******** What you may learn form watching this film ********
1. Music Promoters are all assholes & out for themselves.

3. Scott McGinnis did get out of the closet after Lt. Uhura locked him in during Star Trek / The Search for Spock.
4. Good girls fathers are all town drunks.
5. Ice Cream makes a girls Boobies grow bigger.
6. Heavy Metal was the choice music in Arizona in the 80's.
7. Golan/Globus made other films besides Missing in Action.
8. Never play at Buffalo Bills night club. He'll try to screw you every time when it comes time to pay you...
******** Personal Commentary ********
Now I know I'm most likely going to be bias to this film. This is my favorite film of all time. During my years as a musician I seen many films that showed the life of a musician but rarely found one that was somewhat accurate about the whole industry.
This film does just that.. It's that damn good... The acting can be better but the story is deep. I really can't trash this film. It has some sentimentality with me.
It defiantly is a keeper & wish to God they would release it on DVD soon... I own it on video and it's an original copy. It makes me feel all fuzzy inside... hehehe...
Anywho.... I give this film..... 10 moooss.... If you can rent it.. watch it... trust me on this one...
That's my story & I'm sticking to it...
