A quick one while Mod’s away:

While doing some research today, I ran across this video for the AARP’s upcoming convention in Washington, DC. I was ho-humming my way through it when — waitaminnit, is that who I think it is?! That’s LL Cool J! What the f*ck is LL doing manning a booth at the AARP convention? I mean, I know we’re all getting older, but…

Anyhow, the video can be found here: http://www.aarp.org/aarp_benefits/natl_events/aarp_benefits/natl_events/dc/ Check out minute marker 1:41. A coveted RTH No-prize to the Townsman who can tell us what is said during the intimate exchange captured on tape.

I look forward to your responses.

You ever see any of the Matt Helm movies? It occurred to me the other day how perfectly simple the Hollywood pitch was for these films: “What if Dean Martin was James Bond?” Let’s make a picture!

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a Hollywood pitch, it’s simple: Describe your project in the most succinct and appealing way possible. One trick is to reference previous well known successes.

There are some examples in here:

Following are a few tracks from a band called The Black Angels. If you were their manager and had to sell them with only words what would your pitch be?

Young Men Dead
Black Grease
Manipulation

Hey — I got a quick question: there are all kinds of songs that make us play air guitar, or make us reach over to the passenger side to hit an imaginary crash cymbal. I’m also sure more than a few of you have whirled about in the privacy of your homes, wielding the spatula-as-microphone. But — I need to know — which songs make you wish you were thumpin’ the thunderbroom? My faith in the youth of today is restored by the video above, which proves that at least one youngster knows where maximum groove can be found. This song would be right near the top of my bassist wannabe list. How about you?

I look forward to your responses.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that my main man Freddie from the Dreamers is winning the “who’s INTO IT” poll, once again proving that Townsmen young and old know a fucking ROCK STAR when they see one!

Come on, MC5/AC/DC/Black Oak Arkansas lovers: *this* is what being really into it looks like!
