Its also worth recalling their last appearance on
MTV, episode 306 -- *easily* the most important event in all of
western culture: the pair becomes
trapped on
Planet Groovy when their life-giving sountrack ("
Sexual Healing")
mysteriously stops:
Barry: The music has ceased, Levon.
Levon: I'm starvin' for the Marvin.
Barry: I need the Gaye in a bad way!
Levon: Barry, our groove support systems have become . . .
Both: DE-FUNKED!
And then the Mother Ship arrives with a trunk full of the aforementioned two hundred and forty dollas worth o' pudd'n, and they go riding into the sunset.
A truly breathtaking epic, unmatched in aesthetic splendor -- with the possible exception of Pink Flamingos by film maker John Waters.
