It's ok...much better to see him live. It would have been better if it had him playing in a club instead of at Siren Fest and it's a little on the short side. More of a concert movie than a doc.

 Watching Unconstitutional really makes me wonder what road the Bush Administration has lead us down.  The Patriot Act tramples all over the Constitution.   And hearing the Bush machine do thier message buzzword repeat bs, just riles me.
 
 I'm glad to see the Librarians and others stand up to the Patroit Act.

YYY's "Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow" - there's a blurb on it in Express.  It includes 16 tracks from a performance at the Fillmore in SanFran, 6 bonus songs, an artsy Japanese tour documentary and a collection of music videos.

Spinal Tap??

Scratch.  It is a great history of Hip Hop.
 
 Urgh A Music War is quite good too.  How about the Clash Rude Boy?  Sure it is a movie, but it works better as a documentary about the Clash at that time.
 
 For movies with faux bands that read like documentaries, of course there is "This is Spinal Tap", but also "Breaking Glass".
