      The beginning is precious. I used to sing I've got the horse right here to all four of my children and my grandchildren when they were little. In the movie The father has a sick child and prays to God. God remembers that His hand is on this little one even though he screw it up by signing over his soul.

      You're absolutely correct. All entertainers that reach a level of success are confronted by the illuminati and told they basically need to sell their soul to the devil in order to be and stay at that level of success. It's a fact

    • @anaihilator
      @anaihilator 3 года назад +5

      Actually , it just occured to me that if you consider the character arc , even though Billy looks like a contemporary 80s rock star , his sound and character are more reminiscent of Elvis
      Think about it , sudden seemingly overnight fame , bus overly involved relationship with his manager and even tho the film is set during the 80s his songs sound like theh are from the 70s
      You can't tell me Dangeroud Eyes isn't reminiscent of Hunk of Burning Love
      And finally , Billy dies of a drug overdose

      I'll tell you Paul Revere,
      Now this is no bum steer,

    • @lucyd75
      @lucyd75  7 лет назад +3

      Unfortunately, it is! I love it as well, and I basically edited this part of the movie out of frustration for not finding the songs. :D Only info I have is that both songs were written by Mike Post (who also wrote Blossom's theme song, among many, many others) and John Bettis and it doesn't look like it's available anywhere online, even though a soundtrack appears to have been released.

My family lived in the same town as Linda Blair when I was a kid; my older brother actually was invited to her house by her Mom to give guitar lessons to her older sister. Years later, he and his guitar were invited to Keith Richard's house; you know, the guy who co-wrote 'Sympathy For The Devil'????!!!! True story. And to think that George was married to a woman named Grace. Hmm.
