Died Young, Stayed Pretty: A Movie You Must See About Rock Posters…
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.

Oh, a must see!
Thought of you often during this film. It would be amazing to somehow help assemble artists like this and help get a local collective going. Something to think about WB!
