Have you ever written about Kiss and the Phantom of the Park? I feel like you might have done it before, if not, it fits the bill. Love the Chris Gaines suggestion, lot's to go into on that one. Mick Jagger has a few to look at. He did a movie in 1987 directed by Julian Temple and starring Mick and Jeri Hall as themselves, Rae Dawn Chong as 'Slave Girl' and Dennis Hopper as Tobby the Director. It's called Running out of Luck. Found it when I was looking for Performance, the movie he made in 1970 which I also want to recommend.
It’s good to have her be there to tell you that. A friend of mine who’s on the opposite side of the country in LA was an allegedly visible extra in “Ford v. Ferrari” and we watched the whole thing without spotting her. But at least that movie was worth watching in its own right.
Also, if you can track down a copy of The Comas' CONDUCTOR: THE MOVIE, that might also fit the bill here, as it prominently features future Oscar nominee Michelle Williams.
Two words: Chris Gaines.
Two favorites are Rock and Roll Nightmare (Jon-Mikl Thor) and Voyage of the Rock Aliens (Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora). Both will blow your mind.
Voyage of the Rock Aliens is a great choice!

Not sure if it counts, but the "Heartbeat" long-form video from Don Johnson may be worth a look. It should be available to watch on YouTube for free.
I have to watch this too...my daughter-in-law is in the background somewhere! But she is going to tell me where so I don't have to see the whole mess.

"Falling from Grace," the 1992 directing and acting debut of John Cougar Mellencamp.
Would Steve Vai's appearance in CROSSROADS count?
This might also give you some ideas: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/movies/blank-generation-amos-poe.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IE8.kOR2.SU6Ozt6zdulQ&smid=url-share

I can’t remember if you’ve covered Under The Cherry Moon before.
He did, for My Year of Flops. Wonder if it's worth a rewatch?
Prince has done a bunch of video projects in this vein.
*Googles*
Paul Simon’s “One Trick Pony.”
“The Linda McCartney Story.”
“Rock Star”
One just called “Music” that Sia directed, which appears to also be a candidate for the autism in film series.
Ringo Starr’s “Caveman.”
Vanilla Ice’s “Cool as Ice.”
Miley Cyrus’ “The Last Song.”
Also came across a lot that you had already done, especially for The AV Club. Could be some good candidates for a second review in there.
Nathan reviewed the Sia movie, and it was wonderful. (The review, not the movie.)
Prince's UNDER THE CHERRY MOON.
Billy Corgan has several possible projects, I'm sure
