    Rockumentary Martyrdom:

    You don't need to be a dead rockstar to be martyred anymore! Rocketman (the film) is being released May 31, documenting Elton John's rise to fame. Bohemian Rhapsody (the film) came out last year, depicting Freddie Mercury's tribulations. This is It and Leaving Neverland offer some disturbingly different accounts of Michael Jackson's career. The Dirt (Motley Crue film) was torn to shreds for its authenticity shortly after its release. Compare and contrast rockumentary films and discuss what impact these glorified stories have on fans. Does it matter whether a rockstar is alive or dead when the film is made?

    • A legend in his own lunchtime! Nice idea for an article. Good luck to whomever picks it. You have my vote, emaglio. Approved. – Amyus 6 years ago

    • No, it does not matter if the musician is dead or alive and it is essential that we show successive generations the musical talent of artists who played instruments because music is something which is disappearing form the curricula of schools across the United States and unfortunately commercial successes are almost never musicians anymore. Rockumentaries are essential to introduce new generations to the alternative to rap, to show them how Freddy Mercury was so talented at piano and how a beautiful melody enhances well-written lyrics. I know this is not what you asked but I wanted to comment on the importance of these biopics in the revival of real music not synthesized detritus. All of the musicians you mentioned played at least one instrument and it is VITAL that we continue to educate successive generations about the beauty and artistry of music. – youngmollflanders 5 years ago

    This article categorizes representation into “compromising” acts by the author and “redeeming” acts by the author. It reads a bit like a pros and cons list at times.

    I worked in hospitality for my undergrad and have always thought about writing about how the tipping industry puts women in the position of putting up with anything the customer wants for money. Whether it’s harassment, sexualization, or assault, women are complicit in order to get the customer to tip them so that they can pay bills.

    This article was an interesting extension of how women put up with so much hell in the professional world to even access the opportunities which men control.
