Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Man, Booker

If you’re still, even after my lies and cajoling, on the fence about watching James Booker’s documentary Bayou Maharajah, then look at that bullshit right there. Look at it. Harder. Look at the bullshit.

And tell me honestly you’re not even slightly curious.

Fun fact: Booker stole that wig from Billy Preston.

      Is The Sunshine Makers worth watching? I’ve almost pulled the trigger on it a bunch of times.
