What a flick, slow paced but engrossing. Mucho good acting. Neil Young sound track(No singing) I think Neil spent a couple of hours listening to Link Wray before he scored, but it only made it better.

Link Wray. Bullshot> got it?
As a young punk I heard it in a hippy record collectors store- walked out with it.
Everybody, punks, rockers, hippies and shrubs was impressed. (guitar solos like a jet plane roaring outta the sky!)
He used to slash his speakers @ dragraces with a switchblade to get distortion I read (pre-effects pedals).
Banned from radio because of supposed bike gang association\ references.
Peter Gunn is, I believe a rip off of Switchblade. (should check dates)
The Peter Gordon\ Link Wray stuff was smooth too.
So marketing stuck us with the B-Boys (BEACH not BEASTIE) and watered down surf. Yeech.
Ya got good taste in old rock sir.

Totally forgot about the movie-...Yes, since a Link Wray fan and wicked bike mech recommends?.. I'll see it.
