What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?

An amazing film, not just the usual famous band documentary. It is sad to realize that we lost many years of more great music due to a scandal initiated by our own government, and then by the narcissistic leaders of the 1970s counterculture. There was no good way out for this band, but they made the best they could, and meanwhile, left us a great legacy of music that we still love and joy to this day. In an age of idealism that celebrated communism and socialism, they documented the awful realities inside the countries they visited and performed for. Not unlike today, because it didn't fit the popular narrative, the band was ostracized, both by the counterculture they still represented, as well as the state department and president because their political views were very different. The result? We all lost a very great band prematurely, and the idiots on both sides that made this happen deserve our full derision. It was fun to watch and very entertaining and taught you a lot about these great musicians, and also satisfying to see the truth rain down upon those who deceived us about the truth.
