Best Commercial Ever

… was in the cycling movie Breaking Away over 30 years ago. Dave Stollar worships the Italian bicycle racing team. When he gets a chance to race against them and keeps up with them they interfere with his front wheel and force him off the road.
Dave: Everybody cheats. I just didn’t know
Father: Well, now you know
True Romance, Domino, even Top Gun – I think I’m the only one alive who preferred him to his brother Ridley
Why couldn’t it have been Joel Schumacher – I cry every time I watch Man on Fire
So sad.
“The problem,” says Clark, “is that you’re a fucking idealist, and I’m a whore.”
I’m too tired to get all up in arms again and make it artful because Dick Clark wasn’t about art – Google Brad Laidman and Dick Clark for the things I’ve written about him in the past.
Here’s one which people didn’t understand had a comical but basically true tone to it Happy New Year: Dick Clark is still the Anti-Christ
Here is what I posted on facebook – it’s not grammatically correct or well thought out. Dick Clark doesn’t deserve that.
I knew it would happen but it’s killing me today that Dick Clark is somehow being praised as a great liberator of black music when in fact he was largely responsible for providing the dead years of rock and roll with Frankie Avalon Fabian and Bobby Rydell – when the Payola hearings happened Dick Clark was 100 times more guilty than Alan Freed but Dick Clark promised to stop being so naughty and profited on the white backlash while Freed who truly loved the music died penniless – Do some research today Dick Clark was a parasite to real artists – he insisted on lip syncing, he tried to kill Soul Train by ripping it off with his own sterile version until it was protested off the air – he created the American Music Awards so that popular became more important than artful – all he ever cared about was making money he didn’t have an artistic bone in his body and anyone who had said good things about him in the past only did so because he was so powerful that they had to do so to protect their careers – i don’t wish death on anyone, but i’ve always been amazed that supposedly the truth has to take a vacation on the day you die
