Thanks for the info, all! They've been showing music documentaries on the same spot for a couple of months now. Seems like this will be a nice follow-up to the Big Star doc from a couple of weeks back.

I wonder if Kurt will follow up the Coward with some similar "innocently performed double entendres" schtick from George Formby? The banned "With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock" or "When I'm Cleaning Windows" come to mind.

Caryn:

@Parq: heh, nah, it's just that I rather enjoy when tv quiz shows are a bit more tricky (oh, my undying love for The Krypton Factor...). The downside is that they can sometimes leave you feeling like a moron for not getting most of the answers. In those situations, it feels nice to have an excuse handy (like "damn music throwing me off my game!").
Avatar 5:03pm

Rush: oh dear.
Peart on Letterman's "drum week": entertaining.
"Trailer Park Boys" references to Rush: great.

Certainly in terms of Canadian musical atrocities, Rush is probably not in the top 3, no matter how you slice it. Nickelback and Justin Bieber will probably be there, though. The third can be selected from a wide array of unfortunate Canadian acts, depending on your personal taste.

I was fine with U2 until about the mid-90s or so, so I guess I took longer to get sick of them. Plenty of acts I like individual songs from, but not their whole oeuvre. Even Chicago, Eagles and Styx.
