Was interesting to hear in both the movie and the panel discussion afterwards last night in LA, how many “punk legends” got inspired by “prog-rock” in the early 70’s. Great discussion by Jello Biafra about Hawkwind and Keith Morris praising Yes, King Crimson, etc. He wasn’t mentioned but John Lydon also went down that path leading up to the Sex Pistols. The film is hitting San Francisco, Oakland, and Portland on February 11 at the Hollywood Theatre. One night only in each place.
