It's safe to say that after 30 years, any statute of limitations on parodying monumental events in rock history has expired. Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz was released to the public in 1978. The documentary was a record of The Band's (original lineup) farewell concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. The Can-Am rockers were joined on...
