this is objectively a top 10 funniest kinks image of all time. why would you choose such a jovial, airbrushed, slightly-ethereal image to have next to a homicidal quote from ray

The Band’s third album, Stage Fright, was released 55 years ago today on August 17th, 1970.

“No matter what you call it, it all comes down to a thing that success and the stage does to you. ‘Shine a light on ‘em and see if they can handle it.’ That’s where the Stage Fright concept came from, of just feeling we were standing naked in the midst of this monster that we were creating and then the beast became uncontrollable. On the one hand, it was fascinating to see this happening to you before your eyes and, on the other hand, it was incredibly scary.” — Robbie Robertson interviewed by Rob Bowman, from the liner notes for the 2000 remastered album release.

“In retrospect, Stage Fright deserved to do better, both in terms of sales and critical appreciation. Much of the album, while darker in theme and representing a bit of an aesthetic shift sonically, is ultimately on par with the best music The Band ever recorded.” — Rob Bowman, from the liner notes for the 2000 remastered album release.

video transcript:

Stephen Malkmus: Matt introduced me to him, I think. Um, we were backstage, and he had a belt buckle of the band Magma, the French prog band which, like, was really... I mean, I know, it's just like, certain little things people have. It could be a tattoo, or for other people, it's a car, or just the right jeans, or something. And you're just like, "oh yeah". But like, that just really turned me on. Seeing that belt buckle. It's kinda like a Kiss belt buckle. Very similar, except it says Magma. You know, and the Kiss belt buckle also took me back to a time when that would be, like, something I craved so badly, unfortunately.
