    It's lame and in poor taste because that mofo doesn't have those records and he just copied Frank's layout with the group shots of LP's. Not to mention the fcat that the video footage is not his and his whole website looks like some cheap ass way to get money without having earned it. It just seems like some guy wanting to imitate what Frank has done but more in a cheap exploitational way.

    I already contacted 5 companies who own the rights to the movies this scam artist has used for his "trailer". He's bound to get into some kind of trouble...

    b,121b,121hey Kub, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about and do not know the backstory involved, so just bow out of this and shut the F*ck up...ok? k...

    b,121b,121They aren't exactly everyday records pulled from the neighborhood flea market. Perhaps you should do some reading.

    What if you took pictures of another person's records without their permission and then used the pictures in a blog and then someone ripped those pictures off?

    b,121b,121That was understood the first time you posted. I have a long time ago realized that there are a lot of people out there who do not see or understand certain things so you're not really bringing anything new to the table here. Thanx for sharing though.

  • I liked the kinder,gentler, more funny JLR. Where did he go?

  • this Raymond Dumbass has to be a fraud out for a few bucks...when this thread appeared I sent him an email telling him I worked for the state department in the early 70s and was based in West Africa and that I shot hours of super 8 footage at various outdoor music festivals and on Fela's compound (an ex-girlfriend of mine's dad was in the State Department in the early 70s based in Nigeria and he told me stories of going to Fela's compound, so Americans have been on Fela's compound, so my story is very plausible....not related, but he told me that the folks on Fela's compound "smoked joints that were 9 or 10 inches long"!!!!) and dude didnt write me back...dontcha think if you were making a movie and someone said they had one of kind footage of your subject matter, you would write back very quickly? Hack....

    b,121b,121haha... thanx for the innitiative!b,121Dude never got back to me on my mails.b,121I've even found a phone number on an other website by the same guy that also has a more legit look than this one but the number doesn't work. I've now contacted someone who was supposed to participate in the making of this movie some years back to get this guys contacts. I also found out which production companies this F*ck has worked for in the past as a low-level camera man... I have some lawyers in my wife's family who will send letters around at former work places just to re-adjust his rep a bit, it's cleasr that legal steps would be a waste of time but he's going to enjoy the max trouble I manage to stire up and I'm usually pretty creative when it comes to shit like that.b,121b,121I hate these self-important movie-hacks who think they are something because they carry a camera around that's worth less than a hand full of records.
