The Stray Cats

Stray Cats The
Hmmmm.   Maybe a sequel shouldn’t have happened. A year after the decent British film, “That’ll Be the Day” took place starring David Essex as an aspiring Rock Star. After he left his wife and kid, this was the band he formed, and the sequel that should have been aborted. The biggest note in the pantheon of pop culture is that the Rockabilly revival band, The Stray Cats, took their name from this. That isn’t enough to get them in our eyes.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Stardust (1974)

Actors:
David Essex
We don’t know who else.

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
Um……

Why you should not vote for them:
The first movie was way better than this.

Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit
Strange Fruit was a 1970’s British Rock band that disbanded following a lightning strike to the stage at the Wisbech Rock Festival of 1977. The lightning was a microcosm of their problems as their egos and pursuit of “fame, fortune and fornication” had already set them on their path of destruction.


Fast forward twenty years later and they are reuniting for a twentieth anniversary of the Festival. Prior to, they are on tour in Europe where egos and issues remain a problem, but with this great cast, we just sat back and enjoyed the ride. Depending on how strong our British following is, this is a solid candidate.

  

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Still Crazy (1998)

Actors:
Bill Nighy (Ray Simms, Lead Singer)
Stephen Rea (Tony Costello, Keyboards)
Jimmy Nail (Les Wickes, Bass)
Timothy Spall (David “Deano” Baggot, Drums)
Bruce Robinson (Brian Lovell, Guitar)
Hans Matheson (Luke Shand, Guitar)

Songs you might remember:
The Flame Still Burns

Why you should vote for them:
This was a very good film that had great acting, good music and equal parts drama and comedy.

Why you should not vote for them:
It did not gain traction in North America, nor was its legacy that strong in England.

Stitch Jones

Stitch Jones
He made a much better marine than he did a Rock Star. Stitch (Mario Van Peebles) was an aspiring Rock and Roller who played Roy’sbar and probably should have won a contest, though only because of the weak opposition. Still, we prefer Clint Eastwood kicking his ass as opposed to anything he did with a microphone.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)

Actor:
Mario Van Peebles

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for him:
Anything from a Clint Eastwood film is worth a look in our eyes.

Why you should not vote for him:
He lost the only contest we saw him in; and that took place in a crappy ass bar.

Stingray Wilson

Stingray Wilson
In the final days of the Roseanne show, it was revealed that Dan (John Goodman) was in a band in high school. His band mate was Stingray Wilson, played by John Popper of Blues Traveler, who would sing the show’s theme song in the last season of the sitcom. We were treated to Goodman singing with the band a decent rendition of “Sweet Home Chicago” but does this mean we should look at nominating Dan Connor instead? What was the name of Dan’s band anyway?




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Roseanne (1995)

Actor:
John Popper

Songs you might remember:
Nothing

Why you should vote for him:
All we really have is that Popper was convincing in the role; which we sure was a real stretch for him as an actor.

Why you should not vote for him:
Goodman had the signature song in the episode.
