Man, I went and saw the documentary about Ronnie Lane ("The Passing Show") and it was really good. It's very low-budget, which I guess is fitting. It's just a really sad but beautiful (but sad) story of another one of those guys who just couldn't fit in to the R&R life, but genuinely loved the music. Some great live footage. Pete Townshend comes off looking like less of a dick than he often does. Anyhoo, not much on the web about it (nothing on IMDB), but some info from the Ronnie Lane site (here), and a nice old Austin Chronicle article .

Man, I fr**king LOVE his voice. Of the Faces stuff that I've heard, I tend to like the songs he sings better than the songs that feature Rod.
