Summary: In the 1970s a band called Big Star came up out of Memphis, Tennessee. The group got rave reviews, but never achieved anything like musical success -- at least, not while they were all still alive. But by the time lead singer Alex Chilton died in 2010, Big Star had become part of the rock pantheon, hailed by groups like R.E.M. and The Replacements as the inventors of what would later come to be known as alternative or indie rock. A new film called Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me, looks at the band’s story -- and its continued influence. We hear from the film's co-director, Drew DeNicola, and Jody Stephens -- drummer for the band, and the sole surviving member of Big Star's original lineup. Find out where you can see the film - in theaters, on iTunes, and video on demand - here.
