NOTES:
Rockamerica promotional video compilation featuring the Pussy Galore song Dick Johnson directed by Jens Jurgensen.

Dick Johnson was originally released on the album Dial ‘M’ For Motherfucker.

The video is made-up of Black and White footage from the band miming to the song, the Dial M For Motherfucker cover shoot and other non-performance footage of the band. Much of the film has been manually modified (patterns/images scratched, marked and coloured by hand).

“Pussy Galore did a tour of the west coast with Tad from Seattle opening on what was their very first tour. They had a friend come along whose job was to find pot in every town and his name was Dick Johnson. I think Jon got a kick out of the fact that his first and last name were both names for a penis. That song is musically based around Neil’s killer guitar riff.” – thequietus.com
