Episode 504: Episode 504 - Top Ten Music Documentaries Part 1 w/Maurice Bursztynski

The world of music documentaries is one filled with riches. Other than simply listening to it, there's no better way to absorb the power and importance of music and its ability to change the world. There's a reason why Decline Of Western Civilization, Penelope Spheeris' anthropologic look at the underground hardcore punk scene in late 70s/early 80s LA, was selected by the Library Of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". That film is much more than images of angry-looking white dudes spitting on each other. It takes the viewer to a specific place and time, and shows how music can move people in strange and fascinating ways. There are dozens of great music documentaries that tell strange and fascinating stories and ATTT is lucky to have Sir Maurice Bursztynski, co-host of the music film podcast See Hear on board to discuss 10 of our favorites. This conversation went on for so long that we had to break it up into two parts, so enjoy part 1 and come on back next week for the conclusion to Top Ten Music Documentaries.
