Classic soundtrack, too.

[FranzFerdinand]

10. JGB rocked it no doubt but I got to hand that one to Jimmy

Sorry Jerry Bear!

[Old and In the Way]

12. "Live at the Keystone" with Merle Saunders.....

Definitely like that version best.

The movie, I last saw it about 30 years ago, was a fascinating, 'larger than life' semi-fictional auto-biography if I remember.

I just loved the final scene with Jimmy going down in a blaze of bullets and glory....into the title song.

4. Soundtrack album was great. A must-own.

Movie was greatly overrated. Looked like it was edited by chimps.

I'm just sayin'

5. Great film with an awesome soundtrack!
