Youth of America vs. Over The Edge

I'd like to make a movie to just have some longing road scene set to "Blue Cowboy". That's always been one of my favorites by Greg Sage/Wipers. They had a cool sound with all that echo and use of space. There is a Lexington punk band called The Elsinores that name dropped them on one of their flyers and they do have 'that sound', so someone is still finding their records which is cool.

Does anybody remember the movie Over The Edge? The Citizen Kane of stoned and dangerous 70s teen movies.

the men's faster songs on leave home are really indebted to the first trio of songs from Over the Edge

speaking of cool old videos that have the words "over the edge" in them, does anyone know of cool old wipers footage on the internet? it reminds me of my quest for old pylon footage in that there's one tantalizing clip that i can find, from a doc on portland music, and it's just an excerpt of a really good live performance of "over the edge". i want more! more cool old wipers footage! i don't ask for much

...so what you're telling me is that cold old wipers footage doesn't exist

it's even more frustrating because just like the rare old school pylon footage, the only glimpse i can find it so tantalizing.
