Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Marc Ribler & Story Road Drop New Music Video for “Dick Cavett” featuring Dick Cavett
American singer-songwriter Marc Ribler and his band Story Road have dropped a new music video for “Dick Cavett”.
The video was directed by Robert Bader, featuring American television personality Dick Cavett.
Featuring vintage clips of iconic guests like Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Janis Joplin, and many more from The Dick Cavett Show, the music video is a nostalgic, affectionate, and irreverent homage to the namesake of the song.
The song is featured on their new album “Armageddon”, which was released last November.
Marc Ribler said of the song, “Like so many of us, I grew up with the Dick Cavett show. In retrospect it is eminently clear that Dick was one of the most important presenters of the rock 'n' roll renaissance, not to mention introducing all the key players in every awe-inspiring and earth-shaking event happening in our culture in the 60s, 70s and beyond.”- He continued, “I had a dream that one fine day I wrote a song called 'Dick Cavett', In some 5th dimension magical, mystical reality, Dick heard the song, loved it and asked if I'd like to come to his house to make a music video. Either I'm in a 60s time warp tripping my ass off, or this dream has come true. Many thanks to Dick and his lovely wife Martha - who also appears in the video.”
March 4, 2024 will mark 56 years since the culture-defining Dick Cavett Show premiered on ABC. The Emmy award-winning program featured interviews with major figures in pop culture, rock and roll, jazz, politics, art, literature, sports and beyond. -
