B Movie
(专辑: Reflections - 1981)
Well, the
first thing I
want to say is: Mandate my ass! Because it seems as though we've been convinced that 26% of the
registered voters, not even 26% of the
American people, but 26% of the
registered voters form a
mandate or a
landslide. 21% voted for Skippy and 3, 4% voted for somebody else who might have been running. But, oh yeah, I
remember. In this year that we have now declared the
year from Shogun to Reagan, I
remember what I
said about Reagan, I
meant it. Acted like an actor. Hollyweird. Acted like a
liberal. Acted like General Franco when he acted like governor of California, then he acted like a
Republican. Then he acted like somebody was going to vote for him for president. And now we act like 26% of the
registered voters is actually a
mandate. We're all actors in this I
suppose. What has happened is that in the
last 20 years, America has changed from a
producer to a
consumer. And all consumers know that when the
producer names the
tune, the
consumer has got to dance. That's the
way it is. We used to be a
producer very inflexible at that, and now we are consumers and, finding it difficult to understand. Natural resources and minerals will change your world. The
Arabs used to be in the
3rd World. They have bought the
2nd World and put a
firm down payment on the
1st one. Controlling your resources we'll control your world. This country has been surprised by the
way the
world looks now. They don't know if they want to be Matt Dillon or Bob Dylan. They don't know if they want to be diplomats or continue the
same policy of nuclear nightmare diplomacy. John Foster Dulles ain't nothing but the
name of an airport now. The
idea concerns the
fact that this country wants nostalgia. They want to go back as far as they can even if it's only as far as last week. Not to face now or tomorrow, but to face backwards. And yesterday was the
day of our cinema heroes riding to the
rescue at the
last possible moment. The
day of the
man in the
white hat or the
man on the
white horse or the
man who always came to save America at the
last moment someone always came to save America at the
last moment especially in "B" movies. And when America found itself having a
hard time facing the
future, they looked for people like John Wayne. But since John Wayne was no longer available, they settled for Ronald Reagan and it has placed us in a
situation that we can only look at -like a
"B" movie. Come with us back to those inglorious days when heroes weren't zeros. Before fair was square. When the
cavalry came straight away and all-American men were like Hemingway to the
days of the
wondrous "B" movie. The
producer underwritten by all the
millionaires necessary will be Casper "The Defensive" Weinberger no more animated choice is available. The
director will be Attila the
Haig, running around frantically declaring himself in control and in charge. The
ultimate realization of the
inmates taking over at the
asylum. The
screenplay will be adapted from the
book called "Voodoo Economics" by George "Papa Doc" Bush. Music by the
"Village People" the
very military "Macho Man." "Company!!!" "Macho, macho man!" "Two-three-four." "He likes to be .. well, you get the
point." "Huuut! Your left! Your left! Your left, right, left, right, left, right
!" A
theme song for saber-rallying and selling wars door-to-door. Remember, we're looking for the
closest thing we can find to John Wayne. Clichés abound like kangaroos courtesy of some spaced out Marlin Perkins, a
Reagan contemporary. Clichés like, "itchy trigger finger" and "tall in the
saddle" and "riding off or on into the
sunset." Clichés like, "Get off of my planet by sundown!" More so than clichés like, "he died with his boots on." Marine tough the
man is. Bogart tough the
man is. Cagney tough the
man is. Hollywood tough the
man is. Cheap steak tough. And Bonzo's substantial. The
ultimate in synthetic selling: A
Madison Avenue masterpiece a
miracle a
cotton-candy politician
Presto! Macho! "Macho, macho man!" Put your orders in America. And quick as Kodak your leaders duplicate with the
accent being on the
dupes cause all of a
sudden we have fallen prey to selective amnesia remembering what we want to remember and forgetting what we choose to forget. All of a
sudden, the
man who called for a
blood bath on our college campuses is supposed to be Dudley "God-damn" Do-Right? "You go give them liberals hell Ronnie." That was the
mandate to the
new Captain Bligh on the
new ship of fools. It was doubtlessly based on his chameleon performance of the
past: as a
Liberal Democrat. As the
head of the
Studio Actor's Guild, when other celluloid saviors were cringing in terror from McCarthy, Ron stood tall. It goes all the
way back from Hollywood to hillbilly. From Liberal to libelous, from "Bonzo" to Birch idol, born again. Civil rights, women's rights, gay rights:
it's all wrong. Call in the
cavalry to disrupt this perception of freedom gone wild. God damn it, first one wants freedom, then the
whole damn world wants freedom. Nostalgia, that's what we want
: the
good ol' days, when we gave'em hell. When the
buck stopped somewhere and you could still buy something with it. To a
time when movies were in black and white, and so was everything else. Even if we go back to the
campaign trail, before six-gun Ron shot off his face and developed hoof-in-mouth. Before the
free press went down before full-court press, and were reluctant to review the
menu because they knew the
only thing available was...Crow. Lon Chaney, our man of a
thousand faces: no match for Ron. Doug Henning does the
make-up; special effects from Grecian Formula 16 and Crazy Glue; transportation furnished by the
David Rockefeller of Remote Control Company. Their slogan is, "Why wait for 1984? You can panic now...and avoid the
rush." So much for the
good news
. As Wall Street goes, so goes the
nation. And here's a
look at the
closing numbers: racism's up, human rights are down, peace is shaky, war items are hot. The
House claims all ties. Jobs are down, money is scarce, and common sense is at an all-time low on heavy trading. Movies were looking better than ever, and now no one is looking, because we're starring in a
"B" movie. And we would rather had...John Wayne. We would rather had...John Wayne. "You don't need to be in no hurry. You ain't never really got to worry. And you don't need to check on how you feel. Just keep repeating that none of this is real. And if you're sensing, that something's wrong, Well just remember, that it won't be too long Before the
director cuts the
scene. yea." "This ain't really your life, Ain't really your life, Ain't really ain't nothing but a
movie." [Refrain repeated approximately 20 times] "This ain't really your life, Ain't really your life, Ain't really ain't nothing but a
movie."
