no matter how tempting it might be.

I watched it (how could I not?). Somewhat bereft of originality and oh so predictable, but still entertaining.

Well, in a T/S, Paul Green would easily win....

i thought this would be utter shit but i kinda like it
theres still something a bit desperate about the whole thing, like 'we need to educate people on the greatness of rock again! rock is losing the war!' but its good viewing
all a bit corny too, getting kids to LEARN about rock posturing, wheres the authenticity.... you know, wheres the realness in these kids, i bet they dont wanna wear face paint for real
haha
erm, anyway, as you were

the kids are hilariously stereotypical posh Christian sheltered private school types though aren't they? I honestly thought people like that no longer existed.

Ah, you don't live in Orange County, I see.

Enjoyed it a lot, although the ginger kid was always going to be the singer.

A bit naughty of Gene to imply he wrote 'God Gave Rock and Roll To You' to kids that didn't know any better. (OK, he wrote the rearrangement, but still...)
