Must See
This is a hilarious western musical with a mind blowing rock and roll soundtrack and the retelling of Siddhartha, which is Hesse’s retelling of the Buddha story of spiritual enlightenment, mixing American West gunfighter myth and rock and roll – two key archetypes/myths of our generation: ingenious premise, well-executed.
I was blown away by the cast, the dialogue, and the music. Don Johnson and John Rubenstein did an incredible job as wannabe gunslingers and comic moments from the likes of Country Joe are classic.
Musical performances by The James Gang, Elvin Bishop, The New York Rock n Roll Ensemble, and Doug Kershaw are killer. The rock version of the William Tell Overture is also a riot. Once you hear it, you’ll never listen to the classical version the same and the drum solo by Elvin Jones will kill you. This ride is a memorable one.
