Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Bruce Ferber Writer, TV Producer & Author, “I Buried Paul” About Harvey's guest: Today's special guest, Bruce Ferber, back on our show, is one of the most gifted and interesting guests I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing.     He spent 2 decades as a HUGELY SUCCESSFUL television comedy writer and producer, on TV shows including Bosom Buddies, Growing Pains, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Coach, and especially Home Improvement, where he served as Executive Producer and showrunner.  He's earned multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, as well as People's Choice, Kid's Choice and Environmental Media Awards.    But several years ago, he switched gears, and discovered that writing books was an even more gratifying endeavour.   When he last appeared on our show, we talked about his fascinating book entitled “The Way we Work: On the Job in Hollywood”, which is a collection of essays from award-winning screenwriters, directors, producers, and people behind the scenes, giving us an eye-opening look at what really goes on in the trenches of the film and TV industry.  I said it then, and I'll say it now:  this is one of the most frank and astute books about the realities of show business that has ever been written.   But our guest's true passion is writing fiction.   His first 2 highly acclaimed, award-winning novels, entitled “Elevating Overman” and “Cascade Falls”, were – for me – about figuring out what really matters in life, living life to the fullest, and healing our pain.    His latest novel, entitled, “I Buried Paul”, is a touching and insightful story of a middle-aged musician searching for creative fulfilment, in the context of family, lifelong friends and the enduring power and appeal of the music of the greatest band in history, The Beatles.   In his writing, our guest demonstrates a remarkable ability to convey wisdom and important life lessons in a profound, witty and heartfelt way.   For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ https://www.bruceferber.net/https://www.facebook.com/BruceFerberAuthorhttps://twitter.com/BruuuceFhttps://www.instagram.com/ferberama #BruceFerber   #IBuriedPaul   #harveybrownstoneinterviews

If there was any inclination the Fab Four were down to “expand their minds,” by the time Revolver came around, there was very little second guessing. The sounds are out there, backwards, mystical. And on "Dr. Robert," what might have been a nudge and wink previously is now just a punch in the face: THESE GUYS TAKE DRUGS. Whether it's autobiographical or a character piece though, it's a fantastic mind movie, where the band paint a great picture sonically of the good Doctor, while John's vocal moves to almost Dylan-esque places. On an album wherein the band is really starting to use the studio as an instrument, “Dr. Robert” holds its' own as a great live band performance, especially with John and Paul's fantastic vocals being recorded together. Sonically, this is maybe the song that exemplifies to me the brilliance of the sound of the Revolver album, chiming Epiphone Casinos and Vox Amps, thumping Rickenbacker bass. It's maybe my favorite SOUNDING Beatles album, and this is one of my favorite sounding moments. It's not a major player in the overall arc of the catalog, but it's a good one for sure. Joining us this week is Emmy and Golden Globe nominated screenwriter, producer, and author Bruce Ferber. While his biggest credits include some truly classic sitcoms like Home Improvement, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Bosom Buddies, Coach, and Growing Pains, these days he's turned his pen towards writing award winning novels. His current book is I Buried Paul, a story of a man who plays Paul McCartney in a Beatles Tribute band. It's a self-described love letter to the power of music, and an exploration of the sacrifices its disciples are willing to make in service to its' magic. We chat with Bruce about just what drove him to dive into the world of Beatles Tribute acts, learning to be open to change, the REAL Dr. Robert, and what may be the greatest Beatles Tribute band of all time. Get yourself a copy of I Buried Paul at bruceferber.net, or anywhere you buy good books! P.S. - This was recorded prior to the announcement of the upcoming Revolver box set reissue.

Hollywood is a place where the assets go home each night. Not just the Stars, but the hard-working men and women who make magic happen. Who each play a singular and unique role in telling cinematic stories. Each is a piece of a large puzzle and without each individual piece, the picture never comes together. Sure Hollywood is a business and billions are dollars are always at stake. But without the experience, the craft and the talents of those behind the camera, none of it happens. These are the “gig workers” that writer-producer Bruce Ferber gets to open up in The Way We Work: On The Job in Hollywood. My conversation with Bruce Ferber
