Moving Pictures / Whatevs Where's, Like, the Bailout for Musicians, Man?

Posted by Ashley Spurgeon on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 12:38 PM

Shoot the Mountain's Joe Blankenship has to pay the bills just like poor laid-off country legends and Rocky Dennis-looking comeback kings. Those with a sharp eye for inane detail can find him milling about as an extra in John Rich's video for "Shuttin' Detroit Down." How topical! And so full of class warfare! I didn't know Rich was a socialist! As an artist, I wonder if he would support a reformed WPA? I'm sure broke-ass local rock 'n' rollers would!

Bonus Blankenship after the jump!

This is not our favorite blonde's first foray into the glamorous world of country music videos. See if you can spot him all fresh-and-freckle-faced in The Kinleys' "Somebody's Out There Watching," a song I believe was on the "Touched by an Angel" OST.

i wonder if this asshole is giving all the profits from this mess of a song to families in Detroit. First of all, he is not saying Detroit correctly. This video and song are infuriating. fucking wanker.

don't worry, bryan. all profits go towards john rich's helicopter landing pad he's building up on love circle so that all the poor people in detroit can move their helicopters to nashville?
I can't decide if I hate Toby Keith more than John Rich.
shit.

He's been working at GM for over 30 years, and he still hasn't paid off that tiny ass house?? WTF has he been doing with all his cash? You DO know that the average auto worker in Detroit makes about 80 bucks an hour---right, Mr. Rich? How could someone who "had" a sweet ass job like that actually get evicted from a VERY modest size home? I mean seriously guys---in today's market value in Detroit that home probably cost $45K.

for real, dude. i mean. they would have just taken his house while he was at work, anyway. that paycheck wasn't going to help him regardless. sounds like a dead end job to me. that supervisor did him a favor.
