A Danny Fields documentary? Yes, please!

The best special feature in the bootleg DVD of MC5: A True Testimonial is Danny Fields, telling the story of the time the Five played at the Fillmore East in NYC and ran afoul of a group of Lower East Side radicals that called themselves the Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers.

Now, filmmaker Brendan Toller (I Need That Record!) is at work on a documentary about Fields. Here's the rundown from the Village Voice.
