This has the potential to be interesting, as long as they manage to avoid including “woke” nonsense in it.

With the Redi-Whip type cans on the breakfast table, they’re obviously going for a Brian Wilson type vibe.

Unfortunately, I have known characters that resemble this one. The sad truth is that the venues that book aging “rock stars” are usually indian casinos to draw aging boomers to spend their money on slot machines, etc...

I wonder if the title was inspired by this song:

““an inspiring coming-of-age story set during the iconic 90s LA music scene,”

What? They haven’t done enough of those yet?

Get the barf bags ready.

Just saw him pitching garbage insurance 'search' firm...looked like an old goblin. Guessing the "Frasier" reboot imploded.

I wonder if we get to hear this brilliant music? Usually the aged rock star is in a holding pattern cranking out what he has always cranked out... or worse, the pen has run dry.

The people that want to hear this “new” music will probably be disappointed. But maybe the focus is the human interplay between the two people.

He looks like the love child of Neil Young and Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski...

I recently saw Pacino's Danny Collins from 2015, also about a washed up rocker who had lived hard. Per the story, in his early years of stardom, John Lennon had sent him a letter in the hopes of guiding him through the perils of rock stardom, and the letter had never been delivered. Years later the letter is discovered by a collector and Pacino gets his hands on it, prompting him to relook the mistakes he had made in his personal life.

It was, IMHO, quite well done.

an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality as his record label looks to drop him and his new ‘unique’ albums.

Brian Wilson?

I've seen a number of way old rock stars in recent years. Some have aged well, some not so much. Justin Heyward from the Moody Blues still puts on a nice show. I used to see him in arenas, now it's little clubs in NYC. John Fogarty still plays his ass off. Daltry and Townsend are a bit creaky, but worth the ticket just for the catalogue they tap into.

Gary Brooker from Procol Harem is a vocal miracle. He's been singing the same song for 55 years or so, and he still hits all the notes, with a more rugged timber to his voice.

Kelsey has something he wants to say.

He understands that art comes after science.
