COMPOSERS: WAR
The story is about a group of car thieves who must steal 50 cars in one night to save the character of Kip from being taken out by some mobsters.
The cars they are going after are absolutely the coolest there are ever...(Right Trav?)..there are some continuity goofs and some of the cars are mis-identified throughout the movie, but again...this is a 'fluff film'. A couple of cool car chases fill it all in.

One of the cool parts in the movie is as the crew is getting ready to start their night and Nick Cage calls for silence and they start the music as they all 'get in the mood'...
The song is WAR'S "Lowrider" a song we have always thought was so freakin' cool and in sexy....Released in 1975 on the Why Can't We Be Friends album, it reached #1 on Billboard's R&B chart and #35 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.
The Lowriders are originally credited to the Mexican/American/Chicano culture, on the west coast around LA and San Diego, but the phenomena has spread across the country and you will find lines of Lowriders cruising through cities and towns on weekend nights and arriving at a local fast food parking lot or other common area.
"Mini-Tutelage"
The Original lineup sans BurdonWar was a multicultural American band of the 1970s from California, known for the hit songs "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?".
Formed in 1969, War was the first and most successful musical crossover, fusing elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin music, R&B, and even reggae. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up.
The band's diverse musical influences have made it an enduring influence, one that has sold nearly 25 million records to date.
Although War's lyrics are often socio-political in nature, their music usually had a laid-back, California funk vibe. The music has been sampled and recorded by many singers and groups, ranging from Janet Jackson to Korn to TLC.
They were certainly part of our teenage years, our band PEACE OF MYND used to do "Spill The Wine" in rehearsals, though we can not ever remember pulling it out during one of our live performances...
"Spill The Wine" from the album Eric Burdon Declares War, was the band's first hit during the time they were known as ERIC BURDON AND WAR. Burdon who is most famous for being the front man for the band THE ANIMALS was brought into the studio with the band by producer Jerry Goldstein. Burdon left the group after one more album, also released in 1970, a two-disc set called Black-Mans Burdon. He left in the middle of a European tour. The song reached #3 on the Billboard charts.
"Why Can't We Be Friends" from the album of the same name, was played in space when NASA beamed it to the linking of Soviet Cosmonots and U.S astronauts in 1975. "Why Can't We Be Friends" charted at #6 in 1975

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN'S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday October 23rd at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)
A true genius will visit the Radio Happy Hour this week when New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn drops in to celebrate the publication of his ninth thriller PROTECT AND DEFEND.
Flynn, whose fans include Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, will give us a sneak peak of what to expect this time around from his hero Mitch Rapp when he takes on Iran. Plus, we'll get his views on current events and find out when we can expect Hollywood to produce some Mitch Rapp movies and hear about his past work with the hit TV show 24.
Also, two lucky fans will call in to play "Vince or Mitch" for a chance to win an autographed copy of Protect and Defend.
Then, Jessica Dorfman Jones will council us on The Art of Cheating. She's the author of a "nasty little book for tricky little schemers and their hapless victims." She'll teach us how to successfully cheat on our taxes, our spouses, our diets and even death! We'll also find out how her husband feels about being married to the woman who has literally written the book on cheating!
All that plus, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE CYBERWAVES Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman provides a forecast like only he can, Jane may or may not show up and, as always, your calls at 646-652-4804.
