   Les Cargill to All   
   Saw "Foxes" ( or rather part of it ).

   I misbuttoned during a Jodie Foster retrospective and accidentally   
   DVR-ed "Foxes".   
      
   Since I had it , I scanned through it a bit. Heard the words   
   "... the Angel  concert" about 15 minutes in. Looked up That Song, and   
   sure enough, this is what inspired That Song.   
      
   Hoo boy. I always wondered why That Song, and now I   
   know. hi-larious. I presume the movie was satire, but didn't   
   watch enough to find out.   
      
   The song seemed uncharitable until I saw that. It's purely about   
   the visual impact of ... that. Obviously, they were trailblazers -   
   see any other later '80s LA bands? Oh yeah.
