How many famous connection from this one old 1983 video can you count?

Artist: The Backbeats
Album: (unknown)
Cut: "What You Got"
1983





well....

1. The video was directed by a young Steven Soderbergh (yeah, that Steven Soderberg, the famous film director (indie drama Sex, Lies & Videotape (1989), the biographical film Erin Brockovich (2000), the crime drama film Traffic (2000), the 2001 remake of the comedy heist film Ocean's 11, the experimental drama film The Girlfriend Experience (2009), the medical thriller Contagion (2011) and the comedy-drama Magic Mike (2012) and many others. Steven Soderbergh shot this video in 1983 when he was working at a video arcade in Baton Rouge near the campus of LSU. So, who directed your first band's video, huh?

2. Paul Sanchez, formerly of Cowboy Mouth, and a founding member of that New Orleans-based band, is there as well as...

3. Fred LeBlanc, still going strong in Cowboy Mouth as it's up-front-stage maniac drummer (if you've never seen Cowboy Mouth live, you are missing something special in life. I saw them live during their very first tour when I was a music critic for Flagpole in Athens, Ga and how can I tell you...they blew me away that first night!)

4. Vance DeGeneres is also in the video. You may have heard of his somewhat more famous sister, Ellen, who has a TV talk show and is a comedian.

5. Steve Walters, the second bassist from Cowboy Mouth is also playing bass in the video.
