Looks like lots of good movies came out today and one of them is a documentary on Creem magazine.
Music fans in the UK were lucky, whether you knew it or not, having the music weeklies. When I found out about Melody Maker, Sounds and NME, I was elated and even subscribed to Melody Maker after my first trip there.
I never liked Rolling Stone. It was too traditional and conforming. At that age, I didn't want to know about politics. Gimee the music, man. As you will see in the trailer, critic Ed Ward, describes Rolling Stone's "party line was that the next big thing was James Taylor." I wanted to find out what was new and exciting, not a review on Loggins and Messina's new album. Creem was a little before my time and the artists seemed a little weird to my listening tastes at the time, but I knew by reading it, I was being introduced to something new and to open my mind a bit.
