Why didn't Stone want Jeff to play with them? I need to see PJ20

Don't know exactly, again it is simply a sentence in PJ20, but they basically just took a break. Understandably i guess, due to old singer dying. But i think Jeff was deflated with music, and Stone wasn't. He was still writing and maybe Jeff had no interest??? Dunno. But yes you do need to see it, although i find myself watching it with certain people and the pause button comes into play because a sentence really needs to be a paragraph explanation....also there is a bad ass PJ20 hardcover book that really should accompany the movie....crazy thorough, exact dates, and a lot of direct quotes from movie are in there along with further explanation....hence the paragraph needed....that cutting room floor that Mr. Crowe had to deal with must have been overwhelming....again solid doc PJ20 is, BUT as a huge fan there are too many holes....the book fills a lot of this in but still....once again never satisfied is Kevin. Rambling again I am, but hell if you're gonna do the movie...cover it all.

| hell if you're gonna do the movie...cover it all.| I agree with that, for sure. It's not like a lot of people that aren't fans are gonna go see it anyway. Might as well delve deep.
