False Women's Fashion

Anybody remember MTV back in the 80's. Shortly before they stopped showing music videos. They gave Andy Warhol his own show for a brief spat from 1986 to 1987 called Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes which ran only about five episodes or so, and I never really watched it at the time but I do remember the ad spots for it on the channel more than anything.



Turns out two things I like very much collaborated together in one short segment. Actor Sir Ian McKellan recites Shakespeare's Twentieth Sonnet while Queens, NY band The Fleshtones jam in the background. According to a comment on youtube this is also contained on The Fleshtones's album Big Bang Theory, which I don't have. But ooohhhh, did Hexbreaker get a lot of play in the college year(s).


Not to mention Joe booked them once and they autographed our vinyl copy of the Bachelor Party soundtrack, one of Joe's all-time favorite movies (aside from The Wizard Of Oz). They wrote something about how much the movie sucked but that they wished they had done more. Er, soundtracks, that is. Or at least I assume.
