Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Survivor
'Paper Paradise' charts the extraordinary life and times of Glenn Wheatley, from working class boy to rock star in the 1960s and 1970s as a member of one of Australia's most successful early bands, the Masters Apprentices, now immortalised in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. In their heyday the Masters drew bigger crowds than The Beatles in Australia.
In the 1980s he soared from rock star to star manager, FM radio pioneer, record company mogul and millionaire entrepreneur with all the trappings. The mastermind behind John Farnham's Whispering Jack comeback, Wheatley was hailed in the BRW's Top 200 as "one of the most powerful people in the music industry" - until 1989, when he lost it all.
After living hand-to-mouth for six long years, Wheatley is back on top, promoting sellout concerts, and determined to stay there. After a meteoric rise to life in the last lane and an equally spectacular fall, he is the ultimate rock 'n' roll survivor.
