It’s all about the beat, the beat, the beat, someone once noted of rock ‘n roll. Others say it all starts with a song.
The truth of those statements shall likely be revealed Monday, as the Songwriters Hall of Fame will celebrate this year’s Oscar -nominated songwriters with an all-star virtual event, “A Conversation with 2023 Oscar-Nominated Songwriters for Best Original Song,” to be presented on February 13 at 9 AM Pacific time.
