		One of the most famous cases is that of Gram Parsons.
		Only 26 years old at the time, Gram had made a pact with his road manager Phil Kaufman (played here by JACKASS star Johnny Knoxville) to burn his corpse in the desert if he succumbed to the early death that so many of his talented predecessors had succumbed to.
		The absorbing tale of Kaufman's unusual race to complete his deed form the basis for GRAND THEFT PARSONS, with director David Caffrey using many of the original locations in which the act took place.

	Grand Theft Parsons (2004): Reviews
		Inspired by the true story that marked the end of the life of cult musician Gram Parson, this film examines the kind of friendship that saw one man break the law, jeopardise his freedom and race hundreds of miles, to see to it that in death his friend's wishes were honoured.
		Gram Parsons' last rites were among the most extraordinary in rock history.
		Parsons himself might have written a surreal, funny-sad ballad about the aftermath of his own death, but Grand Theft Parsons is little more than a surreal anecdote, told in too much detail and without enough soul or imagination to make anything more than a footnote to a legend.

		The film begins with the drug-overdose death of Parsons, a rising talent known for his work with such seminal groups as the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
		Parsons' road manager, Phil Kaufman (Knoxville), immediately realizes that he has to fulfill his obligation to his best friend by stealing his corpse and cremating it in the Joshua Tree desert, per his wishes.
		The pair wind up being pursued by both the cops and Parsons' grieving, estranged father (Robert Forster), as well as by an ex-girlfriend (Christina Applegate) desperate to retrieve the singer's body so she can claim his assets via a "will" of dubious legality.

	Grand Theft Parsons
		Kaufman agreed that if Parsons should die before he did, he would take his body and cremate it under the shadow of the Joshua Tree.
		Luckily Caffrey and Drysdale have found the right line with Grand Theft Parsons, managing to extract humour out of the film but not turn it into some sort of fl comedy farce.
		Grand Theft Parsons will be released by Redbus Film Distribution on March 19 2004.

		Following the death of the cult musician Gram Parsons, famed for his rock 'n' roll antics and duets with Emmylou Harris, road manager Phil Kaufman steals the dead body with the intent of fulfilling Gram's instructions for it's disposal.
		Well, no. 'Grand Theft Parsons' is a touching, funny, heartfelt movie about honour, decency and responsibility, and it got a ten minute standing ovation at the London Film Festival when I saw it.
		Even though this is a rather bastardized telling of Phil Kaufman making good on his promise to Gram Parsons to burn his body in the desert, I think that the spirit of the occassion is quite obvious, as is the friendship that the two of them shared.

	Grand Theft Parsons
		In the very first scene of the movie, Gram Parsons dies, from then on his road manager/right-hand man/best friend spends the rest of the film trying to fulfill a blood-brothers promise.
		Still, with the feel of a project that was put together with more fun and passion than money and time, "Grand Theft" goes a good distance.
		The film is shot at authentic locations -- including the motel room in which Parsons died.

	Grand Theft Parsons London Movie Review
		The superbly-titled Grand Theft Parsons is based on a bizarre true story, about the funeral pact between cult country music star Gram Parsons and his friend and road manager Phil Kaufman.
		Directed by Irish director David Caffrey (Divorcing Jack) from a screenplay by English writer Jeremy Drysdale, the film was shot on a shoe-string budget in just 24 days, after eleventh hour funding from Wall Street traders who responded to the theme of the movie in the wake of September 11th.
		In short, Grand Theft Parsons is an unexpectedly lovely little film that is quite possibly destined for Future Cult Movie status.

		Having Gram Parson's father as a character added a lot of weight to the last half hour of the film, with Robert Forester conveying all the resignation, sadness, and guilt felt by his character his downtrodden facial expressions.
		For what it's worth, I once had the good fortune to see the Parsons/ Hillman Burritos deliver a scorchingly hot unforgettable set at a private Hollywood party shortly after their first album.
		Yet that trip is the focus of this film, filled with mostly bogus events in an imaginary story that slides from silly to goofy.

	Moviehole.net - Grand Theft Parsons
		Based on the true story of the events following the death of country rock innovator Gram Parsons, this quirky film features Johnny "Jackass" Knoxville in his first dramatic leading role as Phil Kaufman.
		For those unfamiliar with the history, Kaufman is the road manager who stole Gram’s body in a yellow hippie hearse named Bernice, so that he could set the dead man's spirit free in Joshua Tree National Park.
		Despite an unexpectedly uplifting ending, "Grand Theft Parsons" is a movie that should have been great, could have been a classic, but ended up merely entertaining.

		Bound to be huge at the Grand Ole Opry, they paint with a limited palette but they are masters of their chosen style.
		Listening to this live performance from Michael De Jong is a brutally compelling yet ultimately draining experience.
		Despite what you may have heard, Starsailor’s “Hot Burrito #2” from the band’s own Spector sessions works surprisingly well without feeling contrived, as does Wilco’s “One Hundred Years for Now” harking back to a time the band were less esoteric and more immediate.
