Don't know if anyones heard of him but Les Blank the film-maker passed away.

In the first clip he famously filmed his mate Werner Herzog eating his shoe to honour a bet - he really does! (20mins)

The second clip is from the film Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothers - and features a guy dubbed as an Andalucian Gypsy and butcher of Matador bulls... (4mins)

The third clip is my fav, its where I first encountered Les Blank, when I was about 15, my mate had this film called The Blues According To Lightning Hopkins, and this clip features Lightning just playing a bit of low-down dirty blues (5mins)

Worth watching...... especially the last one..
