I will say that Pennywise's Jim Lindberg really did seem to have his family's best interests at heart, which leads him to make a major decision regarding his involvement in the band.<br /><br />The two least impressive people in the film were NOFX's Fat Mike (who seemed to be parenting his daughter because he has to, not because he wants to) and Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge, trying to remain rebellious by shouting nonsensical profanities from the stage at age 45 while sporting a beer belly. News flash, Fletcher: Many music genres are a young person's business, but punk especially so.

Even given that I truly love documentaries, I don't really want to see this.<br /><br />I grew up in the same area as pennywise, and have seen them play live on the beach in Hermosa several times, not to mention that them and NoFx were practically our national anthems in High School.<br />I love those bands. I can't quite rock out to them as I did, but nonetheless I love em. <br /><br />But I just really don't want to see them pretending to be responsible fathers. I have serious doubts that they are good role models for any adolescents, particularly their own kids. It can be very easy for a film maker to portray a person in a certain light. of course I haven't seen the doc so I can't say how this one is. But these guys stand for violance and aggresion and living intoxicated. That is their brand, their product. <br /><br />Let's leave punk rockers to be punks. I don't want to know that they have families. I just want to know that when I turn on their tunes, It will make me feel like getting loaded or punching someone in the face. That's what they're good for, that's what they're best at....nothing else.Surfer Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955689284690083031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655251546665389067.post-89973391552078249072011-11-01T10:55:12.727-04:002011-11-01T10:55:12.727-04:00that sounds interesting.
