This week filmmaker, writer Matt Bissonnette on weird, mythical worlds and an enduring classic from The Band

This weeks story is our first from a filmmaker and writer.  I'm so happy to have Matt Bissonnette share his thoughts and feelings on a seemingly indestructible and mythical house that the Band built. Music From Big Pink,  is not only the structure that literally gave birth to the Band's 1968 debut album, but it could also be seen as the metaphoric, unique structure they built and continued to build upon until their demise in 1977.  Music From Big Pink had a rural, idyllic, Americana lyricism floating throughout every tune that was, in many ways,  completely at odds with the hippy psychedelia of 1968.  Yet it was most likely the romantic yearning of the prose and working man hymnals that resonated with many hippies, freaks, civil rights activists and radicalized students on North American campuses. Thankfully, in 2010, it hasn't lost any of its enduring resonance.
