Creem: America's Only Rock 'n' Roll Magazine (DVD), Greenwich, Documentary

Blasting out of late-'60s inner-city Detroit, the brainchild of record store/head shop owner Barry Kramer, Creem Magazine became the irreverent alternative to Rolling Stone and a rock fan's must-read over it's two-decade run. The publication's rise and fall and the defining contributions of Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs are chronicled here, with plenty of interviews from staffers, subjects, and famous fans, including Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Michael Stipe. AKA: "Boy Howdy: The Story of Creem Magazine." 75 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; additional interviews; theatrical trailers.
