"Plastic Jesus" - Justine Lucas & Jordan Finlay (Two Drifters)

[@katyaa6556]

My mom passed away in Feb of this year, this was one of her favorite songs. I passed my road test today. Here's to you momma.

[@JustineLucas]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. that's really hard. what's her name? maybe we could dedicate the song to her if Jordan and I ever get together and play a show some day. He lives in Oregon and I'm down in California, but we met in Utah. I really like this song too, I heard it in an old movie called Cool Hand Luke when I was a kid. I feel like music captures memories in ways plain words can't.

I'm a geezer and have loved this tune since I first saw Cool Hand Luke. This is my favorite version thus far.

Ruby Modine did it well also. Hard to find, though.

I can't stop listing to this version. My favorite version of this song! Love from Minnesota!

[@cliffhooper3558]

Same here.. everyone that I've shared it with feels the same too

[@sdovas]

Y'know as great a version as this is, what I think I like most about this clip is that it looks and feels like an excerpt of some wonderful and obscure little indie movie that I've never seen or heard of. Nicely done.

[@JustineLucas]

Oh wow, thanks so much! This is one of the coolest compliments I've ever received. It inspires me to want to make an obscure indie movie. Maybe someday I will! 💗🌟

[@sdovas]

@@JustineLucas sad to say it's a money-losing prospect (as the indie musician laffs in my face) unless cred and respect can be eaten or make car payments. Keep on...!

[@tyanez]

I thought the same, like Jim Jarmusch film, maybe. Oddly, he shoots in b/w, often uses musicians as actors, and often focuses on travelers, or two drifters in this case. Yeah, really nice feel to it.

Hey. Sorry for joining in late. But this is brilliant. The poetry of the road and its passing and roaming souls, captured in the back of a car on some parking somewhere sometime ago. Your performance transported me in my years of devouring Kerouac, Bukowski and alike. You two look beautiful people, simple and true. My favorite kind o_0 This is so far my 2nd favourite version of that song, after Paul Newman’s. Thank you for this gem. I wish the very best to the two of you!

The origin of this song was a short radio skit. Earnie Marrs filled it out to a full folk song, and you can hear him and my father (Bud Foote) and Eleanor Walden singing it on the Smithsonian Music Archive. My father is the rough baritone.

Wonderful stuff, you two!!! This song has been stuck in my head for weeks at a time, and your lovely rendition is so...perfect. And the video is heart-warming and a little bizarre...in a good way. Makes me wonder. I re-discovered this song while re-watching Cool Hand Luke recently, and happened to receive a banjo as a gift around the same time--and partly because of your song, having shared your video with several people. I'm pretty much a beginner, though I've been tinkering with finger-picking on my guitar for a while now. I'm wondering if you can tell me a bit about how you arranged this, please. What Key you're in, the harmonies, any special choices you made, little secrets that make it so great. I don't know much about musical terms, so...this would be a great way to learn my first song, with your support/suggestions. If you'd be so kind :)
