Scorsese is a The Clash worshipper, yet he still doesn't even use their music; no way is he gonna use Sonic Youth on a soundtrack, especially for an older movie...especially for Taxi Driver. I suppose the brevity was all for dramatic effect. Good suggestion though about playing the Sonic Youth with the movie's audio muted. It is a "sonic" flick.

I think the part when Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle takes Cybill Shepherd's Betsy character to the porno movie house is a bit over-the-top. Yeah, we know Travis is a bit out-of-touch...but that nutty? It's too much.
