Yeah, that would be a cool movie. I wish I enjoyed Patti Smith more. On paper, I love her. But every time I listen...it's just not for me. For the record, I fully accept that I am wrong about this.
I usually don't read about the songs you give us before I'm listening to them, but this time I did and I thought for sure I was going to vote for George Clanton. But I just voted for Lori McKenna? What have you done to me, Finnegan? Also, do you have a thing for final songs on albums? Don't make me go back and figure out the actual numbers, but seems like that's been a tendency.
This doesn't really feel mean enough. Or even mean at all. That Charly Bliss song kind of sucks?
I don't even mean that. Well, maybe a little. Anyway.
Jobriath is the obvious biopic hole we have right now. There was a documentary somewhat recently that I haven't seen though and maybe that was all we needed.
* I'm not sure if it's better to listen first or read first. I think my inclination would be to do them simultaneously. But then maybe you'd be robbed of these precious moments of self discovery.
* Not sure if I'm biased towards last songs, but yeah, I do love a late album hidden gem.
* I can't believe you're so mean.
* I actually went to a screening of the Jobriath doc at Lincoln Center however many years ago. It's quite good! I don't remember who said it, but there's a quote from it that I think of often. The guy was trying to explain why more people don't remember Jobriath: : "Sometimes all groundbreakers do is break ground." Or something to that effect.
* I am indeed fucking off. For four weeks, dammit!
Whoa. I LOVE Marvin Gaye (have 2 box sets on CD) and play him almost daily at home, even just for a few minutes but I had no idea about that. Definitely gonna get that book soon. Those clips were great.
A bio pic of Patti Smith, the G-d Mother of Punk.

And give me an O.D.B. biopic finally please.
I'm not even a huge fan, but an ODB doc would be amazing. The CGI on his teeth alone!
Divided Soul is great. The author conducted hours and hours of interviews with Marvin, so a lot it comes directly from the source.
