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.

If you get a chance to see it shine, do check it out - I couldn't recommend it more.
Bingenheimer is I think perhaps the best equivalent that the US has to the late John Peel.

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. |

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

| 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. |

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.
