us that Rolling Stone has reported that influential KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer is the subject of a new documentary by George Hickenlooper titled "Mayor of the Sunset Strip". Rodney helped give major exposure to a string of genres from California 60s pop to glam, punk, goth, new wave and later alternative. He helped introduce the Sex Pistols and the Clash to America. The LA screening of the film was recently attended by members of Green Day, Rancid, No Doubt, Rob Zombie, and the Bangles. The Offspring and Brian Wilson apparently gave Bingenheimer a 2003 GTO at the event.
