A Film Review by Steven Rask
Success is often measured on different levels. However it may be measured, true success is a result of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In 1974, a band of ordinary guys with extraordinary talent had just been signed to a record deal. They needed to replace their current drummer who was diagnosed with diabetes, because touring would have killed him. They found that drummer, and embarked on a career that most thought was doomed after their second album. 25 platinum albums, countless awards, and thousands of shows later, that band is still going, and this week released a film documenting a story of their success as the result of longevity, persistence, and uncompromising determination.
