6. Al Johnson, "High Fidelity"

Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 03:54 PM by asthmaticeog

Johnson is the, um, "singer" for U.S. Maple, an experimental rock group from Chicago, and one of my all time favorite bands. In "High Fidelity," he cameos as the dorky fanboy trying to buy a Captain Beefheart album from Jack Black - a lovely intertextual joke, as U.S. Maple are constantly compared to Beefheart by critics at a loss for anyone else to compare them with.
