One-Trick Pony (1980)

Directed by Robert M. Young
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Paul Simon basically plays himself in a film examining aging musicians, life on the road and selling out to top 40 radio. The music by Simon is good, but ironically the brief glimpse of a young B-52s had me wishing for more of them rather than Simon and band. The film as a whole is rather depressing, and Simon has a limited emotional range.
