Dad Band - video short - five stars

DAD BAND

A short film about old guys playin´music. Yes, very funny. "I said that the only way I was going to do this was as a vehicle for my own voice." As a songwriter myself that line really made me laugh. Where there is art, good, bad or ugly, there is always pretentiousness.

I wish that this were the pilot for a series. Will I ever not think of this when I´m playing music for the rest of my life? No, this will haunt me. But bands are always funny. A tiny percentage actually make a decent living and the rest sacrifice a lot for music. It´s easy to laugh at. The episodes of Friends where Ross is doing his keyboard music and, "the sound", cracked me up too. Spinal Tap, Electric Apricot, Wayne´s World, are all hilarious. Feel free to add more examples of your own.
