Roadside Prophets Review

Get on a Harley and ride cross country, oh, actually, ride to Nevada to bury a guy you barely knew. John Doe plays Joe Mosley, a factory worker who tries to do something righteous for a fellow biker. He encounters all kinds of people from all different social statures, and he is a rebel, but a quiet rebel. Then comes along Adam Horovitz (Sam) and the journey becomes an adventure. Everyone should see this movie. Well...every lawyer and doctor and business person who doesn't have time for this movie, needs to slow down and watch this movie. The rest of us should have already seen it, if not, "GO NOW"! Plus, Flea is in the movie. I always turn new people on to this movie and play the game, "Find Flea in the movie".

Roadside Prophets Specifications

This loping, easygoing road movie throws together familiar ingredients--a pair of mismatched traveling buddies, a series of encounters with unusual strangers (the "prophets" of the title), and a personal quest to quench demons from the past--for a journey that doesn't strike out into new territory but provides an amiable trip for its wandering souls. Rocker John Doe (formerly of the punk band X) is a working stiff whose journey to deliver the ashes of a friend to their final resting place in Eldorado, Nevada, becomes something of a New Age odyssey. Joined by Sam (Beastie Boy Adam Horowitz), a lost youth obsessed with the ubiquitous Motel 9s that dot every truck stop and crossroads, the two wrangle their motorcycles down desert highways like Gen-X Easy Riders, only without the drugs, the rednecks, or the '60s soundtrack (the excellent score by Pray for Rain also includes songs by Doe, former X-mate Excene Cervenka, and the Pogues). Cameos by weathered 1960s icons Timothy Leary and Arlo Guthrie join David Carradine as a guitar-playing hermit and John Cusack as an insane, food-throwing anarchist. Director Abbe Wool (who wrote Sid and Nancy) is content to watch the world ramble by from the back of a motorcycle and enjoy the company--which makes entertaining viewing if you like the personalities and an interminable trip if you don't. --Sean Axmaker
