Watched the documentary on The Band last night and really enjoyed it.
Kind of hit the sweet spot for me. I remember so clearly when "The Big Pink" came out. Myself and a couple of my friends loved that album.
We flipped on "The Weight." Still to this day one of my favorite songs.
What a great band they were. Sad that drugs got into them and tore them up. So many people went down with drugs.
What a unreal time for music. I doubt that there will ever be another time like that. Music was everywhere. It was such a dominant part of life then.
For myself and the people I hung with everything was centered around the music scene.
We all knew about The Band playing with Dylan. But when they stepped out on their own the music was honest and real. They were so tight. The songs just fit together to their style.
I watch the Grammy's and am left empty. I know there will always be good new music but there is so little I come across moves me. So much Beyonce pop stuff.
Oh well I have long playlists and plenty of music that I listen to.
