“How Can The Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?” by Martini Ranch, Bill Paxton’s band from the 1980s*. From the Wiki page: “The video was produced and engineered by Devo guitarist Bob Casale and also featured drummer Alan Myers, and vocalist Mark Mothersbaugh on keyboards. …Besides Andrew Todd (Rosenthal) and Paxton, the cast of the video features cameos by actors associated with Paxton. Anthony Michael Hall, with whom Bill Paxton starred in the 1985 film Weird Science and Rick Rossovich, who appeared with Paxton in The Lords of Discipline, Streets of Fire and The Terminator), represent intellectual class and working class men. Other appearances include Michael Biehn (The Lords of Discipline and The Terminator), Judge Reinhold (The Lords of Discipline) and Kathryn Bigelow (director of Near Dark).”
* According to Wiki, the band is back in business, with an album due out by year’s end.
