Many of the artists that were my favorites when I was young ARE still performing, even making albums. Some are just a good as when they were young....Some haven't changed.. Money is always the issue...

I never knew of this group. I knew of the Dead Kennedys... I will help you think of ideas. My goodness you live in the perfect place for such projects....historical places everywhere.

@LisaJMoore The reality of getting "historical places" to cooperate with a documentary film production is a nightmare. Most demand editorial control along with fees. I've got more ridiculous stories than you can imagine.

drews looking for dady by the title

[drewnetwork]

@markeymonk I have no idea what you're attempting to convey. The "In Search of" title is a play on the Michael Wood BBC documentaries.

@drewnetwork ,,i'm messin with ya....milk men fathered plenty of kids....good vlog anyhow...good luck to em,but its good to find ,like partridge family dude on h4w's

[drewnetwork]

@markeymonk Yeah, that "Partridge Family" thing was outrageous. The little red head kid -- now on Social Security and Medicare.

The Dead Milkmen were a really important band for me...

[MisterLettuce]

The best part? The audio clip used for the Dead Milkmen "today" predates the clip used for the Dead Milkmen "twenty five years ago" by two years. Funny stuff.

I know one member is dead.

I'm only 29 and i love these guys. They really hit me when i was 17/ 18, and were introduced by my older brother.

This is a great idea. As far as I know, A proper doc. on DMM has not been done. I'd love to see it!

cheers & good luck!

i'd reconsider that. the Dead Milkmen haven't stayed together. they disbanded for a good while following several major label debacles. the one who got his doctorate is also the one who died. Dave Blood took his own life after battling depression. guitarist/singer Joe Jack Talcum has continued to tour solo and with several side projects all these years, and the band just released a new album that is a journey away from Big Lizard.

nice. faved.

i grew up during the grunge movement in the early 90s and i am very thankful for that. the music that came from that era has left its mark on this man in a big way. and as much as i hate to say it, the grunge movement of the early 90s may very well prove to be the last musical revolution.

i don't listen to anything new at all and i'm fine with that. at this stage in my life, i spend more time writing, recording, producing and listening to my own music than i do anything else.

I was a HUGE Dead Milkmen fan back in the day. This cracked me up....especially the line "Big lizard in my Backyard...you know..really powerful stuff." This is funny and I would say don't take it so seriously people. Laugh..like the Dead Milkmen always wanted us to do.
