You're Gonna Miss Me I haven't seen this posted, but I may have missed it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0791268/ Documentary about Roky Erickson, lead singer of The 13th Floor Elevators, a group some consider pioneers of psychedelic rock. Just a terribly sad doc. Basically he went from being a rock star in the '60s to the equivalent of a child today. He did too much LSD, had shock therapy, and was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Unfortunately, his mother was the one who cared for him and she closed him off from any help he needed. It is on Netflix streaming. Like I said, just a really sad documentary. It actually has some parallels to Brian Wilson, in that they were both rock stars in the 60s (Brian Wilson more than Erickson) who just went completely bonkers. However, whereas Brian Wilson sort of made a recovery, Erickson is pretty pleased when his mom gives him a Mr. Potato Head doll.
