Music Movie Mondays

by

Asheville FM sponsors ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HIGH SCHOOL at The Grail Moviehouse on Monday, March 27th at 7 PM, AND discussion after with local author and music journalist Bill Kopp! The film is set in 1980 at a High School where the students love of rock ‘n’ roll more than books. The leader of the students is a big Ramones fan and she waits in line for three days to get tickets to see the band, hoping to meet Joey Ramone so she can give him a song she wrote, “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School”. When the Principal takes her ticket away, Riff and her best friend win tickets in a radio contest. After delivering her song to Joey Ramone, the Principal and parents attempt to burn a pile of rock records. In response, the students, joined by the Ramones, overthrow the teachers and take over the school. When the police are summoned, the students burn down the school as a final act of youthful rebellion. Watch the trailer here: Tickets
