So my brother and sister in law came to visit this weekend which was great because they are two of my favorite people and I don't get to see enough of them. It pretty much rained the whole time but we had fun running around Brooklyn. We checked out the Brooklyn Flea Market on Sunday and my brother tried on a ridiculous Warriorsesque nylon jacket with offsetting ascot that his wife declared fit for Halloween. My sentiments exactly. Then we went out that night and had some drinks and he became obsessed with having me look up this Burt Reynolds movie on IMDB that he couldn't remember the name of because he swore the jacket was cool and somehow Burt Reynolds wearing one in 1983 was going to prove that fact to me. Of course my iPhone wasn't cooperating so he is getting no confirmation. Until today when we all go out for one last meal and the internet cooperates and we find the movie poster only wait a minute...Burt's jacket was cooler says my brother and with that he stops lamenting buying the jacket noone liked that was two sizes too small. So I thought I would post the trailer from the movie in homage to the weekend when a youtube search turns up this video made by Lovage entitled Stroker Ace and I realize that the hot singer in the video is my friend Jennifer Charles from Elysian Fields. So as much as Burt's jacket is swell Bill and who doesn't love an early 80's moustache, this feels so serendipitous that I had to post it. Lovage is made up of Jennifer Charles, Dan the Automator, Mike Patton and Kid Koala. Enjoy.
