Stills from the Video ~ What People Are Saying
"Gleefully goofy...says more about the ambiguities of the reception and appropriation of popular-culture icons, in just over 5 minutes, then do most academic treatises."
"Hilarious..."
Nerdy, 12-year-old Clarence can't keep his mind off his favorite actor, Jan-Michael Vincent. It's 1970. John Wayne rules the box office and Bobby Sherman climbs the record charts.
Combining film clips, animation, and video, Jan-Michael Vincent Is My Muse portrays a series of fan letters in which Clarence concocts a goofy, unintentionally erotic Western movie with leading roles meant just for himself and JMV.
Running time: 6:36
