Remember when music videos were great? Bill Fishman does, but mostly because he made a lot of them. Like, A LOT. After cutting his teeth with the likes of the Ramones, Hank Williams, Jr., and Wilco among so many others, the idiosyncratic director broke into features with TAPEHEADS, which appropriately enough is about the music video biz.
