Looks like the new Red Hot Chili Peppers doc coming out March 20th is not a look at the bands career, but only focusing on the band’s early years and the death of original guitarist Hillel Slovak.
And to me, that’s just fine.

Glasses up to Sly Dunbar who passed today!!!!!!
Sly played on a ton of great records. As a Dylan fan, I will always be partial to his work on the Infidels tracks.

Just watched the new Springsteen:Nebraska Live video running on Hulu.
Just Bruce in an empty theatre,singing those haunting song from Nebraska.
And even though I have heard those songs many times, they are still so unique and emotionally unsettling in the best possible way.

Really glad the Jeff Buckley doc “It’s Never Over” is finally streaming on HBO.
I’m glad more people are getting exposed to him.
The doc is a deeply human portrait of a lesser known musical talent whose life and legacy still resonate!
