I could see Trump inspiring, if that's the right word, that kind of film.

Found a good-shaped copy of Ronee Blakley's 1972 album for 75 cents a couple of weeks ago.

It leads off with "Dues," three years before the film. Playing the album now--rest sounds pretty good, sort of country-gospelish.

Heard "I'm Easy" on the radio today. The song is inseparable from the film for me, that scene being so important and so perfectly directed, so I've never really had any reason to think about it as a thing unto itself. I wouldn't argue that you're knocking on Dan Hill's door here, though.

Altman said part of the reason ABC Films picked up the film was because they thought Carradine's songs would be hits and so they really wanted the soundtrack album. "I'm Easy" went to #17 Pop and topped the A/C charts (not to mention winning the Oscar), and Carradine cut two solo albums for Asylum.

I think I vaguely remember that--I loved DVD as a kid--but I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with Gibson doing the same on Laugh-In.
