We also see ex-Doobie Brother Michael McDonald, who says, “Being a Doobie Brother represents some of the best years of my life,” and get a quick look at Doobies frontman Tom Johnston holding up his statue.
Starr is seen paying tribute to T. Rex, while noting, “They called it glam rock, but it was always just great music to me.”
Springsteen and Browne, meanwhile, both are shown talking about Landau. The Boss shares, “My first thought was, ‘Who does this guy think he is!'” while Brown says Landau “brought me to a complete other level.”
