LIKE A ROLLING STONE: THE LIFE & TIMES OF BEN FONG-TORRES
Monday, November 1, 2021 at 5:45 pm
FREE for Pac Arts members with a membership card.
The most illustrious byline in 1970s rock and roll journalism was that of Ben Fong-Torres, an interviewer with unrivaled access and an ambiguously Chinese last name. Suzanne Joe Kai’s documentary sheds light on his greatest hits—the intimate moments with Elton John, Marvin Gaye, and others—as well as his basement tapes: the backstory of a Chinatown kid who helped build music’s most influential magazine.
