I could imagine a larger spatial dynamic in the DVD, but I've also been disappointed by lackluster DVDs. I'm also under the impression from interviews with Wayne, etc., that the Lips aren't too keen on the DVD format either. Otherwise why would they bother with their version of dueling discs?Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-82612353870319054242009-10-30T18:46:12.189-04:002009-10-30T18:46:12.189-04:00Is the audio DVD as awesome as the amazon reviews ...Is the audio DVD as awesome as the amazon reviews claim it is?

So, no, my comment doesn't relate to the music scene of any of these decades, but to the ethos of the 60s. When I read how this guy moved from one shit-hole to the next where he drank his cough syrup and listened to his albums, I got a clearer picture of just how "fun" the sex 'n' drugs 'n' rock 'n' roll scene really was. Prior to that I'd read the usual survivor accounts -- <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Kool-Aid-Acid-Test/dp/031242759X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256924955&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Tom Wolfe</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Revenge-Lawn-Abortion-Wind-Wont/dp/0395706742/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256925000&sr=1-3" rel="nofollow">Richard Brautigan</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Where-I-Fall-Chronicle/dp/1582434964/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256925048&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Peter Coyote</a>, even <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eden-Express-Memoir-Insanity/dp/1583225439/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256925260&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Mark Vonnegut</a> couldn't help but transmit a romantic sensibility of those times. DeRogatis was a very refreshing departure from all that.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-468759534854469902009-10-29T23:11:36.051-04:002009-10-29T23:11:36.051-04:00Haven't read "Let it Blurt", but cur...Haven't read "Let it Blurt", but curious about your comment. You mean you were glad you showed up later because the book made the 60s rock scene look so bad, or because it made the 70s and 80s look good?Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.com
