I loved Big Star. this is a new cut so I do not know what is in it. Jus hope it does not continue to CLOSET Big Star That said please read on : -------------- Big Star for some music geeks and thousands of boys and girls with guitars were the US BEATLES. Never as successful as individual member ALEX CHILTON they were their generations VELVET UNDERGROUND ...but there were secrets about the band never revealed until now CHRIS BELL was gay and had a relationship .is with Studio owner John Fry It caused band friction. Chris left the band and the owner became "born again", Bell finally was killed in a late night car crash. WAS CHRIS BELL THE VICTIM of HOMOPHOBIA in a swirl of southern christian fundamentalism ? Just one on the mysteries this excellent doc raises .. it plays to tonight sat at the docnyc fest (docnyc.net )be there ...the surviving members will be.. including John Fry.. trust me ..this is a doc you will want to see and hear
