Re: 13th Floor Elevators

I think its wonderful Roky is bouncing back from such shameless
treatment----for a joint he had to plead insanity. Bad move, as far as his
brain is concerned.
Too bad he got caught--in the 60s a seed could send you to prison. Absurd.

I'd love to see this film--the 13th Floor Elevators were an amazing band!

  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.
