Before you could download or stream music, there were record stores. And in California none was bigger than Tower Records. The chain -- with its big red and yellow signs -- was born in Sacramento in 1960 and peaked in 1999 with sales of $1 billion. Just five years later, Tower declared bankruptcy. The new documentary "All Things Must Pass" looks back on the rise and fall of Tower Records. We ask director Colin Hanks about the heart and soul of the film, the guy who started selling records in the back of his dad's drug store: Russ Solomon.
