the heaven's gate documentary on hbo max is good.  two of the guys who "survived" have pretty tragic stories.

also the asch conformity experiment is wild.

Ever since seeing the Vanilla Ice Behind the Music in middle school, I’ve thought of Suge Knight as the scariest human in the world

I'm looking forward to "Our Towns" and I believe the first episode comes out next week. It looks like a feel good series.

Just finished the first 2 hr ep last night. Excellent so far. In high school, my aspiration was to be a writer. I got choked up when they recited from "Up in Michigan." I haven't read much  Hemingway in the last 20 years but sections (like the ending of A Farewell to Arms) just stay with you.

Watched "Jasper Mall" last night.  Nice slice of life documentary about a dying mall in Jasper, Alabama.

I'm sure it's a great doc, but that was a horrific trailer.

I've enjoyed Prey, Obey, Kill. I don't usually enjoy shows where you have to read subtitles, but this one has kept my attention. If you enjoyed The Vow and can handle subtitles then this show is for you.

Woodstock 99 on hbomax - 5/7

Man,what a total shitshow. That show was definitely marketed directly at me, fortunately I was a 17 yr old with parents sensible enough to not let me go. $180 tickets were the most outlandish thing I had ever heard of, but that Korn set would probably have been the highlight of my life at the time.

I didn't particularly agree with the conclusions that some of the more academic guests had, but it was a gut punch to look back at how toxic a community I was definitely part of was. The guests attributed it to malice, but in my personal experience it was more ignorance.

Total lol at the Coachella commercial at the end.

Yes, the reveal that he was playing the afterthought rave tent was pretty lol after how offended he was that his name wasn't on the sign with all the bands on the main stages.

Did Woodstock 99 have a PPV? Or was that 94?

Men

he used past tense, so do you mean to say he was a man when he was 17 in 1999, but he no longer is? seems backwards

The whole angry white guy music thing. I went to a lot of concerts when I was that age, and while Woodstock had problems on a massive scale, I can definitely relate at a personal level about things I saw at shows in Lawrence every weekend. The girls being groped all the time is one I've always been disgusted by but I for sure thought it was funny that a "show your tits" chant would break out literally anytime a female came on stage.

That doc gave me awful anxiety.

I was going into my senior year when they did that and I had rage/Korn/limp bizkit/dmx on repeat all summer

The idea that you would charge people a bunch of money then have a venue with no shade, insufficient toliets, insufficient water, insufficient garbage clean up and then blame young angry white men and the music they listen to is a little much for me.

i think the insufficient <everything> in '99 was just sort of an homage to the original '69 event

Yeah that was  :jerk:. One of my favorite parts was the promoter saying something like "a normal limp bizkit show doesn't have Fred durst in the crowd yelling 'break stuff'" I saw limp bizkit probably 4 times by that time and that's exactly what their shows were like (and it was great)

DMX absolutely murdered his set at WS99.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
