Remember the music video for George Thorogood's Bad To The Bone? It's turned up on youtube (link below). The video was made in the early 80's, I think, and has a theme like the movie The Hustler. Thorogood is a Fast Eddie -type character, Bo Diddley is the Minnesota Fats character, and Willie Mosconi is the money man Bert Gordon character. Of course, Thorogood and Bo Diddley can't play worth a damn, but it is the real Willie Mosconi accompanying a rather bodacious gal pal to back Fats in the big game. Good music too.
I think there may be other real life pool people in the video. Is that Richie Florence in there? Anybody else?
