Two questions.

First of all, I did not care for this movie, and the it took me about 24 hours to get through all of it, so I may have missed some important whatever to answer the two questions I'm about to ask.

1. CZJs character was against Rock 'N' Roll during the entire movie, then in the end she is herself on a Rock concert. What's that all about?
Sure her past, bla bla bla. But how did she go from kneelenght skirts and plaid and Jesus and whatever outside the Boubon room to leather and chains screaming her head of??? Something really seemed to be missing there. Anyone got a clue?

2. Stacee Jaxx going solo. This was mentioned all through the movie, then in the end he is on stage with his band. When and how did he change his mind??

CZJ's character's true nature was being a Stacie Jaxx groupie. She was "against" him out of jealousy because he dropped her and because she was the Mayor's wife. Her attending the concert was just showing that she still liked Stacie Jaxx and his music but was she was still trying to be in disguise so people didn't actually recognize her. Hope that makes sense.

As for Stacie going solo, they didn't say why he didn't go solo. But I just took it that since he found love with Constance he was all around happier and just decided he wanted to stay with the band. But that's just how I interpreted it.

Agree, CZJ explanation was spot on!

As for Stacee's solo career, to add to what you said, I always saw it as Paul wanting him to "move on from the band" and go solo. A solo career would give Paul a bigger cut of the profits $$. Stacee really didn't have a say/care about which path his music career went in as long as he didn't need to make real decisions about anything. But once Constance put up a mirror to him, "woke him up" and showed him that Paul was leading him down the wrong path, he decided to settle down all the "rock-n-roll antics" and appreciate/stay with the band that got him where he is today and be loyal to them and their support. His success is their success and true "brothers" of rock-n-roll would hold true to that philosophy.

Just my opinion.

MizzNijna,
When it came to "Patty" and "Stacee", she had been there, had that, and wanted more!
