Speedy Motorcycle!

Here's a recycled movie recommendation from J.C.Clone of KFJC Radio, who saw a preview showing of this documentary a few nights ago:

"If you get an opportunity to see it, don't pass it up. Daniel has been an MTV icon, rubbed shoulders with Kramer, Jad Fair and Half Japanese, Sonic Youth, recorded more than 30 albums and his songs have been recorded by the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Gordan Gano, Eels, T.V. On The Radio, The Rabbit, Calvin Johnson, Bright Eyes, Death Cab For Cutie, Beck, Sparklehorse with The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Thistle, Vic Chesnutt, Starlight Mints, M. Ward,Guster, and TomWaits. Kurt Cobain was a big fan.

One of his songs was used in a Target commercial, and his art work is sold for thousands of dollars a piece.He's also literally out of his mind (manic depressive).It's happy, it's sad, it's excruciating at times. One of the most interesting documentaries I've ever seen, and not that it means anything, but Ebert and Roper gave it two big thumbs up last week.
