The era of so-called "Yacht Rock" is in the sweet spot of my music listening in my high school and college years, so I was of course interested in this documentary. After about a half hour, I realized I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, because I'm not a big Yacht Rock fan! Never was a big fan of Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, etc. So when they are talking about their work, often as high art, it's hard for me to really appreciate that. As someone who loves seeing these historical pieces about music in the 60's, 70's and 80's, I'm glad I saw it, and definitely learned some new things. But make sure you can at least tolerate the music being highlighted in this documentary. Otherwise, it's going to be a tough slog. Miscellaneous factoid: Michael McDonald must be a very nice guy. Every artist who worked with him seemed to only have nice things to say about him.
