Anybody else just LOVE Buckaroo's entrance to the club where he and his band are playing?

He is strutting down the aisle and the girls and guys are patting him on the back and he is wearing the typical shoulder pads and collar turned up. He twirls around and smiles that Peter Weller grin. Do you not love Perfect Tommy's jacket???

And then the guys start playing and swaying to the music. I love that scene.
and that song.

He's one heck of a non-regular guy. :)

"Do you not love Perfect Tommy's jacket???"

Ugh. Hate it! It's the worst.

However, it is a perfect example of early 80s, ahem, style, if that's what you mean, and yeah, I love it for that. I think Reno is also wearing two belts, so typical of that era.

I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
