Rock and Roll Movies

Here's a sad story from Mammoth Mountain ski area in California- three ski patrols died. Wouldn't you think these guys would be equipped with oxygen tanks? Isn't is pretty well-known that breathing volcanic gasses can kill you?

There's a new biopic about former Rolling Stone Brian Jones coming out soon. This guy says it's not all that great, but I'm definitely going to see it. The trailer looks pretty good to me (watch it here).

With the success of Ray and Walk the Line, I'm hoping there's going to be more musician biopics coming out. Roger Daltrey has wanted to do a Keith Moon movie for a long time, and recently Mike Myers agreed to play Moon. (I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. Moon was pretty goofy, and Myers should be able to nail his accent, so it might work out.) However, the movie's being held up because Daltrey has yet to read a script that he likes. I hope it gets resolved, because that would make for a great movie.

jon,
speaking of musician biopics i would recommend "DiG" for a rental on netflix or the library. it's about the brian jonestown massacre and the dandy warhols. lots of drugs and disfunction. good entertainment in my book.
