In the 1980s we got our MTV but seemed to have lost much of the musical film in the process. But the genre is resilient. A handful of masterpieces along with a few cult classics emerged from this decade. In the 1990s the Hollywood musical was largely animated, rather than live action. However, television had a surprising number of musical offerings, including “Gypsy” with Bette Midler and “Annie” which launched director Rob Marshall. In the 2000s musicals came back starting with “Moulin Rouge” and carrying on with “Chicago,” “Dreamgirls” and “Hairspray.” There are movies based on Broadway triumphs and once again there are teens singing and dancing.

Back in 1986, my team filmed a local heavy-metal hard-core band in Belfast Maine called Hatred (later they became the band Weapons). The band members were wonderfully articulate teenagers heavily influenced by Metallica, Motley Crue, Black Flag, Slayer, Exodus and others. They had dropped out of school and were competing in a battle of the bands competition. I didn't understand Heavy Metal at the time but I found these young men expressive – good folk. Some time ago I posted an interview with lead singer head banger Eddie and his mom debating whether or not this music was the music of Satan. The interview is very popular with my YouTube audience and so I have posted this video to further tell their story and give a sense of their experience with the music and the local people in Maine who had come to hear their band and others.
