See Hear Podcast Episode 74 - Interview with Boaz Goldberg about "Tomorrow's Gone"

There have been many 50s music stylists who pay tribute to Elvis and other icons of the rock and roll era but appear locked in a retro time warp. Then there are musicians like Charlie Megira who are consumed by the music alone – they’re doing something new and exciting based on the foundations of 50s rock and roll.
Welcome to episode 74 of See Hear Podcast.
Tim was absent, but Bernie and I spoke with first time director Boaz Goldberg about his 2019 documentary Tomorrow’s Gone. The film serves as both a chronology and a character piece on Israeli guitarist and singer Charlie Megira aka Gabi Abudraham. He started recording music in the mid 90s with music that was drenched in the likes of Santo & Johnny, Duane Eddy, Dick Dale and Sun era Elvis. Boaz met Charlie early on and was convinced he needed to document the music and thoughts of his friend. Charlie’s personal and professional life went in directions neither would have guessed. Sadly, the demons he was wrestling for much of his life got the better of him.
Tomorrow’s Gone serves as a beautiful tribute to a talented musician. We speak about Charlie, the music he loved, his spiritual leanings, the Israeli music industry of the day.....and headless Elvis statuettes. Bernie and I are extremely grateful that Boaz took the time to speak and would urge you to look out for the film on a streaming service or film festival. The story doesn’t have thousands of talking heads talking of Charlie’s importance – he has the music to do that.

See Hear Podcast Episode 73 - The Kids Are Alright
The gents at See Hear Podcast want to pose some questions.
- Do you mind other guys dancing with your girl?
- Can we buy your magic bus?
- Have you ever seen pictures of Lily?
- Can you hear us?
- Who are you?
Deep philosophical questions indeed. The Who were that type of band – funny, furious and filosophical.....
Welcome to episode 73 of See Hear Podcast.
Tim, Bernie and Maurice welcome back Marvellous Mike White of The Projection Booth Podcast to discuss the 1979 Who “documentary” The Kids Are Alright” (not to be confused with the 2010 film with Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo). Jeff Stein's film is certainly not a documentary in the traditional sense (no chronology, no talking heads retrospectively outlining the history). It IS a celebration of who The Who were up to Keith Moon's death. It shows their ferociousness and humour as a band....so in that sense, even if we discover little about the events that shaped them, by film's end, we know what made them great.
The crew discuss the film, their own connections to The Who's music, sensationalism versus art, Pete's penchant for beating up people on stage, Keith's habit of destroying hotel rooms, and many other Who-vian peripherals.
Is the show worth tuning into? You better, you bet......

See Hear Podcast Episode 75 - Outlaw Blues
A musician is let out of prison. He goes with his partner on a mission to right a wrong. Together they're chased by the police and a pissed of country singer, while causing the destruction of countless vehicles along the way......
....and their names aren't Jake and Elwood.
Welcome to episode 75 of See Hear Podcast.
Bernie, Tim and I park the Kingswood at the drive-in to watch Outlaw Blues, a forgotten American film of the 70s. Peter Fonda and Susan Saint James set out on a mission to et revenge on a famous country singer who steals Fonda's song and makes himself a packet. A fight ensues, said country singer is shot in the foot, and Fonda becomes a man on the run.
We spend time yakking about the film's merits, some other big Highwaymen who dabbled their toes in the cinematic waters, two of John Carradine's sons, and how it holds up against other films about songwriters and the counter-culture. Most importantly, is this film a good way to spend 90 minutes?
