Why VH1 Classic rocks...

They just segued from some Culture Club song I never heard, but which I assume was called "War is Stupid"(Ah, the 80's, when Britain had lots of nuclear protests with kids dressed in skeleton costumes(but I digress), into ABC's "The Look of Love". Before that they played Bob Dylan's theme from "Band Of The Hand", a Video-Toaster fest which may be one of the worst videos I've ever seen, quality-wise, but which makes me want to go out and find the movie.

More later.

Great movie, IMHO. Terrible song. The same guy who gave us all kinds of high-quality prose hits us with:
"It's hell time, man."
"On these streets the fools rule, there's no freedom or self-respect. A knife's point or a trip to the joint is about all you can expect. They kill people here who stand up for their rights, this system's just too damn corrupt. It's always the same, the name of the game is who do you know higher up?"
The only thing that tops this is "The Usual" from Hearts On Fire, a little-noted Groanapalooza starring Uncle Robert and '80s wunderkind Fiona.
You're welcome, Red.
