Gov. George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell)
picks Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), the
CEO of Halliburton Co., to be his running
mate in the 2000 presidential election. When
Bush wins, Cheney uses his newfound
power to help reshape the country and the
world
southern-fried flavor. But the biggest
standout is probably “Bullshit” – it’s got
great classic rock guitar licks along with
these pauses that sound like they’re open
for play and interpretation, maybe in the
form of a remix with a rap guest artist?
When asked if he’d be willing to reach
outside the blues-influenced music for
something like that, O’Rourke was all for
it. “Sure,” he replied. “It has been suggest-
ed to me that I collaborate with some peo-
ple who may be farther along with their
celebrity or appeal. There are certain tech-
niques that people use to get attention for
their work and certainly collaborating with
other artists is one of them, and I’d be very
open to that. I still think I found the sweet
spot in what I should be doing on this
record, so I would want it to stay within
these boundaries and this sort of instru-
mentation. But I’m not against rap or hav-
ing a rapper [collaborate].”
Although O’Rourke recently completed
renovations on his home studio, he has
decided to take advantage of his own
musical “second wind.” "I’ll probably start
working on a new record immediately [in
the new year],” he says. “This is, primarily,
what I do now - the Jay O’Rourke band. It
seems a little weird to start something new
at more than 60 years old, but the fact that
I’m in a position to do it, I have the facili-
ties for us to work in…I don’t want to not
capitalize on the opportunity. The band is
solid; these are the people I’ve chosen to
work with, and they want to do it. It’s not
that strange. It makes sense to me.”
Appearing: 12/1 at Reggie’s, Chicago.
