Description
Capturing the messy upheaval of the '70s just as rock was re-inventing itself, the film explores CREEM Magazine's humble beginnings in post-riot Detroit, follows its upward trajectory from underground paper to national powerhouse, then bears witness to its imminent demise following the tragic and untimely deaths of its visionary publisher, Barry Kramer, and its most famous alum and genius clown prince, Lester Bangs, a year later. Fifty years after publishing its first issue, "America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine" remains a seditious spirit in music and culture.

Even as a kid I found Creem to be dreadfully boring. Circus was where it was at. Even that mag had some burps in the late 70's/early 80s.

I saw this movie streamed on Amazon Prime a few months ago, pretty good.

This came in the mail today, the 50th anniversary edition of Creem magazine. Wow!

Very nice, John! I was tempted to order it as well. You'll have to share your thoughts once you've had a chance to read some of it. Creem was my favorite in the late 70s-early 80s.

edit: Well, you don't have to share your thoughts. Obviously I can't make you do that! But if you could please do so, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
