Paste's Definitive All-Time Top 10 Rock 'n' Roll Documentaries List

Paste magazine has taken a shot at listing the top ten rock n' roll documentaries of all time. Note that Paste has excluded what it views as pure concert films. Thus, Martin Scorcese Last Waltz does not make the list. I think, however, that his PBS documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home should have made the list.

Take a look and let me know if you have any additions.

Dee Dee's first wife apparently has a book that violates an agreement with his executor with respect to any written material about him.

In other legal news, Paste magazine reports on the death of former Wilco band member Jay Bennett shortly after he filed suit against Jeff Tweedy over issues during his tenure in the band. Paste itself may soon follow to its demise (see Campaign to Save Paste).
