Perhaps as a response to Taylor Swift’s uncomfortably vampiric need to bring famous women onstage as part of her concerts, the Queen B Beyonce recently shared a bit of gal power from the stage in Philadelphia with another strong woman — MMA fighter Ronda Rousey.

In 2013 a guy named Doug Aitken made a weird art-freak train trip across the country in which people like Thurston Moore, Cat Power and Beck showed up to take part in the ride.

These events were then turned into a movie called Station To Station.

Sarah reviewed Station To Station for Consequence Of Sound.

Gary Busey

Professional actor and slightly odd fellow Gary Busey also happens to be an expert in the fighting arts.
