In Rock And Roll’s Greatest Failure: Otway The Movie sees UK’s cult legend John Otway return to his old school to give a course on survival in the music industry.
In the midst of Britain’s 1970s punk revolution and after a momentous TV appearance where five and a half million viewers watched him land painfully on his testicles, Otway was high in the charts. His next hit was to come 25 years later.
John Otway’s career is an educational, yet magical, lesson in self-promoting. Recruiting his fans for endless manipulative, over-the-top projects which, among others, garnered him status as The Nation’s 7th Favourite Lyricist in a BBC poll, secured him a Top Ten hit for his 50th birthday and a feature movie for his 60th.
Failure has its rewards. It’s kept Otway in the spotlight for 35 years.
OTWAY THE MOVIE was financed by fans and was deemed unanimously to be a triumph and received a four star review from the Guardian and it was voted the Second Best Movie of 2013, after GRAVITY.Â
