Does Mark Sanchez have a "C.C. and Company" in his future?
Overheard one of the those "Is Mark-Sanchez-the-next-Joe-Namath" conversations the other day. I think they were talking about on the field. Or maybe off the field? The Jets rookie QB has already been featured in a cheesy photo spread...and has appeared in commercials... Fine, fine. Now he needs to star in an unintentionally hilarious biker movie, such as 1970's "C.C. and Company," like Broadway Joe. (Bought my copy when Woolworth's was going out of business on 14th Street.)
Oh, how romantic!
P.S.

You know, just something about an ad for hemorrhoids next to a "Deli & Appetizing" sign.

Mötley Crüe - Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
Uploaded by UniversalMusicGroup. - Watch more music videos, in HD!
I missed this gem by Alex over at the New York Nobody Sings.
There are plenty of music videos that seem to go out of their way to feature Manhattan. For example, Motley Crue's largely lamentable "Girl Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" finds preternaturally annoying vocalist Vince Neil living in a spacious loft in the meatpacking district (while his band mates are still walking around Hollywood). Sixteen years after said video was filmed, the building that Vince supposedly lived in -- then the headquarters of legitimate meatpacking firm, Western Beef -- was turned into a tony Belgian restaurant called Markt. That restaurant lost its lease in 2007, and the space is now the home of the meatpacking district's own needless branch of The Apple Store.
