Don't Quit Your Day Job

In 1988, actor Bill Paxton and vocalist/guitarist Andrew Todd Rosenthal formed a short-lived rock duo, Martini Ranch. They recorded and released just one album, entitled Holy Cow, which included inputs from Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale and Alan Myers (all of whom contributed to the track “How Can the Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?”), along with Cindy Wilson of the B-52’s as a back-up vocalist, and Judge Reinhold - credited as a whistler. This video was directed by James Cameron. Yes, that one. It is remarkably, the only music video he ever shot.

The video includes cameos from ex-wife / director Kathryn Bigelow, as well as Aliens and Terminator alumni Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Mark Rolston and Jenette Goldstein. Brian Thompson (the bad guy in Cobra) and Adrian Pasdar also appear.
