The key to drawing David Fricke is in the cheekbones, and the crease they create above each side of his mouth. He looks like the grim reaper, or some type of skeleton, but there’s nothing scary about him. He has a very kind face and automatically smiles when he talks.
Fricke, senior editor at Rolling Stone, plays a one-man Greek chorus throughout the documentary I am trying to break your heart and below you will find all of his scenes collapsed into one youtube clip “David Fricke on Wilco.” Of course, this is a copyright violation, but I was glad someone did it because I was going to. Still feeling a thirst for piracy, I recorded the audio from the DVD’s director’s commentary. If you click on the link “Wilco on David Fricke” you will hear the band and director Sam Jones, commenting on David Fricke commenting on Wilco.

Matt rated I Am Trying to Break Your Heart 5 out of 5 Stars.
From Roger’s review of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (0 stars): “The movie created a spot of controversy in February 2005. According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times listed this year’s Best Picture nominees and wrote that they were ‘ignored, unloved, and turned down flat by most of the same studios that . . . bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic.’
