@@heathercollins4432 I forgot all about it until you asked. It does look good, but I'm thinking that since I forgot about it once, I am probably not as jazzed about it as I thought. But I can never tell, I may remember it the next time I get to the video rental shop. I am glad to hear that the movie is not political. Folk musicians sang about freedom and didn't seem to care about the horrors of communism and that people around the world needed the U.S. to stop communists from taking over their countries. The South Koreans are certainly glad that we helped them fight of communists, and the Hungarians were upset that we didn't help them in 1956.

Continually amazed and the talent that just sweats out of these guys: acting, playing a myriad of instruments, and the wonderfully subtle, ironic, and snarky humor...all woven together into some astonishing results. But I think you have to have a certain refined level of humor to understand and "get" their mindset. I once went to see A Mighty Wind with 2 friends...one friend and I laughed uproariously throughout the whole thing, while the other one was annoyed, and didn't "get it." Which was her great loss. As well, seeing the original Spinal Tap with an old boyfriend, with both of us having the understanding of the bombastic 70s "prog rock" hair bands--and their demise--is still one of my favorite memories. We laughed till our sides ached! And of course, much of it all started with SCTV, which we watched religiously (to this day, I STILL quote lines from SCTV!) Super super talented folks!

Clearly Christopher Guest is a genius, but fortunately for us, of the funny kind. While I've seen all his mockum - oops, sorry, social satire movies - I think "A Mighty Wind" is his perfect movie. This could air on PBS, er, PBN as a documentary of that preciously small window between late 1950s and early 1960s, and if you'd had amnesia, you would believe this actually happened. The characters are deeply etched and every one is realistic, and the music is spot-on for the genre. Here it is 2019 and I'm still singing "When You're Next to Me"... and I'm not the only one, as several artists have covered songs from the movie. When you're enjoying the comedy and suddenly you're anticipating the kiss as if it's a serious sentimental movie, the writers have pulled off a minor miracle. Kudos to Guest and Levy, and of course everyone else involved. Kudos too to Mr. Osgood, who clearly "got" the subject and wrote his piece perfectly blending the interviews with scenes from the movie.

You had to be a Boomer to remember this, and how absolutely accurate the parody was. I laughed so much in the theater that people thought maybe something was wrong with me, or I was putting it on. I bought seven copies to give friends. The twist to the film is that at one point, the clownish musicians suddenly play something quite beautiful. And when you think about it, the values in folk music did blow up into the world we live in since.

What's mind boggling is that folksters like this were the hipsters of their time, they were pushing the limits of what was considered socially acceptable for middle-class White people.

Please don't defame Puff the Magic Dragon by repeating the tired myth that it had anything to do with drugs. Peter, Paul and Mary have said many times that not only does it not, they are genuinely pained by people turning a song about the innocence of childhood into some kind of code for drugs. Note: you don't know me, so you'll just have to trust that I have no problem with people pointing out songs that actually _are_ making coded references of this sort (whether to drugs, sex or whatever). I just find it annoying when people insist upon doing it to songs that aren't in that category.
