You know, this is a pretty obvious point, but the only reason
any of us associate certain types of music with hb is because
there's been movies that have used that kind of music, or at
least music very much like it. There's no reason that
somebody couldn't make a tough hb film and use as music, oh,
classic Black Sabbath songs. Maybe it could work -- who
knows?
I was just thinking about the famous scene in Quentin
Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS that uses Stealer's Wheel's
"Stuck in the Middle With You", an old folk-rock song from
the mid-Seventies. After having seen that scene, I have not
been able to think of that song in any other light. Movies
are a powerful thing.
