I bet gtr/tambourine guy is super-psyched about not having to work to achieve the hairstyle anymore.

Banjo/tambourine guy and the drummer, however, are just plain lazy.

one year passes...

I've seen this and the story is amazing, even though the only performance footage is from 2 (I think) German TV pop shows of the time; otherwise it's mostly stills w/ records playing, and talking heads. It takes a little longer with the Army days in the first 20 minutes than I first thought necessary, but then the pair of German Gestalt gurus come in and the kulturklash is a howl. (sadly they had to add two RIPs since they shot the interviews -- like, 8 years ago?)

Opens for a week in NY, soon hits Minn, Seattle, Austin, SF etc:

a lot of the german tv show footage is on youtube (i'm assuming it's the same footage), it's excellent though and would be awesome to see on a big screen
