Movies | Musicals | "Rock of Ages," Urban Planning, and the Culture Wars

Either way, it's lazy writing. Just forget the plot and enjoy the songs.

Movies | Musicals | "Rock of Ages," Urban Planning, and the Culture Wars: But you may not be aware of a major change in the plot: in the stage version (which I saw recently), the owners of the Bourbon Room rock club face off against greedy real estate developers who want to bulldoze the seedy Sunset Strip and replace it with “clean living.” As you can see in the trailer, these developers are replaced by a pack of Bible-thumping prudes who oppose the “sex, hateful music, and sex” of the Bourbon Lounge as epitomized by rock god Stacee Jaxx.
