Lee Aronsohn was attending the University of Colorado “looking to major in sex and drugs.” Little did the future sitcom writer/producer realize that he was planting the seeds that, four decades later, would flower into this fond endeavor to recapture fleeting youth. A local band, going by the name of Magic Music, took up permanent residence in Aronsohn’s headspace, and with no tangible memories to guide him — the group never released an album — he set about reuniting the band’s original members for one last waltz. When asked if The Beatles would ever get back together, Paul McCartney famously replied, “You can’t reheat a souffle.” If 40 Years is any indication, Sir Paul was wrong. Having never seen an episode of Two and a Half Men or The Big Bang Theory, I can still say it’s good they exist, if for no other reason than the proceeds from those hit TV series afforded Aronsohn the opportunity to direct this heartfelt music documentary.
