Rock School

Net Flix: At Paul Green's Philadelphia music school for kids, the "three R's" are rhythm, rock and roll, as the energetic ex-rocker teaches kids the essentials of playing, singing and performing rock music. This documentary captures him working with his students, including a talented 12-year-old guitarist who just might be Hendrix's reincarnation. During the film, Green's top band is invited to perform at Zappanale, Germany's annual Zappa cover-band fest.

My Take: A great documentary, in many respects. After viewing this film, I declared "Every parent in the US should be required to watch this movie." Clearly, we as a product of being raised by our parents, are certainly subjected to their influence. In some cases that can be good, in other cases less positive. Why are these kids capable? Some have talent, some work hard, but most importantly in many cases, they've not been told "they can't" or "if it gets too hard, you can quit." Check out this flick and I suspect, you'll find, the evidence speaks for itself.
