This is a documentary about the life of Warhol-esque Bingenheimer, the '70s Hollywood 'groupy' and KROQ DJ - a startling portait of a man who by all rights ought to have a lot of money and friends but in actual fact appears incredibly lonely and almost resigned to this fate.
I guess our US brothers and sisters will have seen this quite a while ago but it's only recently washed up on our UK shores...I thought this film was excellent.

he used to always hang out at the Denny's on Sunset (in Hollywood). my friends and i saw him in there a couple times after seeing concerts. he was there at like 1am, alone, drinking coffee.

He was on KROQ 106.7 FM (KROQ also had an AM station for a while) in the late '70s and '80s. They were located in Pasadena at the time. To my knowledge he was not syndicated in any other cities. |

Really? So you couldn't pick up his radio station if you lived outside of LA? That's not good is it?

I haven't seen the film yet, but I agree with you about the Peel comparison. It's a shame that Rodney was only ever on in Los Angeles. Through my teens (mostly the early '80s) I always looked forward to Sunday nights listening to Rodney. |

If you get a chance to see it shine, do check it out - I couldn't recommend it more.
