This week, we talked to UK journalist, author & manager Ralph Moore, who chose the documentary about Amy Winehouse, AMY, to discuss. We talk about the line you have to walk managing artists, Amy’s parent’s new documentary Reclaiming Amy, The Frank album, Mark Ronson, the Coventry Music scene, how the film is one of the best representations of what it is like to be hounded by the paparazzi and what has changed with the UK press since Amy’s life, how they acquired the footage in the film, seeing Amy Winehouse live, how the film is like a home movie where Amy is looking you in the eyes, how the film does not romanticize Amy’s life or her addictions, the trials of being a public figure, aligning the morals of the artist with the art, Radiohead, the pressures of being a true icon, the early adopters of Nirvana and Oasis, seeing a band you love on the cusp of breaking through, the UK music press and how it has changed over the years, can you manage an artist and still be a friend, art and commerce, Amy and Tony Bennett’s moment together in the film and so much more.
So join us on this week's Revolutions Per Movie as we discuss one of the most personal looks at an artist ever made.
