If anyone hasn't seen or rented the movie "Mayor of Sunset Strip", I highly HIGHLY recommend it:

http://www.firstlookmedia...unsetstrip

The movie's about a guy who was kind of the Andy Warhol of the West Coast, Rodney Bingenheimer - he's worked on the fringes of the music industry since the '60s and has befriended leagues of rock stars over the years, who pay tribute to him in this documentary.

Some of the folks who appear are Cher, David Bowie, Brian Wilson, Oasis, Coldplay, Courtney Love, Nancy Sinatra, Elvis Costello, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett, Cherie Currie and a whole boatload of people I know I'm forgetting.

Anyone who likes rock music needs to see this movie.

I told people here a long time ago. It's Cool about that Guy Groupie. Really Cool. Saw it in NY awhile ago.

How did I ever miss out on David Bowie's mid-90s mohawk phase??

Yeah, I saw it at the premire out here in L.A. I also have the dvd. Yeah, it's a very cool and somewhat sad movie, I thought.

yeah, it was very sad. i think it showed some kind of unsettling insights on fame and on the whole LA music scene. but there was also a lot about it that was sweet, too.

....endo runs off to add movie to his netflix queue.....

ooh, yes - you're gonna love love LOVE this flick. even with all the people i mentioned who are in it, there are still many of surprises and people i'm forgetting - it was just overwhelming how many rock star peoples were in this movie.

I saw it and liked it a lot. Rodney also had a brief cameo in the movie I saw last night: End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones. Talk about frickin' sad. Mayor of Sunset Strip was a pollyanna compared to this one. Yikes. I just ate it up nonetheless. Yum Yum

This is a good movie! Saw it in theatres a while back. The guy's every bit as nerdy as a good music fanboy should be - and I love him for it
