Our Detroit band Benny and the Jets has found some success in France. The new Rolling Stones Fan movie "VERS L' OLYMPE" directed by Philippe Puicouyoul of the Pompidou Centre in Paris uses a Benny and the Jets song entitled "the Oldest Rolling Stones Fan." A song Benny wrote and recorded about Detroiter Bob Harris. Harris who recently wrote the book "Motor City Rock and Roll of the 60s and 70s" met the Stones in 1964. Benny and Bob have a small part in the movie and are currently looking for a venue for a local screening. IF you have a venue, want to see the trailer, hear the song, or contact Benny, go to www.
