One-Trick Pony (1980)
A Paul Simon vanity film.

I remember seeing part of this movie once on T.V. a long time ago. As near as I can recall, Paul Simon played an aging former rock star who is best known for an album called Parachutes that he released in 1968. Twelve years later, Simon's character is mostly a nostalgia act reduced to opening for New Wave bands like the B-52's (who appear as themselves). The singer's main concern is trying to save his marriage even as he tries to re-start his career. One of the movie's scenes took place at an awards show (I think) where Simon's character performed along with other creaky old-timers like Sam and Dave (of "Soul Man" fame).
