La Fin de La Semaine Essay Question: Special "The Cinema is Truth 24 Frames-per-Second" Edition

Or so said pretentious frog auteur Jean-Luc Godard, but what the fuck did he know?

In any case, I bring it up because a certain Shady Dame and I have been bingeing on documentaries of late -- specifically, music/rock-and-roll documentaries. I can't remember all of them, but I do know that in the last two weeks we watched docs on The Cowsills (creepy and sad), The Hollies (lotsa fun), Led Zeppelin (a little dull) and Billy Joel (a must see, even if you're not particularly a fan of either the man or his music. Among other things, it's an amazing time capsule of the last 60 or so years of pop culture).

All of which leads us, inexorably, to the subject of the business at hand. To wit:

...and your favorite (or least favorite) non-bio-pic film about a post-Elvis pop/rock/folk/soul/r&b/country group or solo artist is...???

No arbitrary rules here; obviously, I'm talking about documentaries per se, but I understand that, for example, a lot of good music movies blur the distinction between docs and concert flick. So if that's what floats your boat, then go for it!

Anyway, in case you're wondering, my choice in the fave category is this one.

Great story, great music and a charismatic figure at the center of it -- what more could you want?

Alrighty then -- what would YOUR choices be?

And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
