Lou Taylor Pucci & Jim Kohlberg Reveal Why THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED

When I spoke with director Jim Kohlberg and actor Lou Taylor Pucci about THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED on March 2,

2011, it was hard to know where to start. The film, based on an essay by Oliver Sacks about a man who lost his short-term memory, but not his love for music, raises many questions about what contitutes a person’s identity, as well as the bond between father and son that can be stretched, but not broken. Lively and thoughtful, the pair held forth on the magic of music, how Bob Dylan saw to it that the film was able to use works by The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, and Dylan himself, as well as why being in the film gave Pucci insight into his musician father than he’d never had before.
