Thread Name: Review: Townes van Zandt documentary
Subject: RE: Townes van Z Doc
I'm afraid I think sometimes that he ought to have let a few of them go; the world only needs so many songs about bar-room girls before they just start to run together.

I did think it was a good documentary, and I was glad that the majority of the commentary was from family members and not some "outsider", but, for me, at least, I don't think it had the effect that it was supposed to have, but then I'm a pessimist by nature and have a personal policy of respecting the art but being careful not to wish too much about the artist.
