'RUST NEVER SLEEPS' w/ TOM SCHARPLING (THE 100TH EPISODE CELEBRATION)

Welcome to my 100th episode of Revolutions Per Movie (and that's really 181 episodes counting the exclusive Patreon episodes )! So to properly celebrate gloriously, we are joined by one of the greats, Tom Scharpling (host of The Best Show , co-host of Double Threat , and writer for What We Do In The Shadows & Monk ) who brings us his favorite music film of all time by his all-time favorite artist, Neil Young ’s Rust Never Sleeps ! We discuss Tom’s 25 years of doing The Best Show, Tom’s introduction to Neil Young and how I discovered the deep catalog of Neil though Tom's show, Neil Young's ditch trilogy, how live records are often not truly live documents, King Crimson , how Neil shifts genres constantly and fearlessly, how the people around Neil initially didn’t understand Crazy Horse , concert fans who only want to hear the hits, Sonic Youth opening for Neil Young, Devo 's influence on Rust Never Sleeps , how Neil Young is one of the most prolific filmmakers of all time, the films Human Highway & Harvest Time , Neil's sense of humor, how Star Wars influenced the Road-Eyes (roadies), the symbolism of Neil cutting his hair for this tour, how the film takes its time with long shots and hazy cinematography, how Neil came into the CSN fold and how they came to regret it, the album Trans, Neil’s Geffen & Reprise Record years, the video store music collection, when artists play unreleased music on tour, the power of the song 'Powderfinger', Neil and his relationship to Grunge, Tom seeing Neil Young live at the Roxy, the Robert Pollard /Neil Young parallels, letting an artist go where they need to go and more! So let's put on our 3-D glasses and watch Neil Young rust before our very eyes on the 100th & 181st episode of Revolutions Per Movie !
