Rock & Rule

"One voice, one heart, one song, there is no ONE."


Greetings, fellow Rock and Rule fans

I want to take this opportunity to thank Jeff for hosting and to everyone who contributed questions concerning the film, and to assure you that I will do my best to have answers for them, when the book finally gets published.



I ask for your patience with regards to an actual shelf date for this book, because it may not appear for another year, or so. The reason for this is that I’m trying to research as thoroughly as possible everything there is to know about this film - from the production that lingered long and hard, to Rock and Rule’s commercial failure, to the whereabouts and projects of the production crew, today – all the while maintaining a steady daytime job.



There will be so many anecdotes, so much trivia and so much artwork (deleted and used), I promise you will not be disappointed.
It is a helluva story.

Thank you for your patience. I’ll keep this fine site informed as soon as I have updates to pass along.

Best wishes,

PJ
