Now, before going further, for those of you unfamiliar with it, I heartily recommend the excellent Dream Deceivers: The Story Behind James Vance vs. Judas Priest documentary (alternate title: Dream Deceivers: How Drugs and an Overbearing Religious Mother Can Cause You to Live Out the Rest of Your Miserable Life with a Fried Egg and/or Melted Kraft Single Slice Draped over the Chasm in What's Left of the Forehead on Your Deformed Face).
The documentary, about Priest's subliminal message trial, includes some footage of local youths speaking about the trial and on growing up in dysfunctional households or with less-than-optimal lifestyles. While this stuff is ultimately just a marginal part of the documentary, early on we see a fellow who races over for a Halford photo op and sings "Better By You, Better Than Me" badly in his car, and he gets a fair share of attention--one Erich Granzen. So what happens after you've been in a group home and recited some of the lyrics to "Suicidal Failure" on public television? Let's find out.
He seems happy with his lot in life. More power to him.
