Sadness and the culture of celebrity
9 August 2004
This was an excellent movie that shows that the happiness of that comes with a celebrity life-style is a very thin veneer covering something empty and sad. Rodney Bingenheimer is an LA disc jockey who has introduced many major musical acts over the last 25 years, including David Bowie, The Ramones, Coldplay and more. His 'friends' include Bowie, Cher, Nancy Sinatra, Debbie Harry (Blondie), and a multitude of other celebrities.

What begins as an amazing story of essentially a street kid who became a famous disc jockey, quickly becomes a sad story of a man who has given a lot more to an industry and to people than he has gotten back.

This is a great film. The movie makers did a great job in getting the feelings of the people across and shows Rodney's very sad, almost upsetting existence. The movie does have a lot of funny moments. Great movie – go see it!!!
