great intro to 'be here to love me.' i dont think theres any romanticism in living fast and dying young, its just sad, but there are a lot of great musicians that did, and i think its important that their lives avoid cliche (even tho their deaths fed into it..)

ive actually seen that one and was kind of disappointed. i love roky and all the music hes produced but was just underwhelmed..it just felt hollow in some way. the director referencing goodfellas in his editing was really annoying...

 

bad doc with good parts imho

rokys voice has the ability to reduce me to tears. a song like 'dust' is just too perfect for words...

 

Yeah, I listened to Dust over and over after a friend of mine died recently.
