Check the testimonials by Eddie Vedder, George Harrison, Rick Rubin, Johnny Depp, Dave Grohl and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks who claims if Tom Petty had asked her to leave the Mac and join the Heartbreakers she woulda done it in a… heartbeat.
Oh yeah, and the New York Times wrote something we kind of already knew (otherwise why else would be here?) or rather wrote about our raison d’être. Apparently the film world is looking towards the music world for inspiration these days. Really who knew? And seriously, who knew that cinema’s biggest bookworm/most pretentious ascot wearing director – the lovably nerdy Peter Bogdanovich – gave a shit about something as pedestrian as rock n’ roll? Doesn’t he have an Orson Welles dinner fete to attend? [ed. he actually prefers neck handkerchiefs]
Bogdanovich’s ‘Runnin’ Down A Dream‘ Tom Petty and co. documentary screens during the currently-happening New York Film Festival and hits limited release next Monday (Oct 15.)
The DVD is available (only at BestBuy of course) on October 16.
