Subject: Review: You're Gonna Miss Me
Please elf to BS if not suitable for this side if the line, but...
I've just watched "You're Gonna Miss Me", the documentary about Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators that was made a few years ago. It's very rare that a music documentary actually makes me blub, but this one did. Roky came across as possibly the nicest man in rock. A beautiful film about psychedelia, mental illness, family life and triumph over adversity. And a shed load of clips of Roky performing as a bonus. Go and watch it, I urge you.
