The Film Review

of australia, the irreverence of the great gatsby, the shakespearean tragedy of romeo and juliet, the story of elvis as played by tom hanks and... austin butler, austin butler is particularly amazing as presley. a lot of people have said it's all surface, it's all flash — nonsense. it's a film that actually understand the subject, gets under the skin of its subject and does so in a way that is kinetic and vibrant. if you have no interest in elvis at all, you can watch this and go, "wow, that is a whirlwind ride through a rock and roll life!" but if you do know about elvis, and i do — i was obsessed with elvis since being a child — and i was terrified i would sit there and go, no, that's wrong... but the dramatic liberties it takes are perfectlyjustified. i know tom parker wasn't actually arguing about whether they should have snowmen when elvis was actually wearing black leather — it doesn't matter, it works. and i think it has depth, contrary to what many critics have said aboutjust being surface, it isn't and i think if you love elvis, you'll love this, and if you've never been interested

Former Bob Dylan, the Band Tour Manager Tells Stories From the Road


Rolling Stone
Jonathan Taplin Tour-Managed Rock Royalty. Now He’s Telling His Stories
In a new memoir, Taplin recalls what it was like to watch Dylan go electric, George Harrison speed-drive, and Clapton and the Band wrestle with demons and drugs
By
John Scheele*
Jonathan Taplin wasn’t present at the creation, but in rock & roll terms, he came close enough. He witnessed Bob Dylan going electric at the Newport Folk Festival, saw Jimi Hendrix and many others at Monterey Pop, flew into Woodstock while working for the Band, helped coordinate George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh, and was aboard the famous Festival Express, during which the Band, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and others rode a train around Canada, playing concerts along the way.

Jonathan Taplin may not be a household name, but he has been behind the scenes of some of the most influential moments in 20th century American music. As the description of Taplin’s latest book notes, the University of Southern California professor emeritus has made waves in every one of the past several decades: “he was tour manager for Bob Dylan and the Band in the '60s, producer of major films in the '70s, an executive at Merrill Lynch in the '80s, creator of the Internet's first video-on-demand service in the '90s, and a cultural critic and author writing about technology in the new millennium.” Taplin joins Robert Scheer on this week’s installment of “Scheer Intelligence” to discuss his fascinating career as well as his friendships and encounters with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix,  Martin Scorsese, Eric Clapton, and many others, all of which is captured in his new memoir, “The Magic Years: Scenes From a Rock-and-Roll Life.”
