I didn't click through to the article but is it some sort of plea for
funding for the 'Do It Again' movie? I don't understand -- the movie
is all done, and in circulation, albeit in film festivals and
alternative cinemas, but that still counts.
It's well worth seeing. It is NOT a Kinks documentary ... far from it.
It's a story about someone changing his mind about something important
to him. Geoff Edgers takes a journey in the movie, and his destination
is respect for the point of view of one particular member of the
Kinks.
When I saw the movie, a couple of weeks ago here on Cape Cod, during
the Q&A Geoff mentioned his negotiations with Kate, Dave's girlfriend
and personal manager. Kate asked him: "Are you a Dave man or a Ray
man?" Geoff said he was both. But I think he lied to her. Geoff never
went to see Dave perform when he was touring solo. (Well, maybe he saw
him once.) This brands him, to my thinking, as a "Ray man."
But he changed his mind. See the movie and you will understand what I
mean.
If you're a "Dave man" (or woman) you will like this movie.
My own personal journey regarding this movie? ... I like Sting a lot
more than before I saw it. ;-)

dvd, so everyone can see it. I'm not gonna travel all the way across the
country to see it. BTW, I think a majority of fans are "Ray fans".
Personally, I'm a bit bored of seeing Ray traveling around the world
doing Kinks songs without the other Kinks. I'd rather stay at home and
watch my old tapes of the band playing together. But the majority of
fans feel that "Ray is the Kinks", so they're perfectly happy the way
things are now. I liked WMC and OPL, but they didn't sell, I suppose
that's why Ray doesn't play many of those songs in his shows now.

I actually disagree with this. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'm an
idealist, but I think the majority of fans (at least the fans I know,
and I know many Kinks fans) believe the Kinks are both Dave and Ray.
Why else would there be such a clamor for the Kinks to re-unite?
There is also a small minority who think Dave, Ray, Pete and Mick are
the Kinks (or ... were the Kinks); but most fans acknowledge later
lineups as counting as the Kinks.
