Stitched together from extensive interviews with Fields and his surviving friends, including Iggy Pop, Tommy Ramone and record exec Seymour Stein, this is a delightful slice of pop history.

Austin Chronicle

Frequently using animation and Fields' recorded phone messages to expand on filmmaker Brendan Toller's interviews with his subject, the result is quite illuminating.

One Room With A View

Quirky animations mix beautifully with archive footage and interview, but although entertaining there isn't too much here that's particularly new or compelling.

Rated: 3/5

While Fields makes for an engaging storyteller throughout, his tales are pretty standard music industry jerk-off material: heavy on name-dropping and portent, vague on details and context.

Hugely entertaining history that oddly picks up where the recent beetles documentary leaves off. Danny seems to be in the middle of devilment in punk rock from the the doors, mc5, iggy pop, velvets, Bowie , the Ramones and more. Not the most balanced account but fascinating and a must see for a fan of late 60s to early 70s underground.
