Well, not, not everything is a full documentary, which is one of the nice things, I guess you could say about the way content has shifted. We spend a lot of time. I spend a lot of time talking about how I don't like the fractured media environment we're in, but an eight minute documentary is just fine. Yeah, you know, like, that's probably what the Rainier Beer adds, you know, and the beer. But also I think a little bit of it is probably related to if you grew up with it or not. Like, I might have a, a longer attention span for that stuff because I did grow up watching those commercials on tv. I'm really fascinated with them. But generally speaking, like, you don't. And by the way, pot kettle black here, maybe the Trachtenberg thing I made didn't need to be an hour and a half either. Like, I, you know, sometimes something can be 10 minutes and that can be all the time we need for this. The, the crows thing seemed to center around. Well, I was expecting it to. It seems like what it's kind of getting into is the journey of Adam Duritz, the lead singer, and how he. They became a very popular band, but a very kind of, like, maligned band. Like, they got popular at a time where getting broadly popular was actually seen as uncool. So they were sort of branded as uncool, even though they had a lot of fans and a lot of people really loved their music. But it was weird though, because if I remember right, there's like, there's one celebrity. I mean, Adam Durrs famously dated a string of celebrities himself. And I would imagine Counting Crows have a bunch of celebrity fans. There's one quasi celebrity that I see in the trailer, and it's the comedian and roastmaster, Jeff Ross, going, who the hell was Mr. Jones? It's like, that was it. I thought maybe we'd get. You know, what would have been interesting was if you. And maybe this is in the movie. I haven't watched it. Obviously, if you went out and you found some people, you know, if Noam Chomsky was a crow's head, you know, or Marina Abramovich or something like, find me some interesting, thoughtful, unlikely people that like the Counting Crows and then get there, you know, or like, I don't know if Paris Hilton liked Counting Crows and had thoughts on them. That would be interesting to me, right? It's like Jeff Ross will show up to the opening of an envelope. Like, getting him on your documentary about the majesty and the genius that is Counting Crows was weird to me. The other thing was. And I want to be careful with how I talk about this, because I guess. I don't know. I think I know what Adam Duritz's ethnic background is, but we'll just say the locks, the hairdo, my sense of Adam Duritz and having locks. And by the way, I'm trying to be careful and not say dreadlocks, because I think the idea is that, you know, dreadlocks was a. Like, these were dreaded. These were, like, something that was considered to be unsightly. So now there's been a certain move to try to call them locks. I'm trying to do that right now. The hairdo that Adam Duras was wearing, I don't think. I don't think he is a person of color in the way we typically use that term. So, like, I think he was a white guy with that hairdo, and that was always something he got a little knocked for. And what I can tell you, having watched the trailer for this is I think that criticism was valid. There's so many different shots of his hair looking so unfortunate and, like, it never worked in any scenario. And he had different sizes of locks, and he. There's so many different things that are going. You see, like, 20 different varieties of this hair choice from him, and not one of them looks good.
