In 1978 – the year he joined Elvis Costello in The Attractions
– bassist Bruce Thomas was personally selected by Paul McCartney to
participate in the Rockestra – an all-star ensemble assembled for a
pair of Back To The Egg tracks. The collective gathered
onstage a year later as part of Wings’ finale at the Kampuchea
benefit. But Bruce Thomas is more than an inventive bass player:
he’s a veteran musician (with roots in Britain’s 60s Blues Boom) as
well as an acclaimed author of fiction and non-fiction both. His
newest project – a collaboration with Spencer Brown – includes a
Beatles cover.
Hosted by award-winning author Robert Rodriguez, Something About The Beatles is an intelligent but entertaining examination of The Beatles' music and career. Smart, funny and surprising - just like the Fab Four.
