no, that was just a way to get Kris Kristoffersen's band into the movie. but i really got a big kick out of them...they made a fun movie more so, adding a light and zany touch to it, as well as playing an important role at the end with RD.

It made me think of a story Kris tells in his concerts before he sings "Why me, Lord".

I know it is a few years late... But they are mentioned in the song...."11 long haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse micro bus"
