"It Might Get Loud"

If you're one of those people for whom music is in your top four basic needs, galloping hard on the heels of food, shelter, and clothing, then you need to see this movie.

If you're one of those people who has memorized every note of your old albums, to the point where you mentally add the end-of-side scratching when you listen to the cd's, then you need to see this movie.

If listening to late-60's blues-based rock and roll makes your entire body break into one giant goosebump and you headbang and air drum whenever you hear your favorite song of the genre, then you MUST see this movie.

Short description: Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page meet and talk about guitars.

If you're a person who has to do a wikipedia search to find out who Jimmy Page is, then this is not the movie for you. And you can't be my friend.

Go. It was the best movie I've seen in a couple of years. I know it's only out in limited release right now (NY/LA) but if it goes wide, GO!

After seeing this, I kind of think that maybe, juuuust maybe, that whole "Jimmy made a deal with the devil" thing just might be true. The man is still a rock god, he looks hot, and he still does that guitar-genius face.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. I'm going again on Friday.

Coverdale Page is one of my favorite 90s albums. OK, CDs, I'm old fashioned.
