2539013, excellent doc, I didn't know Kendall left the cult

When he showed up at the end I was like WTF?

But it was good to see him again.

I do wonder what Dowd has been doing since he left the band. He and Kendall were the best writers.

After watching the doc, I'm surprised they kept it together as long as they did. All those different personalities and musical preferences were bound to either blow up or implode, and the relative failure of Reality of My Surroundings sent things downhill for them.

I can't say their label failed to promote them. When you get on SNL and a Spike Lee video, the company is trying to blow you up. Fishbone was just too uncategorizable, and that is never a good thing for a black act.
