This week's video is a special request by Slave to the Dogs, who, apparently, likes her music videos with a heaping helping of homoerotic tension.
Feast your eyes on Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne overstating the obvious in this video for their 1985 hit, "You're a Friend of Mine." I have a sneaking suspicion that the director must have been a close-talker.
That's Daryl Hannah on the couch and backup vocals. I hear that after the video wrapped, she was seen walking around with a welt on her arm, about the size of a cigar. That's what you get in Jackson Browne's house when you spill paint in the garage.
PS - Happy (early) Birthday, Slave! I doubt any of your other presents will be as awesome as a cheesy '80s vid.

Once, in doing research on this song (don't ask), I learned Clarence wrote it to sing with Bruce, but "Bruce didn't have time, so I thought of Jackson instead."
Some friend Bruce is!
Darkman - I like to walk the people down that road now and then.
Historical Wit - And why not? He's the Big Man!
Bond - You loved it. Admit it.
Scott - Yeah, but Bruce has actually kissed Clarence. More than once. He's not a tease like Jackson.
I guess if he would've sung it with Bruce, they could've changed the lyrics to, "If I have time, you'll be a friend of mine."
What a couple of teases, though, I kept waiting and waiting and they never came through with the kiss, although you know they wanted to.
I have to hand it to Daryl that she didn't show up on his door right after a day of shooting "Kill Bill" with the eye patch and samurai sword, and she just didn't go to town on his ass.
That said, I may make a Clarence Clemons reference in the next post I'm thinking about ...
