Like being hit with silly string on a public bus

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2009)

Its funny...I can remember looking up some old interview tapes on You Tube of Robert Plant in the late 1960s done by the BBC TV network in England when Led Zeppelin had just got of the ground,and thinking that whoever made this film had not done much in the way of research into what England was like in the 60s. I thought this film was a very well intentioned albeit total joke of a film that should have been stopped at the early production levels because it contained such gross misreadings of England re its views on rock music. If anything England cold be accused of being yes men where its rockers were concerned. Anything that Mick Jagger did was one the news back then, and he was one of the few rock musicians who got into hot water for being too much of a free spirit. You know what they say..any publicity is good if you are a musician, but I doubt this film will do much for record sales of old rock bands since it alienates anyone who is familiar with the British music scene in its early days. British people like to party and that has never been a secret. According to this tome of a movie that is not the case.
