...called Cocksucker Blues, after a song Mick Jagger wrote to anger record company executives with its stark, homoerotic lyrics and the aggressive manner in which he sings them. Although the movie was originally commissioned by the Stones themselves, they blocked its release when they saw the scenes of drug use and graphic groupie sex. After years of legal headaches, the band and Frank agreed to a sort-of compromise: the film can be shown only a few times a year, and Frank himself decides where and when, so that he may be present to ensure the screening meets his approval...
...situation is that a mob hit has been ordered on a drug-addled Las Vegas magician/informer. Competing hit teams - bounty hunters, neo-Nazis, a pair of deadly lesbian ladies - turn up to compete for the million dollars on offer for completing the job. The FBI, of course, is attempting to protect the man they hope is going to be their star witness. Pretty soon everyone get to killing everyone else.

Bush himself made a surprise phone call this month to Washington's bitter cold war enemy, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, to congratulate him on winning...
...aside a looming apartment block whose resident unemployment level Vercamer reports as 100%. Nearby, two desperately poor men on a bench nurse cans of beer; in the distance a young man shouts at Vercamer about a municipal job the mayor was to secure for him - "One of the local [drug] dealers, who wouldn't consider the pay cut involved in taking a real job", he confides.
