Swinging North Carolina couple looking for good times. He enjoys Bi, unless another man is involved. She enjoys Bi because her husband tells her she better enjoy it.
Died Young, Stayed Pretty. A film about rock posters. Thanks to Dr. H.
Last night I was one of seven people (including my good friend Dr. H, the projectionist) that took in the movie Died Young, Stayed Pretty at The Grand Illusion here in Seattle. Yeah, I know it was a Sunday and yeah, Died Young is an obscure flick that documents the anti-culture artists that have been creating rock posters over the last couple of decades. However, Died Young is not only an enthralling movie if you’re a rock junkie like me, it’s also an expertly edited, introspective look into the lives of the artists that do what they do because they can’t not do it. Hometown bonus points to director Eileen Yaghoobian for the screen-time dedicated to Seattle’s vibrant, underground rock-art scene.
Died Young, Stayed Pretty runs through Thursday at The Grand Illusion.

Mickey Rourke not only smokes ‘em if he’s got ‘em, he smokes them when he’s got them all at once. Now that’s class.
As much as I wish it was, this isn’t a photo of Mickey Rourke showing off how he can hold up a brick wall while smoking not one but two ciggys. Anyway, here’s a photo of Mickey Rourke on the set of his new movie with Megan Fox, Passion Play. While smoking two cigarettes and holding up a brick wall.
Courtney Love and “Hole” rehearsing “Honey”. From the forthcoming record, Nobody’s Daughter due out this year.
If you close your eyes and listen to this video of Courtney Love running through 30 seconds of the new Hole song “Honey”, you can almost hear Patti Smith. If she had just polished off a pack of Marlboro red boxes and and a bottle of Jack. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Although it might be. True story.
