Chewie's Got a Boner

EXPERIMENT #160
"CHEWIE'S GOT A BONER"


FILM

Star Wars (1995 "Faces" VHS).

ALBUM

Let It Be by the Replacements. Their magnum opus. Thirty-three minutes of crucial ragamuffin rock brilliance. Probably the most important guitar-based album of the 1980s. Certainly one of the best. Definitely the best featuring a blazing mandolin solo.

SYNCHS

- The Jawa moves toward R2-D2 to apply the restraining bolt as the line "they've got you under their thumb" is heard in "Black Diamond."

- "Seen Your Video" is playing when Luke discovers Princess Leia's hologram.

NOTES

Weak.

I went to the house on the cover of Let It Be one time. Here's photographic evidence:



That's Angela's head in the foreground. We thought about climbing up on the roof to be like the album cover, but it was the middle of the day and there were too many people milling about. Shoulda gone back at night and done it. Oh well. There's always next time. I wonder how many crazy 'Mats fans have actually tried to get on top of that house...
