A documentary on Love (the band, not the feeling, you choad)

Wierd-Stache posted about the Calvin Johnson interview and that was pretty cool so I thought I share something I watched today, this short documentary on Love. Now, I know this means bowing down to Pitchfork TV, but so be it. I'd never watched it before but this is all right in my book.

Some notes upon watching the first five minutes
- Arthur Lee (RIP) seems like a nice guy. He talks like a harmless burnout and dresses somewhere between Johnny Cash and Tupac Shakur. I'd chill out with him.
-Johnny Echols seems all right as far as former rock stars go. Just another mellow hippie.
-Brian Maclean's face shrunk. I'm not kidding. In the old photos he looks normal, but when it cuts to recent clips his head looks like a balloon with two little dots for eyes. Apparently he did a lot of heroin. Maybe heroin makes your face shrink?
-Michael Stewart must have the most pathetic mustache in all of rock. I hope he had just began it when they were filming. Move over Mick Mars, Michael Stewart is coming back.


-Alban Pfsister enjoys cutting and stacking firewood. This seems like a fitting hobby for an old guy who's had enough of the sex and drugs. The guy just wants to make a cozy fire, so let him be.
