"Directed by Santa Barbara-based Louise Palanker, Family Band: The Cowsills Story is an engaging, in-depth, and fascinating look at how one of the most popular bands of the 1960s — and probably the most ambitious and inclusive family-based group — crumbled under the weight of an abusive father-manager. Following the band from its early days on Ed Sullivan, when they played with an instinctual sibling harmony and inspired the creation of The Partridge Family, all the way through the more recent deaths of some family members today, the emotional but fun doc makes us remember the band whose version of “Hair” — not to mention the song “The Rain, The Park, and Other Things,” which you’d know if you heard it — is burned in everyone’s mind.

The Cowsills had some fun songs, but their version of "Hair" (a) kinda sucks, and (b) leaves out the funniest line in the song:

After being the patsy for not one, but two residential fires, another chill dude in an Arby's uniform (ostensibly he works at Arby's, but I have my doubts) belligerently and insultingly tells me not to smoke on the porch despite a.) I haven't even come within 10 feet of the front door b.) it's raining cats and dogs and finally c.) the above mentioned product of toxic leadership culture smoked a couple blunts everyday for a month ensconced in an indoor spare room with the smoke detector disengaged for a month after the second fire, the blame for the fire, of course, being laid at my feet.
