Usually I can get past it by watching a movie or listening to music.  A couple nights ago I had a bout of insomnia and decided to combine the two by firing up Netflix and seeing what they had for streaming movies about music.  I found an interesting sounding documentary: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.netflix.com\/WiMovie\/A_to_Zeppelin_The_Unauthorized_Story_of_Led_Zeppelin\/70000265?trkid=438381&#038;lnkctr=srchrd-sr&#038;strkid=621815056_19_2\">A to Zeppelin &#8211; the Unauthorized Story of Led Zeppelin.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How &#8220;Unauthorized&#8221; was it?  It was <strong>so<\/strong> unauthorized that they didn&#8217;t have permission to <em>play any actual songs by Led Zeppelin<\/em>.  They got early publicity stills, they got interviews with the band&#8217;s contemporaries and early influences, they&#8217;ve got everything for a blow-out retrospective.  Except for any actual music by the actual band.<\/p>\n<p>Dwell on that for a moment, because that&#8217;s what ruined this movie.<\/p>\n<p>I finally turned it off after the third or fourth interview with a 70&#8217;s rocker who was going on about how he was talking with &#8220;Bonzo&#8221; Bonham about how his drumming on Moby Dick changed his own band&#8217;s sound.  That sort of interview is absolutely pointless if you don&#8217;t then go and play either Moby Dick or the other band&#8217;s tune or, preferably, bits of both.<\/p>\n<p>Final grade: D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I sometimes get insomnia.
