“Hit So Hard” is out of the hole in a rockumentary

Hit So Hard follows the rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band, Hole. But just three years later, the drug-related deaths of several musicians, capped by the suicide of Kurt Cobain, closed the books on an all too brief era. In a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole’s infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen… until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.
Although this movie reflects all drummer’s career and struggles with addiction and how many people might be tempted into seeing the film for: namely, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. Much of Schemel’s early time with the group is focused more on Cobain than on her, and while it absolutely provides an intriguing look at an icon of music, it feels like something that would have better belonged in it’s own film, perhaps as a companion to this one. Like a minor rockumentary is very well constructed especially when Patty Schemel, the acclaimed drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band Hole, reflecting her own world of sunshine, this is highly recommend for those who enjoy drummers and women musicians, now is available in some American movie theaters since April 20th.
British Singer Robin Gibb is in a Coma
A tragedy for the Gibb family striked when Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, 62, was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. Now, he is in a coma and has pneumonia. Gibb had bowel surgery in 2010, his rep stated. His brother Maurice died in 2003 of a twisted bowel; his brother Andy died of a heart infection. The Brothers Gibb — calling themselves the Bee Gees — soared to renown as one of the most successful British groups after the 1977 film “Saturday Night Fever” starring John Travolta was built around the group’s disco songs. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, the Bee Gees have sold more than 200 million albums, and their soundtrack album to “Saturday Night Fever” was the top-selling album until Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” claimed that distinction in the 1980s.

Dee Snider, heavy metal singer turned radio host and actor, was the winning Project Manager last night on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice and donated $325,000 from fundraising efforts to the March of Dimes.
As a celebrity contestant, Dee used his fame, personal connections and business acumen to raise money and win the task. He endured long hours, grueling deadlines, intellectual challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny under the careful watch of Donald Trump and his advisors. However, the challenges were faced head-on in expectation of a greater goal — raising money and awareness for his charity of choice, March of Dimes Bikers for Babies.
