Yes it is great rock and roll movie. Fun to watch and very entertaining. Angry parents, rebellious teens, stupid mainstream music industry people. Gary Busey is wonderful and fully deserved the Oscar nomination.That said, 90% of the movie is HOGWASH! About the only thing they got right was that there was a Buddy Holly who had a band called the Crickets from Lubbock Texas. The WORST is the "dark meat" comment to peg Jerry Allison as a racist. And the fact that Gary Busey got much of his information from Jerry makes the scene in the movie that much more shameful. Showing Lubbock Texas as a rock and roll hating town and his parents not supporting him is just plain stupid. In fact they bought his Stratocaster for him. The errors go on and on. Enjoy it with a grain of salt.
