This looks fun. Looks like it also features some inspirational moments with Gene and Paul, too.

I really wanted to ask Bob Gruen when I met him if that character was based on him. But I chickened out.

Re: Rock n Roll Movies
To the degree that characters were drawn from life counterparts—save for the main characters—that seems as good an idea as any. But mostly it seemed like Cox just invented characters as needed.
