Ray was here in Edmonton for the premiere of the film where our Alberta Ghostbusters franchise was present for. The film is really good with a ton shown about his life, family and the famous people he’s worked with, things he got screwed over for and his LOVE of the GB song.
Our group was out front of the theatre attracting attention and building interest and he just walks up and starts fist bumping us and telling to turn the song up when someone would play it on their packs. No limo, no entourage, guy just walked up with a hat and T shirt. Man is sweet as pie. A great note in the GB book for the man who gave our anthem…and the unlikely way he did it.
Just watched it. If you’re expecting a 1 hour 24 minute documentary mostly based around the GB theme then be prepared to subvert your expectations. It’s a documentary mostly about Ray’s life, then he talks about the GB theme for maybe 10 minutes (maybe less?) an hour into the film, then goes back to his life. It was interesting and a fascinating look back in time.
