A little muddled but interesting tale of a musician who never really quite fits any of the labels you might want to put on him - the rock star whose only hit was a novelty song he wrote with his daughter, the freaky looking fellow who deeply studied his musicianship and was anti-drug, the apparent failure who ended up posthumously awarded a Grammy and a spot in the Rock N Roll hall of fame, and the way-out-freak whose final works were done with Symphony Orchestras and who became a cultural attaché for Czechoslovakia. This is basically an assembly of archival material with some side interviews and as a result I don't think it gets particularly close to the centre of a guy who probably wouldn't like to be in this kinda spotlight anyway, but it's intriguing.
