Although rock artists often sing of being on the run &#8211; from The Man, hellhounds, adoring fans, what have you &#8211; they rarely agree to be filmed running. Lately I&#8217;ve been scouring YouTube to find videos showing actual rock musicians in the act of running. It&#8217;s been tough finding all but a handful of clips that my fading memory could remember from the days when MTV and VH1 actually played music videos. Even that wildly popular <strong>OK Go<\/strong> video, although choreographed for treadmill, includes no running. The results are mixed, but I think the results of my survey will satisfy any lingering questions you might have over the marriage of rock music and running. Take your time with this one; we may need all weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start this examination of bands on the run with arguably the greatest of rock running videos.<\/p>\n<p><em>NEXT: Arguably the greatest of rock running videos!<\/em><br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><br \/><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text\/html' width='425' height='355' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f5sUrxO0Sug?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;ap=%252526fmt%253D18' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Longtime Townspeople will know of my fascination with the video for <strong>The Jam<\/strong>&#8216;s &#8220;Absolute Beginners.&#8221; First of all, it&#8217;s one of the last Jam songs that I love unequivocably. More importantly, though, I&#8217;ve always sense a lot of meaning in the all-out running scenes. What <em>does<\/em> it all mean, man? Let&#8217;s try to figure it out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 1<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The members of The Jam are back to back (<strong>Fig. 1<\/strong>), as if they&#8217;re about to mark off 10 paces for a 3-way duel and&#8230;<em>they&#8217;re off<\/em> a mere 9 seconds into the song! I&#8217;ve frozen the frame right at that <strong>00:09 mark<\/strong> (<strong>Fig. 2<\/strong>); you&#8217;ll see that undisputed bandleader <strong>Paul Weller<\/strong> is hunched over and lunging out of the blocks. Is he desparate reach the finish line with this band, or is he desparate to prove once and for all that he&#8217;s top dog in this fading outfit?<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bassist <strong>Bruce Foxton<\/strong> and drummer <strong>Rick Buckler<\/strong> leave the blocks with more poise and confidence, but exactly 1 second later <strong>(Fig. 3)<\/strong> the video cuts to an arial view in which Foxton and an even more awkwardly lunging Weller suddenly have two steps on Buckler, who seems to be running to stand still. I read this frame as a clear knock on Buckler and, perhaps, all drummers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Two seconds into this unfair advantage, Buckler leaps out to the lead, leaving the left side of the frame altogether while Weller huffs to the right and Buckler keeps to his starter&#8217;s rhythm. Then we get our first solo shots of the boys in action. I&#8217;ve arranged them in split screen for ease of comparison (<strong>Fig. 4<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run4all.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"301\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 4<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buckler is an <em>animal<\/em>, a model of efficient movement, all furiously pumping arms and legs! It&#8217;s no wonder the guy excelled on driving 4-on-the-floor beats. There&#8217;s no swing or freelancing in this guy&#8217;s gait. Foxton is lithe and efficient. He&#8217;ll do well in the open field, probably being the most adept among the band members at dashing out of the way of an unexpected bicycle or fruit stand. Weller looks bad. His form is wobbly, at best. He seems to be favoring one side, perhaps having stumbled while out shopping before the shoot? At some point in the race he&#8217;s acquired a scarf. Why?<\/p>\n<p>At 28 seconds, the lads have somehow reached a point in the race where they&#8217;re all on the same street, headed in the same direction. Running ahead of his bandmates, Buckler is clearly the stud of the field. Then a winded Weller (<strong>Fig. 5<\/strong>), whistle dangling from his neck and rhythm section relaxing behind him, calls <em>Time!<\/em> and gets the boys back to the studio, where he can reclaim the lead in this race.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 5<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now Weller&#8217;s got his fire back. Foxton looks just as ready for rockin&#8217; as he did for runnin&#8217;, but check out Buckler: he looks a little frustrated to be tied to his throne, once more following the lead of the uncoordinated Weller. With a trademark snare roll he convinces his bandmates to finish the race, even orchestrating a neck-and-neck-and-neck heat, with Paul featured in the middle (<strong>Fig. 6<\/strong>). That&#8217;s taking one for the team, baby! Think about this image next time you&#8217;re about to cut on a drummer. When we next see Buckler running solo his hair is billowing and he projects a manly confidence and visage not unlike that of the late <strong>Heath Ledger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/media\/blogs\/rth\/run6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Fig. 6<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The band is playing better than ever. Foxton is matching Weller phrase for phrase, snarl for snarl. Buckler is sitting high in the saddle. At the <strong>2:07 mark<\/strong>, Buckler&#8217;s seen blowing the whistle (<strong>Fig. 7<\/strong>). Then, for the second time, Foxton is shown in front of a clock. Is this marking the end of the band?

This is a band on the run in the Roger Moore-era <strong>James Bond<\/strong> flick sense of the term: exotic locations, classy jackets, the intersection of native folk and hot women&#8230; But let&#8217;s examine the band members&#8217; running styles.<\/p><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text\/html' width='425' height='355' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ZBUzT1ucrM?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;ap=%252526fmt%253D18' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe><p>Just as this clip gets underway, one of those Taylor guys leads the charge of Duran dudes across a crowded street. The Taylor guy&#8217;s white, hairless, shirtless chest looks firm beneath his white silk jacket. The director surely picked one of the best-conditioned, most vigorous runners among the band. The guy trailing, in the beige shirt, doesn&#8217;t run with the vigor of the headban-wearing Taylor, but his steady gait and trim build hint at an ability for long-distance running. Sure enough, at the 53-second mark, the trim guy is now setting the pace. The larger Taylor guy is even seen giving up his run altogether before a quick cut to an exotic, hot woman.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Simon LeBon&#8217;s got a bad attitude going. Must be his hunger. He&#8217;s tipped over a table in a crowded restaurant, sneered at every native in the market as he casually walks away from the trouble he&#8217;s cause, and is now plodding through a river. It&#8217;s no surprise that the pudgy singer is shaping up to be the least fit among his bandmates. He may be hungry like the wolf, but he better look into foraging vegetation, like a hippo. After his minimal display of physical prowess, a native boy has to squeeze a sponge over his head. You&#8217;d think LeBon&#8217;s already gone 8 rounds. Then, at the <strong>2:22 mark<\/strong>, LeBon makes his first dash after the hot, exotic jungle woman. I don&#8217;t see him catching her. Somehow, though, simply by &#8220;going native,&#8221; with face paint, he&#8217;s got a chance. She tips him over as easily as he tipped over that table. The vigorous Taylor and the long-distance runner come to the rescue, not the slightest bit winded from all their running. More sexually charged jungle wrestling ensues, but it&#8217;s still not clear how LeBon caught up with her. Did he peel off the path and hop on the subway?<\/p>\n<p><em>NEXT: The getaway trot!<\/em><br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>In the early &#8217;80s, when <strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong> was wearing football pants and knee pads on stage, he did a lot of running around in public.

For a historical perspective, see the characters of <em>White Christmas<\/em> on the run at the start of that holiday classic for the former and <strong>The Beatles<\/strong> in <em>A Hard Day&#8217;s Night<\/em> for the latter.<\/p>\n<p>At the <strong>1:15 mark<\/strong> in her &#8220;Human Behavior&#8221; video <strong>Bjork<\/strong> begins to pick up pace as a bear pursues her through the woods (or are she and the bear the same?)&#8230;she&#8217;s got a &#8220;girly,&#8221; floppy arms motion, possibly in part owing to her stylish, floppy outfit&#8230;at <strong>1:25<\/strong> she abandons her floppy trot for flying (later she does a mean backfloat, making this possibly rock&#8217; first triathalon event). She lands in a tree, but when the branch breaks she falls into a darkened country road and must duck under an oncoming car driven by the bear. Relieved to escape a certain death, she resumes trotting through the woods, this time with a precocious Little Red Riding Hood gait.<\/p><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text\/html' width='425' height='355' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PWTuVzZiReU?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;ap=%252526fmt%253D18' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe><p>The root cause of the getaway trot may be something more profound, however: the attempt to run from one&#8217;s demons. Red Hot Chili Peppers&#8217; singer <strong>Anthony Kiedis<\/strong> gives shirtless running with a tight ponytail a bad name in the video for &#8220;Under the Bridge.&#8221; Let&#8217;s talk a look at a clear example of the inner demons-inspired rock trot.<\/p>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqdailymotion\" style=\"width:480px;height:221px;\"><span id=\"vvq-1955-dailymotion-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/video\/xkgnlu\">http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/video\/xkgnlu<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<p>As Kiedis revisits familiar haunts, there&#8217;s a growing sense that the man&#8217;s inner demons are in pursuit. Finally, at the <strong>3:15 mark<\/strong>, Kiedis is seen bursting through his own head, which had already been superimposed over the cover of <strong>John Lennon<\/strong>&#8216;s <em>Imagine<\/em> album. Arms-a-pumpin&#8217;, ponytail-a-flowin&#8217;, the initial impression is that of <strong>Jim Thorpe<\/strong> getting back in touch with his Native American roots for a Hertz Rent-a-Car commercial. Soon, though, this impressive imagery is diminished by the jiggling of Kiedis&#8217; budding manboobs and clear lack of triangulation where the midsection meets the hips. Immediately following this sequence, he&#8217;s put on a black tank top and is wrapping himself up in his arms, as if in shame. Coincidence? A closing gesture meant to comment on the serious lyrical content of the song? I think not. The remorseful body language is similar to what we see from a runner-up in an athletic event. Although he gives it his best effort, Anthony&#8217;s not the shirtless, ponytailed runner he used to be.<\/p>\n<p>For some, a wedding day can unleash a can of demons, as demonstrated in <strong>Greg Kihn Band<\/strong>&#8216;s, &#8220;Jeopardy.&#8221; At the <strong>2:12 mark<\/strong>, with his bride and wedding guests turning into zombies, Kihn makes a frantic, awkward dash down the aisle.

There are two scenes worth noting: the intro and the Can\u2019t By Me Love interlude\/track meet.<\/p>\n<p>During the intro, we see that John has terrible form, running with his arms flailing about wildly. George has an arguably more unorthodox form than John: he runs with his left hand either in his coat pocket, or hovering just outside his coat pocket. I believe, in running circles, they call this a Half Napoleon. Maybe he had a pack of cigarettes in his pocket and was afraid they\u2019d fall out. Famously, George trips and takes a header in the intro, wiping out Ringo behind him. Later evidence may suggest that Ringo is lagging by choice here. When we see the three of them making their final run for the train in the intro, Ringo displays a more natural runner\u2019s form, while John continues to flail about. Note here that Ringo passes the other two and gets into the train first.<\/p><\/blockquote><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text\/html' width='425' height='355' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2LoYM5OWIqI?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;ap=%252526fmt%253D18' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe><blockquote><p>Paul sits out the first heat but shows up during the &#8220;Can&#8217;t Buy Me Love&#8221; events. Early note: a shot of Ringo barely jumping for comedic effect comes later, but when the Beatles all vault over the pile of junk at the bottom of the fire escape, Ringo displays a natural, almost animalistic pounce.<\/p>\n<p>As they take the field, Paul is down for business, quickly shedding his jacket. Does he feel he has something to prove here, having been forced to miss the first round? In the same moment, John tries to throw off his hat and falls hard on his ass. Paul looks back for a second, spying weakness. Lennon immediately tries to compensate; he takes off for a long run away from the rest and sprints back, his hat now blowing off. About three quarters of the way down, he appears to get winded like Weller would find himself years later. As he runs back, his arms windmill, and he almost does a header face first into the concrete. McCartney strikes back, running at double Lennon\u2019s speed, likely making fun of him as he windmills and does an intentional tumble to the ground. Is this the moment Paul took over as the leader of the band?<\/p>\n<p>Next, the four of them line up for a relay. George and John are in traditional starting stances in the middle, while Paul and Ringo stand at the outsides, probably exchanging smirks. Paul doesn&#8217;t run, instead pretending to kill the others with an imaginary starter\u2019s pistol. Ringo outruns the other two, even in fake death.<\/p>\n<p>When we next see them, capering in pairs in the concrete square, Paul and Ringo have paired off again, while John and George are partnered once more. I think we\u2019re seeing evidence of the Varsity and JV Beatles squads.<\/p>\n<p>After they box for a bit, we see a full race. Paul disappoints here, sort of leaping in the back. He\u2019s not going all out, perhaps afraid to lose face to Ringo. John is running at full steam in the lead, but his bad form costs him again, as he tumbles and Ringo is wiped out for a second time. George, having fallen earlier, easily navigates this Beatle bunch-up and sprints ahead for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Next is the jumping competition. Ringo does his hop, having nothing to prove. George and John show considerably better form than Paul during their jumps, as Paul isn\u2019t taking this thing very seriously. It\u2019s a bit disheartening, as he makes a joke of the whole thing by bounding around quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>My take on the Beatles as runners, based on available evidence: Ringo is by far the best runner, with the surest mix of form and athletic skill, but a questionable drafting strategy. John may be the fastest, but terrible form and surprising clumsiness cost him greatly in the field. George seems to be the worst athlete early on. Evidence on Paul is inconclusive: he shows signs of speed and acrobatic skill, but he\u2019s dogging it intentionally throughout. Conclusion? Paul and Ringo need to race each other in 2009, to determine once and for all which Beatle was the best runner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Comments from this post have generated other important analyses, such as Rick Buckler&#8217;s use of a hammer in smashing the clock in &#8220;Absolute Beginners.&#8221; This does change a lot as I re-read my initial analyses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Regarding my regret over the dearth of videos displaying the running style of Mick Jagger, <strong>Shawnkilroy<\/strong> sent in the following clip for review:<\/em><br \/><iframe class='youtube-player youtuber' type='text\/html' width='425' height='355' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QJg13-DdykU?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;ap=%252526fmt%253D18' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<nav class=\"page-links\"><strong>Pages:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/bands-on-the-run\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">1<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/bands-on-the-run\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">2<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/bands-on-the-run\/3\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">3<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/bands-on-the-run\/4\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">4<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/bands-on-the-run\/5\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"page-num\">5<\/span><\/a><\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATED!
