message: The last sentence "The film itself is under a court order which forbids it from being shown unless the director is physically present, most likely due to the various illegal activities depicted taking place around the band. However, bootleg copies of the film are available. needs  a source, and probably should be deleted until one is provided, but I didn't feel like deleting it. TheRingess 07:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Does this mean "ofay" artists, or something else? If the former, remove?
>>uhm, the link for "fey" now redirects to a page called "gay slang," on which the word "fey" doesn't even exist.  maybe that should be fixed...
I removed it. Hopefully someone will be motivated to put it back with an explanation, if it's significant. 17:20, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The information about Marilyn Manson living in Mary Astor's house in Los Angeles is inaccurate. I bought the house (built in 1929) on Appian Way in 1979 from film producer Michael Gruskoff and lived there until I sold it on July 7, 2004  to film and TV actress Andrea de Matteo. Marilyn Manson was never there when I owned it. Mrneige (talk) 19:11, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Correction (re. Marilyn Manson) 

message: (Please fact check.  This is from memory: ) "Cocksucker Blues" was shown for about 20 years only once a year, in one theater, in San Francisco, where Robert Frank lives.  However, sometime in the mid-90's, the film was screened at the Anthology Film Archives in Manhattan (I attended).  I do not know if Robert Frank was present.
I've moved this interesting comment from the page, where it was floating in the reference field. MartinSFSA (talk) 13:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did it play regularly in San Francisco? 

message: "Curiously sparse on songs and ostensibly unconcerned with band’s musical process, the film, rather than act as bystander, becomes one with its subject. Haphazardly arranged, Cocksucker Blues is less a film than a chattering cocaine hum."
That's some terrible writing. --71.205.212.187 (talk) 10:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Who wrote this? 

message: I stumbled across this film on the list of banned films page. However, when I checked the BBFC website there is a 15-rated film of a similar name, released on video on 	01/02/2010. Is this the same film?  -   Shastrix (talk) 18:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Has it been released?

message: Due to the language and tone of the sentence, "The provocative title notwithstanding, its nudity, needles and hedonism was enough to get the picture shelved, and this was during a liberal climate that saw the likes of Chafed Elbows, Deep Throat, and Cry Uncle! playing in neighborhood theaters.", I felt it was necessary to provide a POV disclaimer on the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.247.166.29 (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The title of this movie shares the name with a then unreleased song the Stone's song (Cocksucker Blues, aka Schoolboy Blues) recorded solely to fulfill a contractual obligation to Decca, their label at the time, in 1970. Schoolboy Blues was intentionally filled with explicit gay sex reverences so it would be unrealizable by the label. It was intended to be a song Decca wouldn't ever release but which would satisfy Decca's claim they needed to submit at least one more single before their current contract could be concluded with. As a way to get back at Decca management whom the Stone's had grown to detest, the wrote and submitted a very vulgar song. This was successful i  allowing then leave to form their own label while preventing Decca from profiting off their last single for the label. The song was intended by the band to always remain unreleased but a German Record label accentually released it on a Stone's box set in they produced 1983 though after discovering their mistake, they recalled and released the box set without the song included. The song has since leaked onto the internet. I don't known whether the documentary movie got it's title from the song or not but maybe that can be clear up. Since their isn't a article on the song itself and since this article makes reference to their being a Stone's song of the same name, maybe we should include a mention of the song in this article, as the inspiration for the movie's title, if that can be verified. Or maybe the song itself is notable enough to deserve at least a stub article separately. Notcharliechaplin (talk) 20:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that the song should indeed be considered sufficiently notable. In particular, I just came about it via a footnote in chapter 3 of the 2019 book Entertainment Science (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-89292-4) which itself cites the 2013 TopTenz listicle "Top 10 Albums Only Recorded Because Of Contractual Obligations" (https://www.toptenz.net/top-10-albums-only-recorded-because-of-contractual-obligations.php).
