ok, c-dog, it's now official that you HAVE to listen to the stone roses "second coming" and realize how brilliant it is.
i insist upon this, after watching this great doc of the manchester thingy.
also, if you can ever find that awesome NBC or CBS doc we watched waaay back about the italian and norweigen ski teams in the 4 x 10 relay, that would be rad. remember that one? narrated by sam waterston or waterton or whatever?
i really liked the first 45 mins, then found it started to drag towards the end, and started to focus on the business end of things more than the art/music.
also, some of the narration annoyed me, like when he referred to something or other as "a capitalist hijacking of their anarchist ideals" or something like that. they might've been anarachists, but they had hot tubs and personal assistants and owned a night club, so... i dunno.
also, i would've like to see more on the early years-- the sex pistols barely got a mention.
still, i liked it-- that guy from new order with the computers behind him was hilarious.
amazing, too, that one small, cold, dreary industrial city produced the sex pistols, joy division, new order, tears for fears, simply red, the happy mondays, the smiths, the stone roses, and fuelled the DJ/rave culture explosion of the 90's.
