BBC 4's on The Stone Roses and Pulp's "Common People" are incredibly well-made. Also, I think they made
an amazing one on Joe Meek.

I love Soaked in Bleavh and the animated segments from. Montage of Heck by Hisko Hulsing. An animated Young Kurt Cobain show
would be terrific

Neil Young's Muddy Track (1987) is pretty excruciating, even by his standards. He makes a really
homophobic remark in it that make me wince, too

The Gene Clark one (The Byrd That Flew Alone) was a big letdown. Virtually no footage of him playing live or even being interviewed, I guess his estate didn't cooperate.

The Gene Clark one

Yes, that was rough. The one thing I remember most from it was that photograph from his last show. He did not look good, to put it mildly.

Tonight I will finally watch the Chris Gaines Behind The Music & Warren Beatty's 2010 Dick Tracy special, so I may know which is nuttier.
