The first script I ever had represented was a vampire script repped by Writers & Artists in Hollywood. Love vampires! Also love La Croix in Forever Knight, another great vampire show. The music for Weight is great, the lyrics obscure. As a result, you might find this one more of a "living room" video that benefits from knowing the Buffy TV series.

I never got "The Weight," and even though I must have heard it a thousand times on the radio growing up, I never knew its name until I read Levon Helm's obit.

I do remember reading a story about Robbie Robertson in Newsweek as a teenager. They were doing one of their "next big thing" treatments on him, built him up like he was some big rock superstar.

That was a couple years before they (along with Time) put Bruce Springsteen on their cover.

Shouldn’t he have a Billy Idol soundtrack?

Buffy, Spike and “The Band” is a connection that I’d have never made but it works surprisingly well. I’m in the minority here on FR, I miss the 90’s, it was a great decade, for me at least it was.

Sarah Michelle Gellar appeared in another very striking, somewhat dark music video for a song that I’ve always enjoyed, being rather uncharacteristically melodic for the group in question. She was just so achingly, absolutely beautiful in it, and apparently it was a very memorable experience for her personally, because upon the death of Scott Weiland, she tweeted “I’ll always be your Sour Girl.”

From 3:01 onward, wow. I’ve posted this video to FR music threads before and caught flak, apparently many just don’t get it, and admittedly, Scott Weiland writhing and cavorting with demonic Teletubbies in a post-apocalyptic Seussian landscape is just a bit peculiar. I hope for Scott Weiland’s sake that the end of this video wasn’t prophetic.

The music seems pretty misplaced with that scenery. Way back when- it was travelling music for a young road bum that hadn’t got stuck out there yet and still had options.
