I watched the documentary Dig! last night. They followed two bands (Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Masacre) for seven-eight years. Both talented, it was interesting to watch as their personalities and group dynamics led them to their futures. Almost a "sling blade" with guitars but it's real. It reinforced something I read in the globe a few weeks ago: artists create despite mental illness, not because of it. Insanity is a handicap, not a creative crutch. Ditto drug addiction. Like I said, interesting to watch.
Anyone have any Brian Jonestown Masacre they're willing to lend ?
