  What's so strange about these senior citizens singing rock-and-roll? Chuck Berry is 80, Elvis would have been 73, etc.

  Not that it makes me feel better but rock-and-roll has been around quite a while now...man, can you dig it?

  The movie was one of the best I've seen in 2 years. No CGI!

  Fred's a capella few seconds on "Ghost Riders in the Sky" was so startlingly impressive, so deeply felt and simply sung that the stranger next to me burst out in wonder too, and we started a relationship that lasted all movie long.

  Yes, of course, Bob has to be a taskmaster. But I don't think he gets enough credit by how well he arranges and fits the music for the singers/musicians--no small talent.

  A shout out to my uncle Bob Salvini who was a longtime member of the group and sadly died before the film

  Great job guys

  What a remarkable and inspiring story! Rock and roll has been around for a while now, but it's still inspriring to know that it has the ability to transform people's lives.

  I've seen the documentary and I look forward to seeing them perform live at the Beacon Theatre this Sunday.

  it was nice to hear about my cousin Arnold Rosin, the fencing artist.

  He's the oldest of my many cousins and a Yale graduate.
