This was on channel four T.V. very soon after it's release (maybe it's a "FilmFour" movie?)
I watched it two or three times,finding it engrossing.Funny and sad in equal measure...
Two extremes of the "biz" are charted in tandem here,with the '"Warhols" going from strength to strength,with their masterful blend of punk/glam and "slackerpop",not averse to the odd smoke or two,but ultimately,very business savvy and in control of their careers...
"Then there is the trainwreck that is "The BrianJonestown Massacre" led by the force of nature that is Anton.
Anton Newcombe,and his band , at times sound absolutely sublime,seminal,all those things.
Then they could just as easily start fighting on stage after a fit of jealousy.
An obvious lesson is being played out here,simply that ,it's not always the "best" bands that really "make it"...
The "Warhol's" breakthrough hit,"Not if You Were The Last Junkie On Earth", comes as an undoubted homage from Courteney to Anton ,and also defines their divergent careers...
We see Anton's instinctive talent getting blown away by self -indulgence,self-doubt and self-destruction,but would he have wanted it any other way? Run a search,if he is still alive,he's bound to have some new material out..
Then let's look at the "Warhol's" back catalogue, and speculate as to how many of those songs were inspired by the glorious Anton!
