“Docs That Rock, Docs That Matter”
We’re just finishing another amazing winter quarter of “Docs That Rock, Docs That Matter,” one of the courses I teach at UCLA.
My guests have been amazing and so generous with their experience and wisdom…Morgan Neville, Andrew Solt, Paul Justman, Steve Binder and Susan Lacy…and we’ve watched so many remarkable films this quarter including “Summer of Soul,” “Twenty Feet From Stardom,” “Imagine,” “Standing In The Shadows Of Motown,” and several of mine, “The Night James Brown Saved Boston,” ‘Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and The Story of SMiLE,” and “The U.S. vs. John Lennon.”
Starting soon…Professor Leaf (as my students call me) returns to the classroom with “The Reel Beatles” and a line-up of guests includes friends and colleagues from Liverpool and London including Peter Asher, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Mark Lewisohn and Peter Jackson.
