The world is conspiring to make me feel like it’s the ‘80s again.
I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized that my new hair cut looks like it did in my college ID back in the fall of 1985. In fact except that the color was real then, I wear glasses and weigh more than I did I pretty much look the same.
So does the new print of “X: The Unheard Music” which premiered at Sundance in 1986. Actually the print is much nicer than the one I remember seeing back in the day at probably the Utah Theater.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen this movie, despite its availability on DVD,
I’d forgotten how personable the man we’ve been calling the “anamatronic Billy Zoom,” because of his stage demeanor, is in this film.
“X: The Unheard Music” is as much a labor of love on the part of W.T. Morgan as it is the story of a band. He shows the roots of why these talented musicians have worked together with a continuing and growing fan base for 30 years.
John Doe, Billy Zoom, Exene and DJ Bonebreak looked pretty much the same at their sold out show in Salt Lake last August as they do in the movie. A few more lines in their faces, a little heavier, a little calmer - but aren’t we all?
