Few radio disc jockeys can boast the career highlights that Los Angeles D.J. Rodney Bingenheimer can. One of the original jocks on KROQ-FM, "Rodney on the Roq" helped launch the careers of such household names as the Ramones, Coldplay, Van Halen and the Sex Pistols. His weekly radio show on the high-rated modern rock station continues to push the boundaries and confines of today’s radio programming. In 2003, Chris Carter (formerly of Dramarama) and filmmaker George Hickenlooper (Dogtown, The Man from Elysian Fields) created a documentary film revealing this local pop impresario’s life, exposing the (sometimes ugly) truth behind celebrity. The soundtrack, which highlights the honorary Mayor’s musical triumphs, also includes sound bites by a few of those artists whose careers he touched. Includes rare or previously unavailable tracks by Beach Boy Brian Wilson, X, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin!!
