If you don't know all of these names, look them up. Cropper cowrote sitting on the dock with Otis Redding, in the midnight hour with Wilson Pickett, etc. and is considered by many the best living blues guitarist. Apparently the Beatles wanted to come to record Revolver with him but were talked out of it by Epstein.

"Play it, Steve".

Duck often smokes a pipe while playing.

This is the movie film students go to watch when they want a break from studying films and just want a good laugh and to listen to good music.

I first liked it because of the reference to my hometown. Then then I listened to the movie. All-time fave.

Made my girls watch it with me one day and during "Shake Your Tailfeather" they said, "OOH, it's the Cheetah Girl's song..."
