"You're Gonna Miss Me" - a documentary about Roky Erickson

soooo this past week i saw a documentary about Roky Erickson entitled "You're Gonna Miss Me" directed by Kevin McAlester. Roky was the singer for the 13th Floor Elevators before he did too much mescaline and acid and went plain crazy. Supposedly, this band coined the phrased "psychadelic rock". I wouldn't doubt it. The filmmaker was not present at the screening but he did film the entire movie in Austin so he really didn't have an excuse for not being there. maybe he just wasn't invited. 

the film depicts the rise and fall of a very talented individual whose whole world revolves around music. He did so many psychadelics, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and it caused his band and family to fall apart. 

Anyways, the film is awesome and very moving and i recommend it to everyone.
