We want your rock stories!

There was a time when music was the most important thing in your life. Your car stereo blared Metallica. Your knuckles said "Ozzy". Your parents were convinced that Satan spoke to you through backward messages in Motley Crue songs. The walls of your bedroom were plastered with posters of Led Zeppelin and KISS. And when it all became too much...school, work, parents...within the walls of that room, it was music that drowned it all out. You didn't have much back then...but you had rock and roll.

There was a time when music saved your life.

We're looking for rock and roll fans to tell their stories in front of a camera as part of the upcoming "Bigger Than Jesus: The Motion Picture". If you live in Portland and would like to be considered, email your story and you may get chosen to participate. Be sure to include your name and telephone number.

Though you are welcome to share anything you feel is relevant, we're specifically looking for stories about the first time you ever heard rock and roll, the Satan craze of the mid-eighties, the great Metallica betrayal, grunge music and the death of eighties metal, rock and roll/heavy metal fashion, and your personal stories of anger, joy, and the times when music was your only hope. Just make sure you don't send any stories you wouldn't be willing to share on-camera!
