A Star Is Born

Uncle Jerry identifies A Star Is Born (all four versions: 1937, 1954, 1976, 2018) as a thematic parallel for the mentor-mentee relationship in Father Figure, where the mentor is on the downside of their career and the mentee is rising. Angela & Uncle Jerry discuss how the song mirrors the dynamic of a mentor guiding someone into the music or acting business, though they note Taylor is not on the downside of her career.
