Not exactly a ringing endorsement, I have to say.
But hey, so long as I never have to actually meet the guy, I'll just be sure to steer clear of the otherwise civilized conversations that may catch his attention.
At the Kuma's party, where do the bands play? Do they close off Francisco Avenue and have a block party type thing? Or does everybody just jam inside the restaurant?
That song was great, I think I need to listen to more happy relaxed stuff like that. Boo if only I have could have come to Pentagram with you! Did they play Last Days Here?
I recommend Woodstock very highly, it's definitely one of the best rock documentaries. It captures a lot of great performances by a lot of different bands. Check out the list of artists who appear, it's quite a who's who, and no pun intended. The movie also does a great job of showing the context of the concert, with lots of footage of the crowd, and other background material. If you have a choice, the director's cut is even better than the original theatrical release. And even longer, so you might need a few viewing sessions to get through the whole thing. But either way it's really well done, and edited by Martin Scorsese by the way.
I watched it not too long ago, and I'm a big fan. It's a bit shocking though to see so many sincere hippies and semi-hippies. Yes, there really was a time when people said that something was "groovy", and they weren't being ironic or sarcastic. It's really nice to see that, uplifting almost, but I felt like the movie should have started with a giant crawl saying, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...."
Glad you liked my set! I miss working in record stores... apart from the annoying task of having to go through and alphabetize everything periodically... it has to be one of the best jobs evvvveerrr *sigh* ... i miss it.
