What The Heck Happened To The Music???

Just watched part of the movie on Netflix and was so disgusted I had to turn it off. What the heck have they done to the music in this film? All of those great, original songs like "Reservation Blues," "A Million Miles Away," "Road Buddy" and so on have been completely taken out of it, and replaced with generic crap.

The music is partly what made this movie. Taking those songs out is a complete butchery. If Netflix can't show it in its original form-with the soundtrack intact-then it shouldn't be shown at all.

Oh, wow. I just watched it for the first time, and I was puzzled when I saw those songs in the credits with lyrics by Sherman Alexie. I thought, Did I miss something?

How sad to know I didn't get the full experience.

Probably couldn't afford to pay the musical rights.
