dragonlady7I purchase very little music nowadays. i purchase very little. Those on my flist of the anti-corporate bent should be proud. I am as anti-consumerism as they come. Why?
Because out of the two and a half years now since I got my college degree, I've spent a year and a half unemployed. So, I ain't exactly in a high income tax bracket. What I buy, I buy cuz I really want.
That said, I TOTALLY NEED to buy myself some Bad Company.
People would talk about them and I wouldn't know who they were, but then I watched Scotland, PA and they were, like, the whole soundtrack. And I knew every song, and I was like man, I love that song!
Have you ever seen Scotland, PA?
You must.
it is an adaptation of Macbeth. Set in small-town Pennsylvania. In the seventies. At a drive-through restaurant. Starring, among others, Christopher Walken (Inspector MacDuff) and Maura Tierney (Pat MacBeth). And oh yes, one of the three witches is Andy Dick. (Another is Amy Smart, creepily stoned and speaking with some dude's voice.)
There is a scene with a deep-fryer and a body. The horns on the hood of someone's car play a plot-significant role. And the phrase "rock block" is uttered more than once.
And during "Feel Like Makin' Love"--- yes, there is a sex scene. (How can you not?)
And almost the entire soundtrack features Bad Company, except for that song that goes "I never been to Heaven, but I been to Oklahoma," which I don't think they did.
Come to think of it, I kinda need that song too....
Oh, and I guess Bad Company didn't do "Can't You See" ("can't you see, can't you see, what that woman, she been doin' to me"-- which, I might add, plays through the closing sequence of the film, and can you think of a more quintessentially MacBethian song? I cannot.)
This totally disorganized and incoherent post was brought to you by a lack of nap, Beer Nuts, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and the fact that I am totally zoned out and this is my wordcount even though it's a really exciting scene and I just can't freaking get into it and I will never make my next milestone, AGH:
