interesting reading other’s comments on this.

i was surprised by how much i liked this. i remember hedwig and the angry inch: if the music had sucked, this would have been the biggest waste of time. but luckily the music didnt suck, it totally made both films.

simple story, and i thought it was a very honest representation of what its like going through the process of songwriting and recording.
i guess i like the poignancy of the ending, its total ambiguity. i just like that there wasnt any silly success story, how the album made him famous. sometimes that’s all there is, just a good album that probably no one else but you and your friends will hear.
