Yesterday was busy but at lunch i turned the tv on. IFC channel has DocuMondays so they show documentaries all day Monday and I saw a GREAT one. DERAILROADED is the story of Larry "Wild Man" Fisher. This guy had a cult following in the very late 60' to the 80's for his off beat, wacky, crazy rants and unintelligible songs. He was so crazy, Frank Zappa wanted to record with him... Wow. Poor guy was suffering from Bi-Polar, Schitzophrenia, mania and every other defect out there.
The record producers and his friends tab him as a genius but it was kinda sad. Hard to work with someone who threatens your life.
It's a good watch if you can stand 90 minutes of terrible singing...
