Danny Says

Very punk rock in its delivery.

Not the best documentary format wise but it’s very fitting for the subject matter of Danny Fields who talked about his run ins with great people.

Danny Fields’ life is not all that fantastic but he just seemed to get lucky enough that there were enough photos and documentation of him hanging out with some really famous people that someone could put together an hour and forty five minutes worth of his life into a featured doc, that includes an interview with Iggy Pop about his run in with Danny Fields.

It always helps that you have a pic of yourself with The Beatles so you can say you were right their when rock and roll started and that you have pictures of yourself with Andy Warhol so you can say you’re too cool for school.

Danny Fields worked as A&R for Electra while the Stooges were there and managed the Ramones at one point, so he’s not a nobody, but I do feel his life does not seem worthy of a documentary, but that’s what makes Danny Says so great, and so punk rock. It has an attitude about it that states that your life is good enough to produce a documentary and that’s what I like most about it.
