Billboard on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, CA promoting the film, "Can't Stop The Music" 1980 |
This billboard, promoting the Village People disco-musical "Can't Stop the Music" graced Sunset Blvd near the corner of Laurel Canyon. The billboard itself actually had a traffic-stopping, star-studded, red-carpet, unveiling ceremony on "Can't Stop The Music Day" (Thank you, mayor Tom Bradley). The red carpet extended from the billboard all the way to the door of the famous Schwab's drugstore.
Long after the movie - a monumental flop - had disappeared from theaters, this billboard was still up.
