    Watched the Challenger doc on Netflix over the weekend. Had finished the amazing book on it over Christmas, and this was a great follow-up to that.

    Saw the Jerry Springer one on Prime, too. Not sure what I expected, but the "We were all fucked up and did anything we could in the name of ratings" didn't exactly bring out my shocked face.

    Watched the Little Steven documentary on Max. Having read his autobiography it didn’t come as much of a surprise, but boy does it overstate his importance in the rock and roll pantheon. He’s obviously someone who is well respected and has a vast knowledge of music history. Understanding that he maybe didn’t get the public acclaim that he maybe should have, it treated some of the real minor stuff which he did like all time classics.

    Thanks for linking the trailer -- I will definitely be checking that out!

    Crazy thing I learned after moving to the Pacific Northwest: Before they played their famous shows at the Filmore West in 1969 (referenced in the trailer), LZ had a handful of earlier shows on its first U.S. tour. Including a gig at Gonzaga University in Spokane!!!
