Sad ... no one else cares about 200 Motels, and at the time it was done it was one of the most progressive and original things ever done ... one of the first times video was done with film, for example. It also had more satire and stuff that is way out there, not to mention the musical variety is insane ... but we're all rockers ... do we care about the rest of the music?
Hey Mr. Rocker. I find 200 Motels mostly annoying and impossible to sit through as a whole. The "musically interesting" ideas presented there can be experienced in other, more interesting contexts elsewhere - without Flo & Eddie (and without rock). I've saw the movie a bunch of times during my student years though. Admittedly without paying close attention. It was just on all the time in our living room. It did create some good vibes.
