Dewey Cox Rocks the Roxy

The event: A performance by Dewey Cox to tub-thump his musical-comedy biopic “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”

The details: Monday night at The Roxy in West Hollywood

The guest list: pic’s producer-scribe Judd Apatow, pic’s helmer-scribe Jake Kasdan, Gina Gershon and Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly).

The talk: In his dressing room before the show, Reilly reflected on what we can all learn from the foibles of his tortured rock star alter-ego, Dewey Cox. “It’s funny what the rock star life does to you. At some point it will make you a narcissist and you’ll try to medicate your pain in unusual ways and woman often get worked up around rock stars. With that comes trouble,” explained Reilly, “even through his darkest days and worst decisions, Dewey really thinks he’s doing right.”  And on that note, Cox took the stage, greeted his fans as “Cox Lovers” and threw his sweaty towels at them as souvenirs; thus making the ladies scream.  The set list included such Cox standards as “Let’s Duet,” “Guilty as Charged” and the women’s rights song “Ladies First.” (A.
