Imagine this as a television pilot except starring Larry De Perv and Spike.  ApMike could produce.

This makes the Super Bowl Shuffle look and sound like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Now we know why they left LA.  I'll answer you back with this:

When's the last time you saw a live performer receive gross pornographic phone calls onstage? Did that happen a lot in the '50s? You'd think he would stop answering the phone. Or not bring a phone onstage with him.

R. Stevie's version is pretty amazing.

He made the difficult transition from pornographic telegrams to pornographic phone calls pretty well, though.

If cell phones had been around in 1959, the authorities would have had to investigate whether any pornographic phone calls received by the Bopper mid-flight had led to instrument failure and caused their crash.

Looking at that clip again, the Bopper was a pretty good actor. He would have been a great Sgt. Carter on Gomer Pyle, and I can't think of a single Beau Bridges role the Bopper couldn't have nailed.

Update!

Did you know: In 1959, J.P. Richardson had a prototype version of the Swedish Mobile System A automatic car phone - unveiled to the public in 1960 - commissioned for use in what he called "Bopper Business"?

I am mentally unable to read that "Did you know" without imagining it in JW's voice. "Bopper Business" sounds like one of those phrases he'd keep using and Tom would tell him to stop saying because it makes him feel uncomfortable.

A. Very expressive eyebrows.


B. Why no Big Bopper biopic?  Are you telling me there's no Gary Busey/Lou Diamond Philips in the rough out there that couldn't make his name playing ol' JP?


Bonus points if they avoid using "Chantilly Lace" in the title.

Steven Soderbergh is going to re-make 'La Bamba' from the Big Bopper's point of view.

"Will I Whaaat?": The Big Bopper Story

[Wes]

I kind of want this Bopper movie to be like Autofocus, centering on the Bopper's crippling addiction to telephonic pornography. The Bopper would be played by Russell Crowe, getting back up to his Insider-era weight. It would end with an enraged Buddy Holly (Michael Shannon) brandishing his .22 and chasing the Bopper around the plane while "Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor" plays. I'd like it to be called Bopper Business, but that might be too filthy of a title to get wide release.

Wow, I'd never heard that one.  Maybe he's justifiably overlooked.

I think that's the one where the Hogan's Hero guy gets involved with pornography and dies.
