11 DAYS TO MCQUEEN FILM FESTIVAL!
In 2002, musical artist Sheryl Crow scored a hit with the song "Steve McQueen". The music video featured Dave Kunz's replica of the 1968 Ford 390 cubic inch Mustang GT Fastback that was used in the McQueen film "Bullitt". The CD was extremely well produced and featured "Soak Up The Sun" as a second hit single. It closes with the very moving "Weather Channel"--one of my favorites!
Jennifer Caputo was Sheryl's stunt double during the shoot. After filming, Sheryl autographed Dave's drivers door panel (below).
All of which is to say that we will launch the 4th Annual "Steve McQueen Film Festival" here on this BLOG Page March 22nd through March 31st. Last year, 6,347 participants enjoyed our offering. This year, the movie selections will be featured out-of-sequence with a very Special Guest to be interviewed! This is a labor of love for me as new generations of Steve McQueen fans invariably begin discovering "The King of Cool" for the first time. Steve's films are refreshingly relevant on so many levels for the serious actor to movie lovers who are just now beginning to enjoy reissues. Older fans are often surprised to grasp just how much detail went into each of McQueen's productions and performances alike. I sincerely hope you will enjoy what we have assembled for this year. Until then, we return to our regular BLOG programming!-
My personal thanks to Dave Kunz for making his photos available
for me to share with you!

Yeehaa!
Coolness! Absolute coolness!
D-Man: She is a fine artist and a beautiful lady!
Morning, Patti! lol! You are as cool as Sheryl Crow! :D)
I love Sheryl Crow's music and will have to look up her video for "Steve McQueen." I know the song, but haven't seen the video.
Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the Festival. The last one was excellent.
Now you are talking my style!
Have a great rest of the week
Love, Jess
Hey M.,
Yayy! I'm a total Sheryl Crowe fan!!
I forgot she did that.Great reminder!Thanks.
*hugggs*
Sage: In addition to being a beautiful woman, she is a fine guitarist and gifted songwriter. Her video captured the eseence of Steve as both a cultural icon and an action hero! :)
P M: I'll be doing a hell of a lot of work on the Fetival this weekend! It's a true Labor of Love for me! :)
Jean-Luc Picard: Thank you! There are so many aspects to it and of course, there have been a number of changes over the years. 2006 was exhaustive and lasted one full month. I hope to deliver something that you will enjoy! I may even want to hire "The Strolling Drones" if they have recovered from your excellent New Years Eve Party I attended in England!
Jess: YOU have style and Love and Class!!! lol! :)
Tammi: Check out "Weather Channel". That is her sheer genius as a songwriter! lol! :)
My mother was always a huge Steve McQueen fan so I saw all his films when I was young. A festival is a great idea! I'll have to come back and take a look.
I hope you are feeling much better now.
Bob-kat: Hey, thanks for the concern. I am 90% back!
Sheryl Crow and Stevie McQueens car hmmmmm
I'd take the car.
She'd be to hard to catch the car would run out of gas
Walker: Maybe not hard to catch if you had the right connections. She strikes me as a person who also knows how to pay attention to the right stuff, which I find very appealing about her...among other things--all GOOD by the way! :D) ...ALL GOOD!!
