superstars thanks to their videos, Robbie Dupree certainly could have. But he missed the MTV age.
