Helped greatly by thoughtful remarks and hilarious stories from Penn Gillette, Moe Tucker, and Gerard Cosloy. The participation of Jad Fair himself, however, is minimal, and raises more questions than it answers (most importantly, what exactly is wrong with Jad Fair?). The only bad parts of the film are a few boneheaded comments from Byron Coley -- exactly the kind of pompous, pretentious, narcissistic, smug hipster that gives hipsters a bad name.
