Band/artist documentaries.

@yogiboy: Thanks for the Everly Brothers tip. I love them, and was unaware of the documentary. Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe are big fans of theirs, and they included a 7" EP in the first pressing of the Rockpile album, in which they perform four of the brothers' songs.

For those who need prompting, here's the trailer for the Everly Brothers documentary nominated above by yogiboy:

Has anyone watched "Quincy", the documentary about Quincy Jones?

The list of accomplishments is too large to cover here. This is from wikipedia-The film epilogue details his career as follows: "Over 2,900 songs recorded; over 300 albums recorded; 51 film and television scores; over 1,000 original compositions; 79 Grammy nominations; 28 Grammy awards; 1 of 18 EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony); Thriller the best selling album of all time; We Are the World the best selling single of all time; $63 million raised for famine relief in Africa; and 7 children."

The amount of cocaine they consumed is astounding.

That made me chuckle. I read Stevie Nicks autobiography and she stated she spent millions on the drug. A plastic surgeon told her that her nose could be irreparably damaged to the point of losing her voice which is why she finally checked herself into rehab in 1985.

When I read the book, I eagerly picked up Fleetwood Mac LIVE, which was recorded in 1980. Kind of the peak of when the band was putting bottle caps of coke all over the stage for one to partake while performing.

Stevie's singing on the LIVE album is horrific. More so when you know why. She sounds like she has a cold - all stuffed up! - and when you know the truth it is a hard listen. I jettisoned that album quickly after realizing that the band couldn't stop for one night to ensure they sounded as they should. In fact, they were not even aware that they sounded awful. 

Surprised no mention of The Who, either The Kids Are Alright or Amazing Journey. But the one to seek out is We Jam Econo; The Story of the Minutemen. D Boon like so many others, gone too soon.
