Had to post this article from the NY Times on "The Wrecking Crew". Not the group of villains from Marvel Comics...The Wrecking Crew that was the band behind the Beach Boys, The Monkees, Mama's and Pappa's and so many more:

Music "Industry" is just pathetic though...they won't let the Documentary Maker use some 130 song snippets without getting paid for them. I can't believe that some sort of deal couldn't be worked out. THIS IS MUSIC HISTORY for pete's sake. Just absolutely pathetic on the Music Industry's part. Shame on you ASCAP and all the other royalty agencies. Funny thing is I just heard of a local restaurant having to pay to have music piped in. Huh??!!?? I understand when you have a live band in the instrument that you have to pay to play...but piped in music??!!??
