Tim Rogers Takes 5 with "a living"
Notas do episódio
Where do you begin with Tim Rogers? For more than 30 years he has been the soundtrack to our lives. As frontman for You Am I, an acclaimed solo artist and keen collaborator, an actor, author and once even a Double J broadcaster.
He's made a living in more ways than one, and his approach to living has shifted over the years. A long time coming, I invited Tim to Take 5 and explore this idea of a living; what makes a good life, and what it means to be alive.
And he didn't disappoint.
Tim Rogers' song choices:
- Magic Dirt – Ice
- Jake Thackray – The Bull
- Joni Mitchell – Just Like This Train
- NRBQ – I Want You Bad
- Martha Wainwright & Linda Thompson – Or Nothing At All
