"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favorite singers from his to solo work to Bad English to the woefully under appreciated 70s band The Babys. I saw him at Burbank Airport once in the early 80s after The Babys but before his big solo hits looking like a tiny but badass rock star and being completely left alone. It was kind of surreal at the time. This doc shows him to be a humble but slightly broken guy who got shamefully shafted by the industry. Of course I would enjoy it though do wish it was a lot less about covid (during which it was filmed). For that reason and that I was left a little sad and wanting more I wasn’t quite as satisfied as I was expecting to be with this film. Will always love him though. "
