Grand Theft Parsons

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

Overview

There are times when it's right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times... Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a bitter, brilliant, genius who knew Elvis, tripped with the Stones and fatally overdosed on morphine and tequila in 1973. And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so extraordinary that if it didn't really happen, no one would believe it. Two men, a hearse, a dead rock star, five gallons of petrol, and a promise. And the most extraordinary chase of modern times.

I guess it was a random movie to fill the ether for the TV channel I was watching, but I’m so happy they introduced me to this. It’s a hilarious hippie road comedy that is a breath of fresh air in this genre.
