An Earlier Than Usual Clue to the New Direction

Okay, off to the city to have a drink with The Smirking Chimp.

No, not Bush. The actual guy who runs The Smirking Chimp website. Turns out he's a friend of a friend of a friend.

Meanwhile, from 1969, here's the classic opening sequence from the counter-cultural action show Then Came Bronson, starring brooding Brando-esque Michael Parks.



In any case, as is customary, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.

Shameless blogwhore: My latest Box Office musings -- featuring Secret Agent Patrick McGoohan as Iago(!) -- can be found here. As always, if you can leave a comment and help get me in good with management, it would be greatly appreciated.

Not exactly, but close enough that I have to give it to you.

Drat.

Oh well -- you're coveted No-Prize is winging its way to you via some jerk on a Segway as we speak....

I have it on good authority that The Smirking Chimp plays guitar in a Grateful Dead cover band. Just warning.

I always thought the theme song was 'Long Lonesome Highway'. Maybe they played that over the end credits?
