Jesus, when the fuck is there gonna be a documentary that actually respects itself enough to take down all these mythic impressions and sacred icons within punk? (etc etc etc?) I mean: one that stops taking itself so seriously and instead does the world a favour by framing the Notable Rock Band as actual, fallible humans. Shit, even if it WAS rollins or thurston who did the talking, at least it'd be entertaining to hear em say "yeah, Husker Du was bad."
Same goes for 'rock books'. You never read books that go "well, actually, [insert dudes] were actually kinda shitty" -- but when you do see 'em, it's way more interesting. I wanna be turned against my favourite bands, goddammit! Why does every fucking one of these documentaries on the planet have to be a punk 101 at best and a sermon at worst?
Oh yeah, because money.
