Michael and Us: Kung Fu Bicycles
Manage episode 409123785 series 3298585
For decades, a cottage industry flourished in the subterranean depths of the American music industry: send a company your poem, and, for a fee, they'll turn it into a song. Maybe the song will even be your entryway into the industry and the Billboard charts! But most assuredly it will not be. Was this industry exploitative? Did it produce art? What even is "art" anyway? We tackle all these questions and more as we discuss the documentary OFF THE CHARTS: THE SONG-POEM STORY (2003).
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
