Meat Loaf "Almost Paradise" Movie Review

When I was a kid I wanted to be a rock star. Not necessarily a rock musician but a rock star. I'm sure we all did. The glamour of being on stage, being waited on hand and foot, but best of all, and be honest: the money. Big houses, dozens of cars, gold records lining the walls, groupies, etc. Ah yeah, the American Dream. None of us ever really gave a second thought to the rest of the rock and roll life and what it really entails. Even now I love documentaries and biographies of rock musicians, bands, actors, etc. There are a handful of books and documentary movies out there on the subject that would really blow your mind if you gave yourself a chance to indulge in them. Meat Loaf's documentary film "Almost Paradise," (now available on DVD) is one of them. Forget the glamour of the road and touring. This movie will blow that illusion right out of the water. It's not all fun and games kids.
