Pretentious drivel. Have you ever read the lyrics to a rock song? They have nothing to say! What is all this crap about rock stars being philisophical icons or some crazy shit? Sure, music can “stir the emotions”, but it rarely has more than a passing impact. There are exceptions, I’m sure, but early 70’s rock isn’t it. I imagine the “real person” on which this movie is based uses this film as masturbation material. Which is sad, because he’s probably a good writer… but do we really have to be beat over the head with it all?
