After the movie Pulp Fiction came out, I recall being at my mom’s cousin’s house and him telling me a little bit about the movie. I hadn’t seen it yet. In fact, I had seen anything by Quentin Tarantino to that point. When I mentioned this to my mom’s cousin, he pivoted to telling me about Tarantino’s previous film, Reservoir Dogs, and how good that was. It was probably only a few weeks later that I ended up renting Reservoir Dogs from our local video store. I was enthralled with it scene after scene. While there were plenty of memorable moments in the film, one of the most enduring for me involved Michael Madsen and this song by Stealers Wheel.
