Ok, so there’s this movie ‘Jersey Boys’, about a pretty good pop group from the 60’s.
Why?
I mean, it must be for the uniqueness. Only about 10,000 other groups have ever made it to the big stage after people didn’t think they would.
And they weren’t even all THAT popular. I mean…The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zep…I could understand all of those. But The Four Seasons??? Wow…talk about lowering the bar.
My favorite part of the gripping ad for it is Chris Walken telling the singer “wait til people hear your voice”…or something similar. They’re not important enough to verify the quote.
I’d rather have him with sunglasses on telling them they had, what seems to him to be, a DYNAMITE sound. Cuz coming from him, that would mean a lot.
In 30-40 years, will we see Chris (if he’s still alive) riding in a limo with an actor playing Peter Steele? “I tell ya, Peter – you’re gonna wanna keep that VAMPIRE voice, in the songs…”
So relatively inconsequential to contemporaries it’s laughable; my example, and this movie.
And don’t give me the “hugely popular” and “one of the highest-selling…” cr@p reasons. They weren’t as popular, nor did they sell as many records, as ABBA. And I don’t think we need a movie about A B B and A. Please…don’t.
