This man is quite a mystery.
I adored him in Willard, and his rendition of the song Ben made me want to find a record. Got nowhere, so I ended up downloading one on the net and got more puzzled.
He recorded These Boots Are Made for Walking in a whining voice which made the whole song nearly unbearable (as if it was him out of River's Edge - I didn't like his interpretation at all in that good flick). Also covered PIL's This Is Not a Love Song.
He had been approached by Sonic Youth to appear in their Dave Markey directed video of Mildred Pierce, back in 1990, if I believe Roger Morton's article in the 1 September 1990 NME : "Having failed to drag River's Edge and Wild At Heart actor Crispin Glover out of his apartment to do a video cameo (he was "too freaked" they reckon), they make do instead with Kim spitting water on to Crawford's sidewalk tribute (...)"
I'd probably go to one of these shows, were I not separated from America by the ocean (and extra stuff concerning passports).
