It started innocently enough on Twitter. Joey Logano was having some fun on the West Coast portion of his Daytona 500 media tour Thursday when he tweeted this photo.

Then came the reaction on Twitter. “The Blues Brothers” did debut in 1980 - a decade before Logano was born. Still, the movie is considered a cult classic with its outlandish scenes, comedic touches and cameos from James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, among others.
And, yes, a car chase through a mall. How could one not watch that?
@joeylogano I think I know what you should watch this weekend!! #bluesbrothers

As Logano heard from more people about having not seen the movie, he responded on Twitter:
Ok ok ok I’ll watch it, pronto. #BluesBrothers
