3/5
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. Go to Full Review

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 12/13/2016
Frequently using animation and Fields' recorded phone messages to expand on filmmaker Brendan Toller's interviews with his subject, the result is quite illuminating. Go to Full Review

04/30/2017 Danny was in the right place at the right time a lot. See more 03/13/2017 Rock & pop culture lore out the butt. See more 03/09/2017 Fantastic doc on the great guru, Danny Fields. Taught, wry, brilliant & hilarious. Deep love for him and his amazing career See more 10/07/2016 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. See more 10/03/2016 Fantastic film. Takes you back to the day! Danny Fields had a magical effect on music and the people who made the music. A must see! Great music! See more 10/02/2016 saw it, was really engaged the whole time. Such an interesting trip thought punk rock history. See more Read all reviews
