The Greatest Story Ever Told: The 1200 Bar Blues
The Greatest Story Ever Told is based on a band that did not make it, a band you never heard of, playing songs you never knew.
But what about the coke fueled parties? The difficult second album? Who slept with whose wife / husband / daughter?
What about the grandiose celebrity failure checklist that passes as music journalism?
You see, bad behavior is not exclusively for the rich and famous. We have all done pretty fuc*ed up things.
So for the Coke Fueled Parties, you get a junkie drummer. And that is no party.
Re: the cliché of the difficult 2nd album. How about the difficult 7th drummer? The 3rd mortgage?
The assorted affairs? Yes, you need to be rich to do that. Right? (crickets…)
No…these are trappings of success. Right down to the fact that they are reported and cataloged and presented to a generally uninterested World.
No. What I am talking about is Death or Glory.
Or steady work or Glory.
