I Will Not Be Pushed . . .

[collisionwork]

I've been vaguely looking for The Times' song "I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape" for years now - that is, wanting a copy, but rarely reminded of it.
Heard the song once on a mixtape from a roommate about 19 years ago. Found it recently and downloaded it. Was just listening to it and was reminded that there was a video for the song that I'd never seen and always wanted to. Took a look for the video.

I do indeed love the YouTube . . .

I've gotten the work I need to done for the day -- might be a good evening for a mini-marathon of episodes of The Prisoner



I may be almost 40, but I still want to be Patrick McGoohan when I grow up . . .



Be seeing you . . .

Hey! Did you miss this (http://mcbrennan.livejournal.com/240853.html)? :-)

Apparently so! - though I have vague memories of your post and figuring out what the video probably was from the comments . . . I was only on dialup at the time, and didn't even bother trying to watch videos, and forgot all about it.

The comment from a friend above and some more YouTubing have led me to two more Portmeirion/Prisoner-related music videos, not as good, but enjoyable enough for a Prisoner geek . . .

Grrr - - - the videos showed up in my preview, but not in the posted comment.

for a remake ...

I doubt that they'd go with my first pick for a Prisoner remake, but Hugh Laurie would seem to be the most obvious current-day choice of star.
