Of course, the use of pop in film has also been done very
well. I can't
hear "Please, Mr. Postman" anymore without picturing DeNiro
tearing up the
joint in MEAN STREETS, or "Stuck in the Middle With You"
without picturing
Michael Madsen flashing the blade in RESERVOIR DOGS. Imagine
Stealer's
Wheel's music being considered hardboiled? YIKES!!!
If you ask me, that's a far better use of my musical memories
than TV
commercials for Toyotas or Tampons.
And, of course, as usual, please forgive me for violating the
List Purity
Laws, by mentioning television. Will you take a bribe? The
eggs are in the
mail...
So, it looks like someone else lucked onto an, er,
alternative copy of GOD
IS A BULLET. Here's Teran's original bio:
"Boston Teran was born and raised in the South Bronx by his
drifter father,
surrounded by "gamblers, con men, and thieves." Teran now
lives in Los
Angeles with his family. This is his first book."
Play that funky music, white boy....
