I just watched this documentary about Sonny Oaks on the Sundance channel, "...and Sunday Will Kill You", and it was pretty good! The only bad thing was that since you guys didn't give them clearance to use your music, they would show live footage of you with Velvet Revolver playing in the background--pretty jarring. Still, it was cool to watch old grade school teachers and high school friends talk about you all...I guess.

This is a real jerk move, and I know I agitated for a lonnnnnng time to hear fresh Sonny Oaks songs--which are great--but I really wish I could hear "Deep In Your Waters", and now I CAN'T.
