IS "NOT FADE AWAY" THE NEW "ALMOST FAMOUS"?



Ahhh, le sigh.


To answer my own question, no. It is not. This is not a movie full of glory and fame. These guys don't make it big, but just a quick look at the movie poster and I'm sold. 

Care to spend a few hours in a dream of rock n' roll romanticism? All day, er' day.

But the fact that this was made by one of the most celebrated TV writers of our time, David Chase (Sopranos), makes it that much better. Plus, according to a Rolling Stone, this project was specifically about the music, from the start. Said Chase, "Rock and roll is at the heart of the movie because for some of the characters, rock music is the gateway to transcendence..."

Hell yes - give it to me!

On a related note, if you want a behind the scenes look at the folks responsible for the song selections, "The Music Of The Sopranos" is totally worth checking out.
