Bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, were the line up at compilation concerts like Lollapalooza, and Off Ramp Cafe.

Johnny Flynn is an actor and a musician. When I reviewed an independent film called, Lotus Eaters, at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, there was a particular moment that I felt compelled to mention.

This past weekend, Johnny Flyn...

The film starts off with a verse from The Book of Job 58: 4, 7, “Where were you when I laid the ...
