Aw, hell. If that is all that is holding things up, I'll drive the rig.

Reveille, Reveille

Woke up and turned on the TV. My Favorite western of all time has just started on TNT. The Magnificent Seven.

The stars, Brynner, McQueen, Bronson, Vaughn, Coburn, and Wallach. One Mexican starlet, Rosenda Monteros. One of the greatest scores of all time composed by Elmer Bernstein. Viewing this movie gives you re-affirmation that you are an American guy...

Both LBG and I agree that the pure McQueen-ness alone is reason enough to go out and buy the new Mustang...

Some Notes:

John Williams was a performer in Elmer Bernstein's orchestra during the scoring of the film. He played the piano. This is awesome. It says so much about William's further success.

Robert Vaughn is the last surviving member of the original Seven.

Steve McQueen couldn't, contractually, work on the film due to a TV series commitment, so he crashed a car and did it during his 'recovery time'.
