Another good doc about a place in time (Y2K/9-11) and the people who created art our to pain and desire. Lots of good archival footage and some driving interviews that make you want to go out and start a band too.

Best line I’ve ever heard about how to relate tp parents disappointment about wanting to be a musician: “my parents were immigrants and you tell them you want to be in a band, I may as well have told them thanks for all that but I wanna go put on some clown shoes”. Simply awesome.
