Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 2019 - USA - 75 MINUTES A FILM BY SCOTT CRAWFORD FEATURING: CAMERON CROWE, ALICE COOPER, KIRK HAMMETT, JOAN JETT, MICHAEL STIPE, GENE SIMMONS, PAUL STANLEY, CHAD SMITH, PETER WOLF, WAYNE KRAMER Distributed in Canada by WeLikeFilms in association with Hollywood Suite Rent the film for $9.99 starting on July 31st here; http://www.filmswelike.com/films/creem-americas-only-rock-n-roll-magazine Ripping back the curtain on legendary rock rag CREEM Magazine's wild and disruptive newsroom; a dysfunctional band of unruly outsiders who weren’t all that different from the artists they covered. Capturing the messy upheaval of the '70s just as rock was re-inventing itself, the film explores Creem Magazine's humble beginnings in post-riot Detroit, follows its upward trajectory from underground paper to national powerhouse, then bears witness to its imminent demise following the tragic and untimely deaths of its visionary publisher, Barry Kramer, and its most famous alum and genius clown prince, Lester Bangs, a year later. Fifty years after publishing its first issue, "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine" remains a seditious spirit in music and culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
