Eddie And The Cruisers
In the reality that this movie sets-
there ARE no Beatles; we're not supposed to wonder
what Eddie Wilson thought about them- they don't
exist in this movie... like why doesn't Stallone ever
mention Muhammad Ali in the Rocky films?
Because- this is fiction!
Eddie & The Cruisers weren't a real band.
And the 60's and 70's aren't important.
The sequel skipped OVER thos years-
and it's obvious by the way Eddie dresses and acts
that he didn't become a hippie...or care about Vietnam.
What's it matter, anyway?
The History Of Rock that we know....
is not the same history of rock that's
shown here in this movie.
Another thing......
Part two takes place the same year as part one.
In the end of part one- Frank gave Doc the "lost tapes"
so that he can sell them to the media....
and this movie takes place only a few weeks after that.
The movie just does a crappy job at explaining it all.
