Full Disclosure: I did the lighting for Weird Al’s Living with a Hernia music video.
Good guitar work–and lots and lots of synergy.
Did you work on a lot of videos, Geezer? That’s pretty cool.
As far as I can remember I made lighting contribution only on 3 music videos:
Weird Al’s Living with a Hernia, which was a parody of
James Brown’s Living in America
and
ZZ Top Viva Las Vegas.
Each video had shots that were taken on the Bally’s Jubilee stage during my tenure as the Head Lightman.
Oh I almost forgot, I worked on Al Stewart’s video Year of the Cat. He used footage of the MGM Lion peeking out through the scenery. I can’t find any footage of that video on youtub but the other 3 are posted, maybe I’ll link them.
It’s fun to try and identify the same dancers in some of the shots.
Nifty!
The missus attended Architecting School at San Luis Obispo with Yankovic, so it’s like we’re almost related. She said he was weird.
I can’t match that story, but I got drunk with Mark Mothersbaugh’s sister one afternoon in the late ’70s. Fast forward a decade or so, and Mel Torme’s sister accused me of being a carpet bagger on Las Vegas public access TV. Fun times.
In other words, I’ve got like cred and stuff.
I carried the B-52’s bags for them and put them in the trunk of their rental car. They said, “Thank you.”
Practically a member of the band at that point, don’t you think?
Can I have your autograph?
