HIRED GUN (2016). Really interesting doc on musicians who are hired to appear on albums and tours, usually without much recognition or job security. Could almost be a companion piece to THE WRECKING CREW, 20 FEET FROM STARDOM and STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN (all which I heartily recommend). Pink and Alice Cooper get the highest marks as far as working conditions, but Billy Joel fans should give this a pass as he comes off as a major tool. ****
