“Back To The Future” was, is and always will be one of my favorite movies, but that scene was just disrespectful to Chuck Berry. And Michael J. Fox looked so ridiculous lip-syncing and grimacing that the idea of anyone being inspired by him was just cringe-inducing.
Lighten up, dude...it was entertainment, not a documentary.
I thought it was funny, because it was so ridiculous?

Yep. I damn well cringed watching it in the movie theater all those years ago and the two or three times I’ve seen it since.
In 1955, when I was 13, I wrote a fan letter to John Johnson (the pianist) but unsurprisingly never got an answer.
