Good Measure with Patrick Hicks Patrick Hicks

In this special bonus episode I speak with the writer/director Timothy Scott Bogart whose newest movie "Spinning Gold" is the true story of record executive Neil Bogart, who started Casablanca Records in the 1970s, launching artists like KISS, Donna Summer, Parliament, the Village People and more. Neil was one of the most important record label owners in history... and he was also Tim's dad. In this conversation we discuss what it took to get this movie made and the wild life of his legendary father.
