Nice article about Eddie in today's Birmingham News:

If you happen to be in the 'Shoals area tonight - the film will be shown at 7:00 at Florence's Shoals Theater. I'm tempted to jump in my car right now and head that way but I've got some other serious fish that need fryin'.
I've been trying to run down a copy (DVD/VHS - streaming?) since 2007 to no avail. Not like Superman or Jurassic Park, where you can go down to the local Bijou and buy a ticket. If you want to see it you'll have to find it. Somehow. I had some communication going with one of the producers a while back. Seems like they were sitting on the film because Eddie's mother wasn't entirely thrilled with it. Described as a prequel to the Muscle Shoals doc' a few years ago (WHY wasn't Eddie more prominent in that one? Why was Bono all over it????). Not gonna win an Oscar or anything but I'd love to see it.
