Part 2 of our talk about D Tour (2009), George interviews drummer Pat Spurgeon the subject of the documentary. We learn about Pat's early life as a musician moving from Bloomington to the Bay Area, waiting for organ transplants, and dealing with the medical system while touring in Rogue Wave. This leads to situations like Pat having to perform portable dialysis in the back of a van or the green room of a club. Though it has the shape of a music documentary, it's about dealing with healthcare, mortality, and human generosity.
*Pat and director Jim Granato have a screening in San Francisco tonight (Monday June 5th) at the Alamo Drafthouse in the Mission. 7 pm show with a live set by Rogue Wave after the Q&A. https://drafthouse.com/show/music-monday-d-tour-with-live-performance-by-rogue-wave
