Wow. What a film. What a story. I became so emotionally involved that I had to stop the film, my heart was breaking so deeply. Any artist who's experienced positive audience reaction, who has felt that electric buzz when it all lines up and flows can appreciate what Lips and his best friend/bandmate Robb Reiner still crave as they enter their fifties. These two have never given up, and remain committed to their original vision, forged in their teens. Inspiring, moving, gut wrenching. My friends were right: I completely identified with Anvil.
Our blogging buddy Dennis Perrin as a great review of Anvil up. I have to see this. Also good news: Dennis plans to return to stand-up comedy in NYC. When we learn the details, we'll pass them along here. Meanwhile, his videos are almost always dark and sometimes hilarious.
