I really enjoyed the part where everyone calls David an asshole. He's definitely my favorite asshole. What a talent. Such an under-rated song writer.

One of the most underrated songwriters of our time. David has literally mastered every musical genre he's tackled. He tells stories in an honest and meaningful way. It's too bad they've never hit the "big time" but he's an absolute Icon to me. I'll continue to see every show possible until David and Johnny hang it up. Thanks so much for this.

You in the Midwest?

The song Mexican Chickens on David's solo album In The Shadow Of The Bull is an amazingly honest song and really demonstrates his maturity as a writer. A must listen.

In the 80's; growing up in a home in Indiana with 3- 45's records and no cable, I stumbled upon CVB's 1st record, Black Flag's Everything went Black and Eat your Paisley by the Dead Milkmen, were around the same time, which set me on a pretty righteous path.

Eat Your Paisley is in my top 10.

Adore this. Especially the unexpected love for Davey Farragher

Totally captivating. David's an inspirational figure and maverick, surrounded by terrific, true blue talent. I was a latecomer, jumping on board with the release of Key Lime Pie. It's been a rewarding experience ever since. Thanks to those who brought this film into being.

absolute favorite band of mine. Pure genius, ITS rock , soul, blues, country. Laughing, and sad songs that take me to better times, also take me back to down sides of my life. Mostly for me this band is a fucking time machine. PLAY IT TILL i CRUMBLE....

David and Bob Rupe seem very insightful. Cracker will always be my band from college days.. Cheers guys

Johns little tribute to the Stepmothers near the beginning when he say to the crowd "inland empire" amd hits that short chord

Consider myself lucky for living in Richmond during Cracker's heyday. Saw them tons of times, but the absolute best show was at the now defunct Flood Zone when they were touring to promote their debut album. Never forget Davey came out in a long shirt, by the second or third song he took it off to reveal his sequin dress ... and the show only got better from there. It was also really cool to run into David or Johnny around town ... everyone basically would leave them alone (Richmonders are too apathetic to outwardly act like they give a shit), but we were thrilled to have them represent our town.

Yes. That was a good time. And I was at that flood zone show. The acoustic shows up in Ashland are great too.

I am so impressed with this movie. Thank you David Lowery for showcasing both the brilliance and talent of those you have worked with, the challenges of group dynamics, as well as the games played in the music industry and the corruption tech distribution of music. Surprised to find this movie hear on KZread… may all the proceeds go to those who made the movie & the artists profiled ❤

That was fucking great. The music placements were especially well thought out and executed, it's a shame they didn't secure the rights. Good job to all involved from one who was not involved.

Such a shame that this could not be finished and released. Nonetheless, it was great to watch, very interesting, and was an incredibly open recount of the struggles in an up and coming band. Thank you for posting this video!

I can't help but notice how much David reminds me of one of his contemporaries, Quentin Tarantino. They have the same mannerisms. I hope he'd take that as a compliment.

I worked on this movie. It was EPIC!

This is really well done. Love his music and admire DL so much. Thank you for posting this.

I heard CVB on KFJC in ‘86. Saw them in SF that fall. I had no idea he hailed from Redlands. I have always admired his work and how effortlessly he made it look. Really though, he deserves his success because he never stopped working. He also has championed songwriters rights. The digital age has revealed the heartlessness behind the Silicon Valley. I appreciate David more than ever and am glad for this documentary. Very great work. Chalk up another great Californian songwriter.

Great alt artist and bands.

Thanks for posting, nice to see this even if it is a rough cut...

Thank you so much for posting this!

this is great. thank you!

Thanks for posting!!!!

Thanks for sharing. This was great.

Thanks for sharing this, I can't wait to watch.

Thanks for sharing!

Really great, thanks

Brilliant, Thanks

Thanks Michael, that was awesome. Nothing "rough" about it.

That was really incredible. I learned a lot more about a band I've loved since the early 80s. Thanks for sharing Michael.

Wow...so darn good!

This is great!

Awesome documentary!

Wow Michael. Thank you for sharing. I have a mix of emotions watching this film. The biggest one is sadness that this is not an official release where the makers and the band can benefit. Especially after watching the film and learning of David L's mission to educate artists on getting their share. Is there a future for this film to be released more formally?

Thanks for this doc! Interesting and sharp guy for sure, big ego, yes, but he can back it up with fronting 2 successful bands, a math degree, teaching music business college classes, Jeez! Burning a tire on Earth Day lol.

I see Stephanie and Alex ...so legit!

Great film, as a big fan I really enjoyed it! Just wondering why no China mention? I have pics and video clips from their China run in Beijing and Shanghai if you want to fit something in. I took them around myself and David did a lot of IPR promotion there, in a strict Chinese Communist Party environment, supported by the U.S. government.

That would be a fabulous addition.

David is driving an FJ Cruiser!

If it could get released on DVD/Bluray, I'd definitely pick one up.

sub español plz

!Gran idea!

What's Ol' Red mean "nobody comes from here" how 'bout Joan Baez (Redlands), Sammy Hager (Fontana), Jim Messina (Colton), Keith and Norman aka "Ian" (Riverside), Brian Stakkman (East Riverside), Bob Nye (La Sierra) just to name a few. Oh yeah, and the hippist dude of them all, ME! (Mira Loma)
