Mayor of the Sunset Strip

I was immediately intrigued when I saw a trailer for this movie. I've always been a big fan of 'rock and roll' and here's somebody who's been dubbed THE MAYOR. Turns out it's a documentary about a guy by the name of Rodney Bingenheimer. This guy is friends with everybody. He was around when the Beatles, Cher, Bing Crosby and Alice Cooper were making it big. He's still around now and friends with people like Gwen Stefani and Green Day. I had never heard of this guy before, but obviously he's big. This is somebody that just loves the music, but hasn't really tried to take advantage of it. They showed his home and he by no means lives large. You might think that people have been using him over the years. I'm not really sure about that, but I really felt bad for the guy. He's a friend to so many, yet, those friends seem to not always come through for him. He currently has/had (movie came out in 2003) a radio show where his hours were being cut. You would think somebody would snatch him up. I love listening to Alice Cooper Nights and Jonesy's Jukebox (Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols). These are real rockers telling you stories and giving their opinions on bands that they personally know. It's not like they're just fans who consider themselves experts. If you like documentaries and are a little bit interested in the music scene, I think you'll probably find this one interesting.
