The soundtrack has been on pretty high rotation since I first found it on cassette tape. I rented the movie on VHS once or twice.

Oh, I got there, just had to use the app, logged in to prove I’m mature enough to handle it.

You made me look it up, now. Close to, but not quite, a Hendrix chord. Apparently needs numerous instruments to put it together properly.

YouTube has age restricted this! In America at least. Go figure.

Sam Cooke and Bobby Womack in the same session. Wow.

Connection: Womack was in Sam Cooke’s backing band and married his widow the year after his death, which caused quite a stir at the time.

Another gem from Down Under. This from, in my (very biased) opinion the best surf movie ever. You’ll never see any of it for free on YouTube, the maker is very protective of his rights.

On another clip, the intro went something like “U2 disappeared so far into Brian Eno’s orbit that they ended up as their own side project”.
