It's from a 1976 movie called Network (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/), in which a newsreader starts telling the truth and gets people to go to their windows and shout "I'm mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take it any more."
Aaron Russo made a film called Mad as Hell (http://video.google.co.uk/url?docid=-1584595362217609102&esrc=sr1&ev=v&len=5406&q=aaron%2Brusso%2Bmad%2Bas%2Bhell&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.co.uk%2Fvideoplay %3Fdocid%3D-1584595362217609102&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-1584595362217609102%26q%3Daaron%2Brusso%2Bmad%2Bas %2Bhell%26total%3D7%26start%3D0%26num%3D10%26so%3D 0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D0&usg=AL29H22nw6BdCmCxdS3Z093xIC36HLiSuw), a title which was clearly inspired by that bit from Network.

Before that he produced The Rose and Trading Places, and before that he brought Led Zeppelin to America, and promoted other bands, like The Who.

an hero does not depart oneself on a beeping machine who instead shoots oneself upwards through one's mouth with a 17th century pistol :o
plus i doubt his willing to make f2f if it were not for his fatal condition :)
