The Songs and Tales of Angry Old Men

The two-part show provides an outline of the background of the struggling young performers before they became angry old men. We hear of their influences, character traits and settings of the songs.

Apart from Dylan and Willie, the angry old men of the title include Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and John Mellencamp.

Great songs from great songwriters are interwoven with tales revealing surprising and unknown stories behind the music. Sound like baby boomer heaven? Superbly crafted songs not only define the era in which they were composed, but are timeless.

Visual projections, animations, photos, and quotes honouring the work of these artistic titans complement the artistry of these great songs. Nothing wrong with reopening your back pages.
