Actually, I just watched a documentary on Orion, who I'd never fucking heard of, and it was pretty damn entertaining. I'm unemployed now so I've got time for shit like bad cable.
SB's favorite line from the documentary: "Do you think they'd interrupt a Garth Brooks session for a tour? Shit no, they wouldn't." Orion just got no respect--obviously those fuckers at Sun Records just didn't recognize glittery special talent when they saw it. Shit fucking no.
I also cried a little when I heard the line, "At 48, most musical careers are over at that time. Jimmy (Orion) didn't understand that." Goddamn it, SB is 49, and I thought I could go out and kick off a musical career at any damn time. It was in the back of my mind for a go-to next job. I'll get over it eventually, but right now, my dreams are a little bit shattered, and I'll have to return the sequined jacket and mask I bought on ebay.
Check it out, motherfuckers: http://www.orionthemovie.com/ because we all get enjoyment out of cheap glittery has-beens. Okay, just the meanest of us do. Whatever.
