** Linklater's first idea was an entire film consisting of two guys driving around in a car and talking while listening to ZZ Top. The movie would have had a total of two shots: one in which one of the guys puts the ZZ Top album Fandango! in the car's eight-track player; and the second a oner of the two guys talking for the rest of the movie. Fandango! would be playing in the background all the time, with the movie ending exactly when the album did.
