@Bix Watched the documentary from 2020 on Paramount Plus.

Interesting that successful bands often follow the same arc. They get help from someone who buys in and drives them to success. Decide they've outgrown that person as the vultures whisper in their ear. The downfall begins as jealousy sets in among members. (They express regret in hindsight interviews.)

Truly rare for bands to last after gaining success.

@Bix Another common theme of successful bands is an early upgrade of the drummer transforming the band's perceived style. *

* I just clicked to why that may have been included in That Thing You Do. Drummer largely responsible for success yet the frontmen think they are the only reason.
