Nonono. She had pictures of the penises of rockstars she banged, and someone guessed Roger Waters' or something like that but it turned out to be Jimmy Page's.


And in Dazed and Confused I believe someone had a paddle with a Dark Side of the Moon prism on it. I cant quite remember, it was a while ago.

Doesnt that SCTV Network show thing have the 2 canadians that they based the movie Strange Brew on? Are those the two rednecks you are talking about?

thats Bob & Doug McKenzie, who sit around drinking beers and wearing toques and saying "aw take off eh ya hoser"
played by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis

Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok was another recurring bit, played by John Candy and Joe Flaherty
they started as an early early morning farm report that gave the days prices on pork bellys pork tails pork snouts and pork gristle
then said nobodys watching TV at 4am anyway, so they discussed how they hated them european art films cuz nothing ever blowed up in them

that was when they mentioned Zabriskie Point

everytime they reappeared, that was their catchphrase, "blowed up real good",
and they started blowing stuff up

they even had Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok's Late Night Rock concert
where they blew up Patti Smith, the Village People, and the guy who wrote that "short people got no reason" song

In the movie 1984 based on george orwells famous book, there is a scene at a train station and what is clearly visible for about 5 seconds is the Batersea Power Station (i think that how to spell it)

Thats more of a mistake in the movie than a Pink Floyd reference.

[David Smith]

Thats more of a mistake in the movie than a Pink Floyd reference.

Interesting all the same... You'd think someone would have checked it

why would that be a mistake?
its a famous London landmark
and fits well with the Big Brother imagery

i thought that animals (the album) was a bit of a reference to orwells 1984 book anyway ?

What about the classic Thanksgiving episode of WKRP In Cincinnati?

Animals was played at various times throughout the show with Mr. Carlson asking Johnny Fever if that was in fact dogs barking on the record.

All of this plus turkeys being tossed from a helicopter.

"As God as my witness, Les, I thought turkeys could fly..." - Arthur Carlson, Pres. WKRP

dOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE YOUNG ONES? THEY WERE HAVING A PARTY AND SOME GUY IS SMOKING A JOINT AND HE SAYS IS THIS PINK FLOYD OR WHAT?

[Freddie Mercury]

Wow yeah I forgot all about that...I taped that Young Ones episode back in the '80s I think that one is called "Party" (and now they're all on DVD!).

not really, it was more of a reference to Animal Farm which i liked better than 1984
