Actually the film is about Roky Erickson. His stint in the 13th
Floor Elevators is just one part of the flick. Keven has turned in
a brilliant piece of work - harrowing, sympathetic, and yet
completely unblinking in telling Roky's story, but don't go see it
just for Patti as she's in it for just a minute or two.
BTW, for anyone who cares, Roky's come a long, long way; turning in a
terrific, forceful show at last month's Austin City Limits Festival.
