Spinal Tap For Real

Let me recommend the documentary Anvil!: The Story Of Anvil. (Sounds like "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight.") It's the story of this superannuated Canadian heavy metal band that seemed like they might break big 25 years ago who continue to soldier on, always on the edge of breaking up.

I'd never heard of them before, but their music sounded as good to me as that of any other 80s speed metal band (not that I'm the guy to ask about anything metal). Top bands of that era like Megadeth were ridiculously huge, so I don't see why Anvil couldn't break.

You have to hope with the new attention their getting, they can finally have their happy ending.
