This movie seems to just be arriving in the colonies. I liked it. But I predict a lot of people infatuated -- and rightly so -- with Jacob Young's early 90s West Virginia public TV cult sensation documentary "Dancing Outlaw" may not. Here's why. As someone who can get in his truck (yes, truck) and drive north (yes, I live farther south than Jesco)four hours and be at Jesco's doorstep (OK, put the gun down, hoss)I know there will be gripes about the Southern accents. Didn't bother me. There will be bitchin' and moanin' about the fictionalizationment (I just made that up) of some scenes. Again, didn't bother me. It's an interpretation of the doc, in my opinion. The inclusion of another Boone County legend, Hasil Adkins and his original, maniacal tunes, on the soundtrack is a huge plus. Jesco's real. Some of this was not. Just like the Young's documentary. In the end, it's a colorful story well told.
