  • I watched the documentary, and I recommend it. When you crunch the numbers, they would have to have been superhuman to have written so much, recorded it, toured, and made movies in such a compressed time frame. The evidence suggests that they had a lot of help from their friends, an inside joke, no doubt. This doesn’t mean that they had no talent, but as we often learn in the entertainment business, legends can be manufactured, especially when you realize that there was a larger agenda going on.
