On Wednesdays, typically I post an article about the artist or band I'm highlighting for the week. This one is a bit different, as I want to draw attention to the in-progress documentary being made about Ronald Koal called
Destination Zero - The Fast Short Life Of Ronald Koal. Here's a bit of info:
Ronald was genuinely talented and never really got where he wanted to be. Most people that watched his progress seemed to just assume there was going to be a time when he got his big break. It just never happened. He sacrificed so much in the name of achieving his goals.
Ronald's progress was dictated to some degree by the times he lived in and the challenges that those times presented almost all musicians. The film is as much about those other musicians as it is about Ronald.
The documentary offers a wide overview of the time and the challenges Ronald faced. While those that knew or knew of Ronald help explain what was so special about him, The music industry pros witnessed first hand the huge changes in the industry and the "how and the why" that determined who got picked and others didn't. The film explores the reality of what happens when you do "make it."
