i saw this movie as a first run release way back when as a 14 year old kid. i had to lie to my parents about my whereabouts as they thought the subject matter would corrupt me. after watching it for what must have been the 30th time earlier today i am convinced that dave aguilar (chocolate watchband) is the most underrated rock frontman of the psychedelic era. had fate been kinder and the recording industry less cruel we might very well be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band while playing along side the stones. and for those who have not heard the band reformed in in it's original form minus one in 1999 and recorded a live album.
