Anyone gonna check out this new documentary series on AMC? Just saw a trailer for the premier, which features an hour long look at Kanye's "Jesus Walks." Looks pretty interesting.

Yes I will watch and probably enjoy it, but I also will probably be that snob making comments like “Jesus Walks was only the 5th best song on the album though! Make something on We Don’t Care or Spaceship!”

Oops.

Haha yeah, the list of songs they are focusing on is interesting, but I'm sure they all have unique stories behind them (along with people willing to tell those stories), so that's what they went with. I'm looking forward to checking it out, regardless.
