Songwriter starring Willie Nelson (basically playing himself) and Kris Kristofferson m/l playing Waylon is definitely worth your time. also features an excellent Rip Torn as a grizzled seedy promoter. solid B+

i remember watching Hard to Hold on like Betamax at a friend's house when i was about 7. his older sisters (prob in jr high) were out of control. (i think?) it briefly shows Rick's ass and i thought they were going to pass out.

Pete Townshend's White City: The Music Movie might qualify. He plays a musician named "Pete," and is referred to by another character as "yer famous friend." It's basically videos/performances of the White City songs interspersed with dramatic sequences, but it works fairly well. Only released in 1985 on VHS and Laserdisc, never reissued.
