Can You Dig It?

I love the movie The Warriors. Why? Well. It defies explanation. The movie, as a piece of cinema, is completely indefensible on all fronts, except the sure lunacy of the movie's excesses. Sure, there are rival NY street toughs, but would one street tough organization really be in face paint and wear baseball uniforms....and be called The Furies? Of course not, but in the universe of The Warriors, it's acceptable. And I kind of like that worldview. I mean, if gangs were more colorful in the badguy professional wrestler mode, wouldn't being mugged, or the threat of being mugged, be much more interesting.
"Jeff, some asshole stole my wallet."
"Sorry, Dirk. That's really got to bum you out."
"Hell no, Jeff. I was robbed by the one of the Conquistidors!"
"Awesome!"
And they high five.

Now, why bring up my Warrior love. Well, Nostradamustache has this cousin named Drew and Drew told me that I must do a YouTube search for Nicki Rose. Today, I obliged Drew...and I have to say, Nicki Rose is pure gold. If Nicki Rose were a mustache, he'd be the most beautiful mustache you'd ever seen on a lady. Behold, Nicki Rose singing about being an Electric Warrior, and cribbed the most famous line from The Warriors: "Warriors...come out and play-ay" Now you play, Nicki. You play.


VIVA EL MUSTACHE!
