a wildboyz birthday tribute to harry dean stanton
On this day in 1926, Harry Dean Stanton was born unto the annals of American cult cinema, ears, drawl, and all. More than deserving of a lifetime achievement award, Mr. Stanton has appeared in a host of supporting actor roles, most memorably in such celluloid classics as Cool Hand Luke, Repo Man, Red Dawn, and Dream a Little Dream—and that’s to name just a few. The long and the short of this soon-to-be-segued theme, though, is that Harry, while playing private detective Johnnie Farragut in David Lynch’s Wild at Heart, met an unfortunate demise at the hands of some funky voodoo magic shit down in the Dirty Dirty, a/k/a New Orleans. And, as you will see here, the Wildboyz do indeed know a thing or two about pain and suffering in New Orleans at the hands of some funky voodoo magic shit (with a twist of Lynch to boot).
