Recently I saw the “20 feet from Stardom” a documentary about back up singers and what it takes to be the headliner. Featuruing big names like Bette Midler, Sting, Bruce Springsteen and more. Loved it!
Two very different documentaries about famous musicians.
The first was Searching for Sugarman, http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/searching_for_sugar_man/
I think Rodriguez’ story is a real life version of “Horton hears a Who”.
The second was Beware of Mr Baker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83XdEBl0KUg. Ginger Baker is
most definitely one of the world’s most innovative rock drummers. A very edgy film with fabulous
footage and a lot of swearing (if you have sensitive ears).
Incredible flicks if you are into music!
Update: Rodriguez just came to town. Here is a post about the show with photos. People went crazy for him .
