@RadicalSocialWorker Ha! And I’ve seen the first two, too! I should have remembered them!

They Might Be Giants do that a lot. Your Racist Friend has a sudden, almost Mariachi bit in the middle of it.

Straight to Hell was... interesting I got a kick out of a young Courtney Love starring in that movie.

[jake4480@c.im]

@RadicalSocialWorker @uxmark oh amazing. Thank you both - gonna see all 5 mentioned here, never have! 🤯

[radicalsocialworker@mstdn.ca]

@jake4480
You're going on a Joe Strummer adventure! I was inspired by someone else way cooler than me to watch those movies - so I can't take credit for the idea.

Hope you enjoy!

[jake4480@c.im]

@RadicalSocialWorker oh yeah. I've been such a huge fan since I was an early teen. He isn't my ONLY one, but he's a MAIN one of the below... I'm not even on bsky so I forget where this even came from ah, the internet

[uxmark@mstdn.ca]

@jake4480 @RadicalSocialWorker To be fair, he and the rest of The Clash are barely in King of Comedy. More like cameos/extras in a street scene. Still an awesome movie worth seeing!

@MichaelTBacon
Hadn't heard this before! This fits!

@jake4480
Lol! Emotional support dead guy. Yeah... I feel like I have a bunch of those - emotional support dead people.

There are entire communities based around that Like I'm thinking Jerry Garcia for one.

@uxmark
I'll have to check it out!

@RadicalSocialWorker yes. She did a series of these and I saved others, and they're all mine too. Hendrix, Tom Petty, Joey Ramone, etc.

[jake4480@c.im]

@RadicalSocialWorker @uxmark same. Yeah, I'm totally doing all these. Strummer marathon ftw! Hahaha

[radicalsocialworker@mstdn.ca]

@jake4480
I love how this thread went from:
Trent Reznor ->
Joe Strummer ->
Emotional support dead people ->

I love the Fediverse.

[jake4480@c.im]

@RadicalSocialWorker same. It's so magical here

[uxmark@mstdn.ca]

@jake4480 @RadicalSocialWorker At this point I’m going to observe, with delight, how a simple post from RSW blossomed into a fun conversation filled with discoveries ️

[radicalsocialworker@mstdn.ca]

@uxmark
@jake4480
Aw yes! So good. This has been a highlight of my day.

[jake4480@c.im]

@RadicalSocialWorker @uxmark heck yeah. I always get so much joy from Mastodon every day, it's totally wild.

[uxmark@mstdn.ca]

@RadicalSocialWorker Ok, here’s a second song! There’s more than one whiplash moment in A Quick One (While He’s Away), by The Who. This version remains my favourite performance of the song, much better than the studio version.
