Another early film that really captured me has a young man was 200 Motels, Frank Zappa's weird rock strangeness that also showed me how much fun and how goofy art/music can be. -and it had boobs.This is making me realize how central artwork was to my early experiences with my favorite music. It drew me in, convinced me to take chances on things I'd otherwise have ignored, and then acted as a guide to the music. We've really lost something with the whole digital distro thing.
I hear you, one of the first bands I was very influenced by was Pink Floyd. At a very young age I watched the Wall often. I can't imagine allowing my kid to watch something like that when they're 10,11, 12 years old. It was disturbing, it was riveting, it was sexual, it gave me glimpses in to what art can be and what humans are capable of. Beauty, destruction, madness, lust, love and envy. So much.
