"The hottest of hot-rodders! The craziest of kittens, high school hellcats! Two
terrific teenage movies and the rockingest, rollingest of cats - starring
popular John Ashley, cute little Jody Fair, satellite-searing Gene Vincent, and
that alarmingly charming Yvonne Lime, a kitten who has all the cats howlin'!
Guys who've got what it takes, chicks who'll take all they've got - together in
two movie theater treats, Hot Rod Gang and High School Hellcats!"
Fowley knew they weren't in any danger. There wasn't any madness. There was no voodoo. Here was an overweight, obviously unhealthy, aging rock 'n' roll star - when they'd first met, Fowley assumed Gene was at least fifteen years older than he was, though they were only four years apart - and they were stuck here in artsy-fartsy purgatory. Well, we're going to fail at rock 'n' roll, Fowley thought not long after the sessions began, but we might be able to salvage a passable country record, albeit a "Gene Vincent as a Sunday school teacher singing in the minister's parlor" kind of country record.
