Singer-songwriter John Mayer and film director and producer Joseph McGinty Nichol (known as McG) have teamed up to buy and renovate a piece of Hollywood history: the legendary movie studio built by Charlie Chaplin.
@thattracysmith talks with Mayer, McG, and Hollywood historian Marc Wanamaker about the Chaplin Studios, its history as a soundstage and recording studio and why it was important to preserve the production facilities' legacy, as a campus for artistic collaborations. https://t.co/d2EVyBCKDA
.@JohnMayer tells @thattracysmith that songwriting is a constant battle, with the thrill of finally coming up with a song and the frustration of watching ideas die on the table.
He points to writing “New Light” at Chaplin Studios as one of the highs, but says the process always starts over the next day. https://t.co/RSNt3NcVLF
