as funny as a Big Electric Cat!, 27 July 1999
9/10
Author: Brian Markovitz from Venice, CA

This is a shining satire on Rock'n'Roll including tributes to concert impresario Bill Graham and the whole hippie music scene, but with swipes at many others. A funny funny funny movie from the director of Rock N Roll High School.

Featuring hilarious cameos by Lou Reed and Howard Kaylen (of The Turtles). If you see it on the shelves, rent it.
