MORE BANGS FOR YOUR BUCK
Let’s pick the carcass of our own documentary.
December 1, 2023
Clocking in at a lean and mean 75 minutes, the CREEM: America’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll Magazine doc is an overstuffed sausage of self-congratulatory goodness. It’s got that Goodfellas quality of, whenever it’s on, you just gotta drop what you’re doing and tune in. (AMC, give us a call unless you hate money!) Thing is, because we wanted it to be a tight little number, we had to leave some gold on the cutting-room floor.
Lucky for you, we don’t sweep up after ourselves! In fact, here are some choice unused nuggets about this issue’s man of the hour, Lester Bangs, from some smart and famous people. Also, Chad Smith. (JK luv ya, Chad.)
