  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • From the ahead of its time British film, Privilege gives us Steven Shorter (played by Paul Jones who was the lead singer of Manfred Mann) who is manipulated by the church and state and turned into a messiah type leader. His popularity is higher than anyone else we can think of shown on film, and his fans are more fanatical than anything else we have ever seen. Of course this was a ploy to turn him into a Christian puppet and in this faux documentary Shorter breaks down as one would expect. You may not know this film, but it’s worth a look.
