Ask Del Shannon's old keyboard player! That's what that squealy, high-pitched keyboard was made of--junk chassis parts.

The rest is in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

I liked 'em, though. Wonder how many cars "The Blues Brothers" ate up? -Sandy G.
Just watched it Friday night with a 20-year-old friend. I had to remind them that there was no CGI in 1980, which makes the stuntwork that much more amazing! Jumping a 4,500 lb car into a moving semi-trailer, without tipping??? That scene probably violated more physics laws than all of the action movie fakes in the last 5 years! I miss fun 70s movies. I wonder what ever happened to all those unemployed stunt guys once movies started to suck, in the mid-80s?

Back to 6GH8As... As a kid who loved toob TVs, I once made some refrigerator magnets with dead 6GH8As and a hot-glue gun.

...An' there was the grandaddy of 'em all...1974's "Gone in 60 Seconds". How many cars did THAT one eat up? Who didn't squeal in delight a little when Eleanor tore thru the Caddy dealership & tore up a bunch of big, ol' expensive Caddys ?!? Yeah, I'm sick...-Sandy G.

The only scene ZI really liked in Cannonball Run II was where the little old lady crashed into the Goodyear store and flipped off the attendant. I think a 6GH8 blew out too.

Not there, but there was TRON (and that was a DISNEY film)...
