	DIG Internet Radio - Rodney Bingenheimer - DJ To The Stars
		As Bingenheimer takes a tour around his humble suburban house - the most notable part of which is the lounge room with his souvenirs - he points to the photos of him taken with celebrities, invitations to stars' parties, letters from JFK and Brigitte Bardot and even Elvis Presley's driving licence.
		Bingenheimer's reputation is based on the fact that he was the first notable DJ to play records by and interview people such as Blondie, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Cramps, The Clash, The Cure, The Smiths, Teenage Fan Club, Sonic Youth (he even recorded a single with Thuurston Moore) and many others.
		Bingenheimer's gift - and this is true of all the legendary DJ's both here and overseas - was his ability to find and promote not just new music but new music that was cutting edge and that would also often signal some sort of change in the whole scene (and occasionally even society itself).

		In the 70's Rodney made his name as a national columnist for "Go" and "Phonograph Record" magazines; and he also operated and co-owned his club, "Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco", an L.A. club where Bowie, Iggy Pop, T.Rex, Suzi Quatro, Led Zeppelin, and the Sweet where all regulars.

		Following Rodney's refusal to oblige a publisher's request to dish the dirt on his celebrity friends, the book idea was abandoned in favour of the documentary.
		The vision of Rodney sipping matzo ball soup with a Nazi-attired Keith Moon is as unlikely as it is indelible.
		Bingenheimer, the only child of a marriage that ended when he was three, would hole up in his room mesmerized by the glamour and joy promised by the sleeves of the Cameo-Parkway label and artists such as Bobby Rydell and Dee Dee Sharpe.

		Rodney Bingenheimer is doing what he does best: reeling off a list of noteworthy names.
		Bingenheimer has a Zelig-like ability to position himself at the elbow of the famous (rich, in itself, doesn't interest him), a diminutive figure with a mop of dark hair, a chalky complexion and eyes that seem to light up with genuine affection when alongside the well-known.
		Bingenheimer's main problem with the movie, over which he had no right of veto, is that it portrays his home as an overcrowded hoarder's haven.

		Bingenheimer seems hesitant to put any but the most positive spin on his troubled family relationships and his ephemeral friendships with stars and those who want to get close to them.
		The ongoing photograph montages of Rodney posing with an A-Z roster of every major seminal rock figure in the genre's history began to remind me of Woody Allen's Alfred Zelig, a nondescript milquetoast who could morph his appearance to match whomever he was with at the time.
		Rodney himself remains a cypher; in one scene he fidgets nervously and begs the director to turn off the camera when the questions get too "close".

	His claim to fame is his passion for it - The Boston Globe
		Bingenheimer -- the subject of a new documentary called "Mayor of the Sunset Strip," which opened Friday -- is a longtime disc jockey at KROQ-FM, where his uncanny feel for cool music has made him one of the country's most influential DJs.
		Bingenheimer got the Sex Pistols, but he also gets Coldplay; he was the first commercial radio host in the United States to spin discs by both.
		In a town enchanted with artifice and a culture obsessed with celebrity, Bingenheimer's simple, powerful urge to be close to the stars is the driving force of his life story, and the overarching theme Hickenlooper explicates with gentle brutality.

		He's the mayor of the Sunset Strip, sort of, and now that the Rodney Bingenheimer documentary, Mayor of the Sunset Strip, is out on DVD, you, too, can be in the know.
		Bingenheimer's story speaks of the true and slippery nature of fame, as well as the shifting forces that determine what music lovers hear and what we don't.
		In the early '70s, Rodney ran a tiny club on the Strip called Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, and during the peak of the glam years, all kinds of drugs and sexual debauchery raged there as parades or rock stars traversed the itty-bitty dance floor to reach the even itty-bittier VIP booth.

		Rodney seems too nice to be contrarian, so at times he seems to roll with the director's leading tones, or else stays silent.
		Everybody who was anybody knew and adored Rodney, and, after he landed a gig as DJ at L.A.'s KROQ in the 1970`s, he gave many struggling alternative artists their first real toehold on the radio, playing their records at a time when no other disc jockeys would touch them.
		Rodney's life becomes the forum for reliving all those exciting moments in which this parade of beautiful and talented people came to define the culture and eras of which they were a part.

	Mayor of the Sunset Strip Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Also on hand as Bingenheimer's witnesses are childhood friends, his remote father and stepmother, and his famous friends, including Bowie, Cher, Brooke Shields, Alice Cooper, Ray Manzarek, and Doors biographer Danny Sugarman.
		Bingenheimer emerges as a solitary, even lonely figure, and one who has never gotten financially enriched the way the bands he helped make famous have.
		Yet while he basks in the spotlight as "Rodney on the ROQ," the portrait that emerges of Bingenheimer is of a man forever alone in the crowd, whether he's hanging out backstage or paying an awkward visit to his elderly father and his second family.

		It also examines the unending allure of fame and Bingenheimer's perpetual friend-of-the-stars status (he's aptly described as "the Zelig of rock 'n' roll"), as well as probing his often lonely personal life and cringe-inducing relationship with his distant father and other emotionally remote family members.
		The singer-turned-actress notes that she never had to worry about Bingenheimer exploiting their friendship for personal gain, a frequent occurrence in a city where the mere proximity to fame has fueled many threadbare careers.
		This doesn't mean Bingenheimer doesn't enjoy his proximity, or the sense of belonging it gives him, just that he hasn't taken advantage of it.

		Rodney began his career as a professional hanger-on when he got hired to play Davy Jones' double in "The Monkees"—although aside from the height and hair, he really doesn't resemble Davy Jones at all.
		And when Michael Des Barres speaks of Rodney's success with women, he declares that the guy had a "posse of p***." This fact is remembered fondly by the beyond middle-aged Rodney** in the film…I found that scene particularly hilarious.
		In the 80s, Rodney was able to establish himself as a DJ who brought the latest and greatest music to Southern California.

		Rodney Bingenheimer is one of those names that, almost purely by its syllabic overload, seems properly suited to a larger-than-life character.
		The irony of it all, though, is that Bingenheimer himself is relatively pint-sized with a humble, soft voice one would rarely equate with a legendary radio god.
		Rodney Bingenheimer: It all started, I guess, with [producer] Chris Carter from Dramarama, a band I first played on my show that became very big from that.

		C`e` un personaggio texano che appare a meta` film, un tipo che si trasferisce a LA in cerca di fortuna, non dico altro, mia moglie era in lacrime, e io avevo un bruscolino nell`occhio, sono momenti di una tristezza devastante.

		Amid that scene, Bingenheimer began befriending stars like Nancy Sinatra, Phil Spector and Sonny and Cher, the last of whom he became so close to that the couple came to think of Bingenheimer like a son.
		Later, Bingenheimer became a DJ for legendary Los Angeles radio station KROQ (he remains there today, although relegated to the wee hours), where he was the first to play a stunning array of bands from '70s punk acts to, more recently, Oasis and No Doubt.
		Indeed, that selflessness has a price, as we see Bingenheimer return home from his glamorous life by proxy to a lonely, sad existence defined largely by the mementos on his wall--although admittedly having Elvis' driver's license is pretty cool.

		Pushing 60, Rodney’s life is a mess - he lives in a dingy apartment, laced with memorabilia from celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Cher, and many others, yet his life is pitiable.
		One senses this moment, which Rodney didn’t want filmed, is perhaps the last gasp of humanity in a man reduced to a dull human patina, lacking the wit of an Andy Warhol to post-modernize his vapidity.
		Rodney’s lone uniquity seems to be that his cipher makes him a fawning funhouse mirror to insecure celebrities- whose gravitation towards him is perfectly understandable.

		Bingenheimer himself is an anomaly; an uber fan and passionate lover of music who seems content to share his enthusiasm with whomever will listen rather than get wrapped up in the backstabbing, two-faced dealings that often accentuate a life in entertainment.
		This is supposed to be a person with whom Rodney has had a lifelong relationship with and she can't remember a pivotal moment that she was a part of.
		Eventually she is asked how she feels towards Rodney and she blankly states that they are just friends, she needs to focus on her music career, and that she has a boyfriend.
