I love Roadhouse.

When my ex-wife and I first broke up and I had to move out on my own, I was so goddamn poor that I couldn't afford internet, or even a phone. Through a workplace charity that donated stuff to school-age mothers, I was given an old TV and VCR that was so outdated none of the pregant teens even wanted it. The only good movie they had on cassette was Roadhouse.

During the dark winter of 2009, as I saved money to leave Oregon, my only human contact was co-workers I barely spoke to, clerks selling me cheap malt liquor, and Roadhouse. I left it in the VCR on repeat, and had it playing in the background constantly until spring came and I had enough saved to move to California. Roadhouse kept me going when I should have just given up.

That's a true story.

I also have a prop shirt worn by an extra on Roadhouse. I'll take a picture and post it when I get to work in a bit.

Fun fact: Red West, who played the red-headed guy who ran the auto parts store, was one of Elvis' "Memphis Mafia," a best friend and hanger-on who helped The King TCB. He wrote a tell all book called "Elvis: What Happened," published shortly before Elvis' death, purportedly as an attempt to show some tough love and scare him straight. Instead, it has been cited as a factor into driving Elvis into deep depression, and maybe even his death on the toilet at age 42.

It's a good book. I have it.

Also, John Doe from the seminal LA punk band X plays the first bartender at the Double Deuce who gets fired by Dalton for skimming from the till.

Did you ever look at a picture of your wife while weeping "I used to gently caress women like you in my bed"?

No, I just pretended I was Tinker driving a monster truck, so I felt like I was king of the universe.
