Tim Rogers Takes 5 with "a living"

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 – IceJake Thackray – The BullJoni Mitchell – Just Like This TrainNRBQ – I Want You Bad Martha Wainwright & Linda Thompson – Or Nothing At All00:39 Tim Rogers introduction 01:30 Memories of watching Magic Dirt on Rage 04:21 Magic Dirt — 'Ice'07:45 Making a living as an artist & mowing lawns10:31 Jake Thackray explainer15:00 Jake Thackray— 'The Bull’21:41 Tim’s later in life love of Joni Mitchell26:07 Joni Mitchell — 'Just Like This Train'32:08 Rewriting and revisiting your own songs33:55 NRBQ explainer & Tim’s obsession36:27 NRBQ — 'I Want You Bad'39:05 You Am I ‘Hourly Daily’ anniversary and going pop46:30 Linda Thompson explainer & inspiring songwriting53:41 Martha Wainwright & Linda Thompson  — 'Or Nothing At All'55:20 Conclusion + next week's guest!Show NotesTo see Tim perform live, check out his tour dates here: https://tim-rogers.com.au/
