![]() ![]() I went to a ton of Charlie's on Acid concerts, rode in the van, wore out their cassettes, and told all my friends about them. I wondered what that felt like for him, sitting there, seeing himself on that big screen if even for a flash. I was, and remain to this day, a fan of my friend. ![]() I wanted to stand up in the middle of the scene where they were featured (I very nearly did) and shout to the marginally packed audience, "Hey! That's these guys right here!" My brother and I went to see the film with the guys right after it opened, and it was surreal to sit that close to honest-to-goodness celebrities. When they show band posters in the film featuring Brandon as the lead singer, those are my friends Sean, Rusty, Eric, and Toby in the background trying to look suitably boss. Charlie's on Acid, you see, was the band chosen to play Brandon Lee's backup in The Crow. But what made Rusty a legend in my eyes (aside from the groupies) was his minor role in a feature film. Rusty was a lovely chap with the long hair and authentic facial hair you'd expect of a rock and roll artist, and he was quite beloved for being considerably less messy than my brother and I. ![]()
