It is a pretty accurate take on the music scene in the early 70's.
Take it from someone who lived thru the era in New York City.

the Otis Redding scenes were lit and framed like moments from Woodstock [parentheses removed]
If that's the case, no wonder people are vexed by the whole thing.

Camper88, all I can do is acknowledge your curiosity - maybe someday I can foam and snarl for you in person;
in writing it would take too long and not be at all good for my mood or digestion.

I just now read this - pretty similar to my own reaction
So it's okay that they asked him instead of me :E

The song "Rotten apples" played by the Nasty Bits is a James and Mick Jagger's composition; I read that info in the Billboard article and I thought that the Jagger's father&son team as songwriters was a cool try.
Rock and roll,

I had been looking forward to this HBO show for a long time but recent trailers looked suspiciously hokey. Last night's pilot confirms that with a older inappropriate cast members trying to look cool. Music/Rock n Roll is an animal that can't be captured on film not like this...at least on a fiction project.
If you wanted to see the evolution of music/rock and roll, blues, grunge, jazz and so on, you might want to pick up a copy of David Grohl / Foo Fighters Sonic Highways. This series is an incredible lesson and experience in music. I am still adding cds to my collection based on all the mentioned artist highlighted on this HBO project.
Don't get me wrong. I am a Martin Scoresse film fan and Mick...what can I say? !!! My love of the Stones is why I check in every day to this website. Maybe David Chase could have given this project more of a Sopranos contemporary feel. I also know this was not intended to be a music documentary but if the series was done right it would be...right?
So in closing, maybe episode two might be better but I am counting the days when I will see the band again.
You can't always get what you want!

Still waiting for this series to fully grab me. There are great FU moments like when Richie backed out on the Polygram deal. Richie reminds me 100% of my first boss, I miss those days!! The Jamie Vine character is hot

It's really good. I like it. I like the music they choose (or, Mick chooses).

Same here, I hope they release a soundtrack to the series.
