They just reference Jones' brilliance and say he left because of Drozd's heroin addiction. ANd they just say Donahue left because of power issues and focused on his onvolvement in Mercury Rev. I really wanted to know more about these two wonderfully talented band members because I feel that they really helped define the Flaming Lips' sound and propelled them to levels that I doubt the band could have arrived at without their involvement. Anyone else agree?

I haven't seen it but would agree wholeheartedly with that point!! I read some info on the Flips message board about the movie and I think Ronald didn't want to be on it...still reclusing...
