Danny Fields in Danny Says (2015)
Since 1966, Danny Fields has played a pivotal role in music and "culture" of the late 20th century: working for the Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. 'Danny Says' follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to "punk pioneer" and beyond. Danny's taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient.

    • Quotes

      Danny Fields: This is a good metaphor for everything, we just pretended there was no known way of doing it, and maybe someone knew a known way of doing it, and admit what we don't know. And be proud of what we don't know. And make a virtue of what we don't know. And turn a lack of expertise, lack of virtuosity, into an asset.

    Wonderful Time Capsule
    I was born 15 years later than Danny Fields, and grew up with the music and artists he loved and promoted, beginning with the mid sixties, and following his exploits all the way to punk rock. This documentary of Danny Fields, a name most people are probably unfamiliar with, is unique in it's presentation, making use of illustrations, archival music video, personal films, and extensive interviews presenting unique perspectives of the influential musicians, artists, and people behind the scenes. Danny Fields comes across as a truly genuine genius of musical taste, but also a man who just wanted to have friends, and love. I absolutely loved this film!
