I just watched it. During the entire movie I kept thinking that Sam looked really familiar. When I looked it up I was pretty surprised to see that it was one of the Beastie Boys. There are several cameo appearances throughout, including John Cusack as a crazy guy traveling through Nevada as a “Dine & Dasher”.

This was an enjoyable little movie. Maybe a bit of a homage to Easy Rider. I thought the subplot with the girl in the personnel department was a nice comedic addition. The “prophets” that they met along their journey definitely made the movie.

Adam Horowitz was good, but John Doe, the bass player for seminal LA punk band X is the real story. Eh, maybe not, but he's as important to me musically as Adam probably is to a lot of hip hop fans. I saw Adam on an old epidoe of The Equalizer the other day. That was weird.
