Today's episode is deeply personal. I'm honored to introduce my oldest son, Mike Nicholson, known as Digital Tapestry. At 16, Mike was in a near-fatal car crash. That accident changed everything. He walked away with a halo on his head, but the dream was put on hold. What could have broken him instead ignited something powerful. Mike turned to music and fitness as healing tools, writing songs that come from the most honest, vulnerable places. His journey from trauma to transformation is inspiring. Today, Mike is a finalist in America's Top Hitmaker competition. He's one step away from performing on the same stage as Post Malone, being featured in Rolling Stone, and winning $50,000. This isn't just a story about music; it's about resilience, redemption, and the dream that refused to die.

Robin Green is an American writer who has been dizzyingly successful, but she describes herself as a 'clueless girl'. At times, she didn't even realise she could actually write. In the early 1970s when Robin was in her 20s, she had an interview with Rolling Stone magazine's creator and editor Jann Wenner. She initially thought it was for a secretarial role, but instead, he hired her as a writer - and the only woman on the editorial masthead. What followed were Robin's raucous, wild, rock 'n' roll years. She interviewed the likes of David Cassidy, Dennis Hopper and Bobby Kennedy Jr, who she recalls sleeping with on his dorm-room water-bed. After failing to produce a story on him, her time at Rolling Stone ended and Robin began to question her future. It was then that she met the love of her life, an aspiring writer called Mitch. But their relationship fell apart and she spent a decade going from one thing to another.Nearing 40, Robin had an epiphany while watching daytime television and her career as a writer took a dramatic turn. She picked up her pen, and with Mitch, they began writing for the TV show Northern Exposure. They became extraordinarily successful writing partners, winning multiple Emmys, including for their work on The Sopranos - where, once again, Robin was the only woman in the room for most of her time there. When Robin was almost 60, Mitch proposed and now married, they created their own hit show - Blue Bloods.Robin has written a memoir, The Only Girl: My Life and Times on the Masthead of Rolling Stone.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Sarah KendalLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story.

“Live From New York, it's Saturday Night!” That single sentence has become a catchphrase for devotees of comedy and popular culture over the past 50 years—generations of fans who willingly turn their attentions from the height of weekend revelry to the televised antics of Saturday Night Live. Week in, week out for more than two decades, a single photographer has conjured visual magic behind the scenes, creating inventive and irreverent portraits that air for three seconds each as so-called “bumpers” that transition to and from the show's commercial breaks. In this week's podcast, SNL's photographer in residence Mary Ellen Matthews regales us with details about what's undoubtedly the world's best photo gig—a position she's held for 25 years. From the fateful phone call she got in 1993, inviting her to assist the show's founding photographer, Mary Ellen offers candid insights into her journey from mentee to team leader. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on the creation of some iconic images and learn what it takes to be “in the driver's seat [with] a whole busload of very important people to take care of.” “My job is to make this easy and fast,” she notes. “And I don't want anyone to be overthinking anything because they've got enough to worry about with all the sketches and all the pre-tapes and their responsibilities to the rest of the show, which is the most important thing.” Guest: Mary Ellen Matthews   Episode Timeline: 2:58: Living the dream as SNL's resident photographer while being creative under stressful deadline pressure. 4:50: Mary Ellen's early immersion in photography, at the side of her hobbyist father. 7:02: Arriving in NYC, early work for a record label, and the call to assist SNL's founding photographer in residence, Edie Baskin. 12:02: SNL's transition from film to digital, plus the cameras Mary Ellen shoots with today. 15:46: Conceptualizing the weekly portrait shoots and collaborating with subjects. 20:16: Behind-the-scenes of a dicey photo shoot, plus SNL's weekly production timeline. 27:35: Episode Break 28:22: Beyond portraits, the images Mary Ellen shoots as props for SNL sketches—sometimes with a 4x5. 33:20: The scheduling of SNL portrait shoots and getting portrait subjects to have fun. 36:44: Testing for shoots, the atmosphere on-set, and flying by the seat of your pants. 40:15: Communicating with a celebrity's team to get everyone on the same page about shoots and concepts. 42:40: The general workflow of SNL portrait sessions: from shoot preparation to editing and post-production. 45:17: Advice for emerging photographers looking for work or applying for an internship.   Guest Bio: As a top entertainment portrait photographer, Mary Ellen Matthews is specialized in creating iconic images of well-known personalities—from pop stars to sports legends to rock gods. Since 1999, she has been photographer in residence at Saturday Night Live, where she's responsible for creating the distinctive look of the show's still images. Through her exuberant presence that puts subjects at ease, her creative and playful styling on set and intensive fine-tuning in post, Matthews produces unique and recognizable portraits under the manic deadlines of live TV. What's more, in 2010, she began directing SNL's video clips, including the show's opening title sequence. Recent clients include Peacock, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Studios, and Prime Video, as well as publications such as Variety, Rolling Stone, Marie Claire, and the Spanish edition of Harper's Bazaar. Most notably, in March 2025, Matthews's first book, The Art of the SNL Portrait, was released to mark the 50th anniversary of this revolution in late night TV.    Stay Connected: Instagram: Saturday Night Live Instagram: Saturday Night Live on YouTube: -------- Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

President Trump is in a rage over his inability to get MAGA to stop talking about the Jeffrey Epstein files. He unleashed a furious Truth Social tirade on it, and then rambled bizarrely about it to reporters for a minute straight. Meanwhile, striking new polls from Quinnipiac and from CNN show wide public dissatisfaction with the whole fiasco—and both show large chunks of Republicans are also unhappy about it, suggesting his shutdown efforts aren't working. Rolling Stone writer Asawin Suebsaeng has a new piece entitled: “Inside Trump's Frantic, Failing Mission to Crush the Epstein ‘MAGA Rebellion.'” It details how efforts by Trump and his lieutenants to get this under control involve all kinds of fraught and complicated intrigues inside the Court of MAGA. So we talked to Suebsaeng about what's really going on here, why it's failing, what's coming next, and how the whole thing reveals Trump's level of contempt for his own voters with uncommon clarity.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Do you ever read reviews for movies, TV shows, books, or music? In the past, we used to pay attention to what the reviewers had to say. Nobody went to the movies without hearing what Siskel and Ebert thought. We had to know whether a film received a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Anyone who loved rock music always had to check out the reviews in Rolling Stone. People even wanted to know what their local critic said in the newspaper about the latest TV shows, movies, and theater productions. However, I can't recall the last time I read a review to determine whether I would consume some type of media. I know I'm not the only one...

On this edition of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel explores his fascination with groups and "cults," drawing on personal experiences with movements like Amway and the AME church. A significant segment highlights the music industry, particularly Jerry Wexler's legacy, his coining of "Rhythm and Blues," and work with Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones. Lionel voices profound concern about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), deeming it an "existential threat" and discussing "nullifyingapps". He encourages questioning official narratives, citing inconsistencies in Anthony Bourdain's death and linking it to other suspicious "suicides". The show explores the nature of addiction as brain chemistry, with insights on painkiller and gambling recovery. Diverse discussions include experiences with door-to-door sales (Fuller Brush, Mary Kay), the unique origins of Detroit-style pizza, and the value of old media like 8-track tapes. Lionel's "logophile" love for words and his past stuttering are also discussed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Love is mysterious, and the death of love even more so: it's complicated, sticky, and heart breaking. When there are children impacted, as was the case with Marvin and Anna Gaye, and Richard and Linda Thompson, the emotional brutality can resonate for generations. Is it worthy compensation if the anguish produces great art? Life is short - Art is long, and isn't that what every artist hopes for, that their art will endure beyond the grave? Who can weigh that balance?Today's cuts illuminate couples in crisis: In the case of the Thompsons, they were dissolving a recording and performing team; in Marvin's, he was being ousted by the sister of the man who gave him his break. Neither scenario is pretty, but the resultant music remains divine.HERE MY DEAR / MARVIN GAYEAnna Gordy Gaye wanted a million dollars as a divorce settlement from Marvin. She took out a warrant for his arrest for failing to pay alimony, and put a restraining order on him. Check. So, a deal was struck: in exchange for $600K (1/2 in advance; half to be taken out of royalties), Marvin would produce a new album to get her paid. Check mate.Initially intending to make a quick knock off, Marvin became fascinated with the project, devoting himself to making it a passionate sacrifice, detailing the death of love. It was a critical and commercial failure upon its release, but has since been reconsidered, and is now thought of as one of his finest achievements. The title cut that introduces the album disturbingly cuts off in mid-phrase - a distinctly telling gesture.WALL OF DEATH / RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSONLinda was pregnant with Richard's third child when producer Joe Boyd got them into the studio to record the album “Shoot Out the Lights” - a record which Rolling Stone designated as #9 on its list of the “Best Albums of the 1980s”.  They were supposed to tour immediately after to promote the record, but unfortunately, this had to be delayed to allow Linda to give birth. In the interim, Richard, who had fallen in love with another woman, dropped the bad news on her as they set out on tour.After being together for 10 years, and Linda converting to Sufi Islam for Richard, renouncing worldly pleasures, she was now trapped inside a loveless, commercial obligation, ironically, to promote their finest collaboration.Wall of Death, which closes the album, depicts love as a dangerous carnival ride in which you take your chances at calamity, but still want to go back to ride, again and again.  

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Barely a week has passed since Justin Bieber reentered the public eye with one of his most significant career moves in years, the surprise release of his seventh studio album, Swag, on July 11. The album, loaded with 21 tracks and featuring names like Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, and gospel great Marvin Winans, has sparked headlines for its vulnerability and raw introspection, with Bieber openly exploring fatherhood, mental health, and the immense pressures of fame. Notably, on the track Therapy Session, the singer lays bare his struggles, an emotional honesty that's carried over into his social media, where he's admitted to feeling both unworthy and broken at times. This era marks his first full-length project in more than four years and his first since gaining full creative control after his high-profile split from longtime manager Scooter Braun, a move Rolling Stone reported Bieber has no regrets about. People magazine detailed how wife Hailey Bieber not only supported Justin throughout the process but also gave him the confidence to trust his artistic instincts and create the album he'd always wanted.Bieber and Hailey have taken Europe by storm this week, sharing intimate snapshots with fans on Instagram, including adorable photos of their son, Jack, ahead of his first birthday next month. Their family getaway dovetailed with Hailey's own business milestone—a Rhode skincare pop-up in Mallorca. According to People, Justin was there to support her, returning the encouragement she's given him through his creative rebirth.The news cycle also saw Justin and Scooter Braun settle their tour dispute, with reports from IQ Magazine that Bieber agreed to pay his former manager over 30 million dollars relating to the canceled Justice World Tour. Speculation of a new tour following the release of Swag has bubbled up in outlets like Los40 and Extra Chill, thanks to prominent album billboards and the artist's hints, but nothing official has been announced. Fan rumor about a Coachella 2025 appearance, stoked by Twitter chatter and a viral Reddit thread, remains unsubstantiated as neither Goldenvoice nor Bieber's team have confirmed any booking. Meanwhile, Bieber's past health issues, especially his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and ongoing mental health advocacy, continue to shape the narrative. Bieber has been photographed energetically celebrating the album's release, and there's no shortage of commentary on his social media, where he recently reaffirmed his strong relationship with Hailey despite recurring breakup gossip.Swag's arrival signals not just a comeback, but a return on Bieber's own terms—marked by newfound independence, artistic risk, and a tightly knit family unit that continues to captivate both the music world and the ever-watchful celebrity press.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

It's Tuesday and we are joined by investigative journalist and director of The Undercurrent , Lauren Windsor, to discuss her new piece in Rolling Stone on the Texas state government's war on climate change policy. But first we take a look at Andrew Cuomo's low energy announcement that he is staying in the race as an independent, a very sleepy independent. It turns out that the supreme court green lighting mass federal firings will lead to the Trump administration dismantling the Department of Education. Something conservatives have been clamoring for since reconstruction. In the fun half we look into the great MAGA Saga. The conservative world is fracturing over Trump's refusal to release the Epstein files. House GOP's vote against unsealing the documents, Glenn Beck suggests finding a fall guy, Charlie Kirk trust his friends in the government but the MAGA base as reflected in comments on Trump's Truth Social page are not buying it.

This week we talk about AI therapy chatbots, delusions of grandeur, and sycophancy.We also discuss tech-triggered psychosis, AI partners, and confident nonsense.Recommended Book: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin SloanTranscriptIn the context of artificial intelligence systems, a hallucination or delusion, sometimes more brusquely referred to as AI BS, is an output usually from an AI chatbot, but it can also be from another type of AI system, that's basically just made up.Sometimes this kind of output is just garbled nonsense, as the AI systems, those based on large language models, anyway, are essentially just predicting what words will come next in the sentences they're writing based on statistical patterns. That means they can string words together, and then sentences together, and then paragraphs together in what seems like a logical and reasonable way, and in some cases can even cobble together convincing stories or code or whatever else, because systems with enough raw materials to work from have a good sense of what tends to go where, and thus what's good grammar and what's not, what code will work and what code will break your website, and so on.In other cases, though, AI systems will seem to just make stuff up, but make it up convincingly enough that it can be tricky to detect the made up component of its answers.Some writers have reported asking AI to provide feedback on their stories, for instance, only to later discover that the AI didn't have access to the stories, and they were providing feedback based on the title, or based on the writer's prompt—the text the writer used to ask the AI for feedback. And their answers were perhaps initially convincing enough that the writer didn't realize the AI hadn't read the pieces they asked them to criticize, and the AI systems, because most of them are biased to sycophancy, toward brown-nosing the user and not saying anything that might upset them, or saying what it believes they want to hear, they'll provide general critique that sounds good, that lines up with what their systems tell them should be said in such contexts, but which is completely disconnected from those writings, and thus, not useful to the writer as a critique.That combination of confabulation and sycophancy can be brutal, especially as these AI systems become more powerful and more convincing. They seldom make the basic grammatical and reality-based errors they made even a few years ago, and thus it's easy to believe you're speaking to something that's thinking or at the bare-minimum, that understands what you're trying to get it to help you with, or what you're talking about. It's easy to forget when interacting with such systems that you're engaged not with another human or thinking entity, but with software that mimics the output of such an entity, but which doesn't experience the same cognition experienced by the real-deal thinking creatures it's attempting to emulate.What I'd like to talk about today is another sort of AI-related delusion—one experienced by humans interacting with such systems, not the other way around—and the seeming, and theoretical, pros and cons of these sorts of delusional responses.—Research that's looked into the effects of psychotherapy, including specific approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy, show that such treatments are almost aways positive, with rare exceptions, grant benefits that tend to last well past the therapy itself—so people who go to therapy tend to benefit from it even after the session, and even after they stop going to therapy, if they eventually stop going for whatever reason, and that the success rate, the variability of positive impacts, vary based on the clinical location, the therapist, and so on, but only by about 5% or less for each of those variables; so even a not perfectly aligned therapist or a less than ideal therapy location will, on average, benefit the patient.That general positive impact is part of the theory underpinning the use of AI systems for therapy purposes.Instead of going into a therapist's office and speaking with a human being for an hour or so at a time, the patient instead speaks or types to an AI chatbot that's been optimized for this purpose. So it's been primed to speak like a therapist, to have a bunch of therapy-related resources in its training data, and to provide therapy-related resources to the patient with whom it engages.There are a lot of downsides to this approach, including the fact that AI bots are flawed in so many ways, are not actual humans, and thus can't really connect with patients the way a human therapist might be able to connect with them, they have difficulty shifting from a trained script, as again, these systems are pulling from a corpus of training data and additional documents to which they have access, and that means they'll tend to handle common issues and patient types pretty well, but anything deviating from that is a toss-up, and, as I mentioned in the intro, there's a chance they'll just make stuff up or brown-nose the patient, saying things it seems like the patient wants to hear, rather than the things the patient needs to hear for their mental health.On the upside, though, there's a chance some people who wouldn't feel comfortable working with a human therapist will be more comfortable working with a non-human chatbot, many people don't have physical access to therapists or therapy centers, or don't have insurance that covers what they need in this regard, and some people have other monetary or physical or mental health issues that makes therapy inaccessible or non-ideal for whatever reason, and these systems could help fill in the gaps for them, giving them something imperfect, but, well, 80% of what you need can be a lot better than 0% of what you need. In theory, at least.That general logic is a big part of why the therapy AI bot boom has been so substantial, despite the many instances of human patients seemingly being driven to suicide or other sorts of self-harm after interacting with these bots, which in some cases were later found to either nudge their patients in that direction, or support their decisions to do so. And that's alongside the other issues associated with any app that sends the user's information to a third location for processing, like the collection of their data for marketing and other purposes.The therapy chatbot industry is just one corner of a much larger conversation about what's become known as ChatGPT Psychosis, which is shorthand for the delusions some users of these AI chatbots, those made by ChatGPT and those made by other companies, begin to have while interacting with these bots, or maybe already had, but then have amplified by their interactions with these systems.The stories have been piling up, reported in the Times, in Rolling Stone, and in scientific journals, and the general narrative is that someone who seems to be doing fine, but who's maybe a little depressed or unhappy, a little anxious, but nothing significant, at least to those around them, starts interacting with a chatbot, then gets really, really absorbed in that interaction, and then at some point those around this person realize that their friend or child or spouse or whomever is beginning to have delusions of grandeur, believing themselves to be a prophet or god, or maybe they're starting to see the world as just an intertangled mess of elaborate, unbacked conspiracy theories, or they come to believe the entire world revolves around them in some fundamental way, or everyone is watching and talking about them—that genre of delusion.Many such people end up feeling as if they're living inside nihilistic and solipsistic nightmares, where nothing has meaning and they're perhaps the only entity of any importance on the planet—everyone else is just playing a minor role in their fantastical existence.Different chatbots have different skins, in the sense that their outputs are tailored in different ways, to have a different valence and average personality. Some chatbots, like ChatGPT's GPT-4o, have had their sycophancy setting set so high that it rendered them almost completely useless before it was eventually fixed—early users reported feeling unsettled by their interactions with this bot when it was first released, because it was such a shameless yes-man, they couldn't get any useful information from it, and all the language it used to deliver the information it did provide made them feel like they were being manipulated by a slavish underling.For some people, though, that type of presentation, that many compliments and that much fawning attention, will feel good, or feel right.Maybe they're disempowered throughout their day in countless subtle and overt ways, and having someone—even if that someone isn't real—speak to them like they're important and valuable and smart and attractive and perhaps even the most important person in the world, maybe that feels good.Others maybe feel like they have hidden potential that's never been appreciated, and if the chatbot they're referencing for all sorts of answers about things, and which seems to have most of those answers, and is thus a believable source of good, correct information, starts to talk to them as if they're the messiah, well, maybe they start to believe they are important, are some kind of messiah: after all, it's right about so many other things, so why not this thing? It's something which many of us, to greater or lesser degrees, at least, possibly not always to that extreme, would be psychologically primed to believe, at least on some level, because it feels good to feel important, and so many social narratives, in some cultures at least, make this seem like something that does happen and might someday happen to us.This effect might be even more pronounced in people who have underlying conditions, like depression or anxiety, and even more so those with conditions like schizophrenia that leave a person prone to various sorts of psychosis.Folks with such conditions, diagnosed or not, are already frequently triggered by things like social media, which, because of the way these platforms scoop up data and target content at users, can make folks who look at TikTok and scan their Instagram feed feel like the center of the universe, like they're being watched, like folks they don't know are sending messages to them, or like there's some kind of pattern they need to figure out and which they've caught a glimpse of, and which seems really, really important.This is part of why many experts are saying that if AI chatbots are going to be used therapeutically, they should absolutely be used in a hybrid situation, where there are humans in the loop who are capable of checking to make sure the information being conveyed is accurate and not enflaming psychosis, and so they can ensure medication is being prescribed and used, if appropriate. There needs to be someone who can talk someone down and tell them when their brain is leading them awry, basically, which is not something chatbots are generally capable of doing right now—they're more likely to reinforce a user's incorrect theories and ideas and understandings, which of course can lead to a slew of other issues across all sorts of other industries and fields, as well, including general knowledge about the world and current events.Speaking of the news, though, there are just as many articles, these days, reporting on folks who seem to have found love with AI chatbots as there are people who have committed violent acts against others, or various sorts of self-harm as a result of interacting with them.Some of these pieces are written salaciously—look at these silly people doing silly things—but many do a pretty good job of at least attempting balance, as while the majority of folks featured in these articles seem to be missing something in terms of human interaction, which then presumably put them in the right state of mind to have romantic or companionable feelings toward an unthinking software system, the flip side of that coin is that many of them seem to be happier now than before they met these systems and brought them into their lives in this way.We have, then, on one hand, AI chatbots telling their users to assassinate celebrities and, in at least one case, British Royalty, and on the other, we have sometimes the same chatbots made by the same companies telling people they are worthwhile and loved and appreciated and that's exactly what some of their users need to hear at that moment.It's been argued, often convincingly, that these sorts of AI-human relationships are a crutch, and a massively unstable one. These systems are prone to change as the models behind them and the businesses that make and maintain those models change, and many of the stories about these people who have these relationships end with their AI partner or spouse suddenly losing interest in them, becoming cold, or in some other way no longer providing what they once provided.This can be a bad moment for these people who again, in many cases seemed to be lacking something from the humans in their lives, and these AI systems kind of filled in the gaps for them. That's what a crutch does, wobbly or not.More ideal, according to the folks keeping tabs on these happenings and who are doing research in this space, at least, would be systems that help folks fill these gaps in more holistic and permanent ways, improving their social or physical or psychological situations so that they don't rely on software entities and the potential delusions, positive or negative, that come with them. AI bots and companions would ideally help human beings connect with themselves and with other human beings, with the world outside the software, basically, rather than setting them up to use that crutch the rest of their lives.Right now, though, we're living through an era in which understandings about how these systems work are not widely disseminated, and collective understandings of their impact on our internal and external lives, our interpersonal relationships, and even our broader cultures is not fully understood; that history is being written day to day, right now.It may be that this is a momentary thing, these systems filling the roles in our lives that other humans or groups of humans may have once filled, at least for some of us, but only until regulations and software updates and other sorts of things step in to ensure this no longer happens, for a variety of reasons.Alternatively, it may be that this is just the first step toward a reality in which this sort of thing is more common: these tools further refined to be increasingly wonderful companions, becoming something akin to pets for many of us, something more like partners or spouses for some of us, and either way dramatically changing the nature of human society as a consequence.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucination_(artificial_intelligence)https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11514308/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jul/12/i-felt-pure-unconditional-love-the-people-who-marry-their-ai-chatbotshttps://www.wired.com/story/couples-retreat-with-3-ai-chatbots-and-humans-who-love-them-replika-nomi-chatgpt/https://www.npr.org/2024/07/01/1247296788/the-benefits-and-drawbacks-of-chatbot-relationshipshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/15/she-helps-cheer-me-up-the-people-forming-relationships-with-ai-chatbotshttps://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/ai-therapy-bots-fuel-delusions-and-give-dangerous-advice-stanford-study-finds/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/technology/chatgpt-ai-chatbots-conspiracies.htmlhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/chatgpt-is-giving-people-extreme-spiritual-delusions/https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10686326/https://futurism.com/commitment-jail-chatgpt-psychosishttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/10/chatbots-posed-as-therapist-and-adult-lover-in-teen-suicide-case-lawsuit-says/https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.18412https://openai.com/index/sycophancy-in-gpt-4o/ This is a public episode.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason chats about his early days in Traffic, writing the classic "Feelin' Alright?", working with Delaney & Bonnie, and so much more. PART ONEScott and Paul chat about Dave Mason's unique role in the rock & roll pantheon.PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Dave Mason.ABOUT DAVE MASONAfter recording background vocals with The Spencer Davis Group on such hits as "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man," Dave Mason became a founding member of the British rock group Traffic alongside Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood. He wrote some of the band's best-known songs, including “Hole in My Shoe” and “Feelin' Alright?” which went on to be covered in a memorable version by Joe Cocker. After touring and recording with Delaney & Bonnie (who recorded Dave's song “Only You Know and I Know”), he joined an early version of Eric Clapton's Derek & The Dominos. Dave soon left to pursue a solo career, beginning with the Alone Together album. He has released three Gold-certified solo albums and one Platinum album, Let It Flow, which featured the hit “We Just Disagree.” In addition to his solo releases and a duet album with Mama Cass Elliot, Dave has appeared on such legendary recordings as “Street Fighting Man” by the Rolling Stones, “All Along the Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix, “Listen to What the Man Said” by Paul McCartney and Wings, as well as George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album. In the 1990s Dave spent time as a member of Fleetwood Mac, contributing original songs to the band's Time album in 1995. He has recorded with Michael Jackson, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Donovan, Phoebe Snow, and many others. Dave was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic and, in 2024, published his memoir, Only You Know and I Know.

In January 2025, Rolling Stone published an article by Cheyenne Roundtree and Nancy Dillon titled "As Sean Combs' ‘Love' Era Began, New Accusers Say He Was Still a ‘Demon'." The piece examines Sean "Diddy" Combs' public rebranding as a changed man, contrasting it with recent allegations suggesting continued abusive behavior. Despite Combs' claims of personal growth following a 2016 incident where he was recorded assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, multiple sources allege that his abusive actions persisted well beyond this purported turning point.The article details accounts from new accusers who describe experiences of manipulation, coercion, and violence at the hands of Combs. These allegations challenge the narrative of redemption that Combs has promoted, painting a picture of ongoing misconduct that contradicts his public persona during his "Love" era. The piece underscores the disparity between Combs' professed transformation and the troubling claims of those who have come forward, suggesting that his abusive behavior did not cease as he has asserted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs Was a ‘Demon' in 'Love' Era, New Accusers SayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Steve interviews Andy Greene (00:24:35) from Rolling Stone magazine. Andy joins us to talk about a busy few weeks in rock and a bad time to be in the "rock is dead," crowd. Andy talks about the return of Oasis, why he thinks the brothers decided to get back together, and gives his thoughts on what he has seen from the shows so far. Andy also talks about the reunions that still need to happen while they still can. Steve and Andy then move on to the last Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne concert. Ozzy pulled it off, Steve Tyler sounds incredible, and who was the band that Sharon kicked off the gig? Next, the guys talk about Matt Cameron leaving Pearl Jam. Why? What is next for Matt? What is next for Pearl Jam? Steve starts the show with first things first. The 2025 Braves have reached the All-Star break, thank god. Also, Jannik Sinner is the first Italian to win Wimbledon. In the NFL, 30 second round picks remained unsigned and Kirk Cousins realizes that the Atlanta Falcons are hideous. The show ends with one last thing about Steve's journey from fat dad and horrible dancer to horrible dancer who isn't quite as fat.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber is firmly back in the spotlight after releasing his surprise seventh studio album Swag on July 11, 2025, under Def Jam. The album marks his first full-length release in over four years and features 21 tracks with a star-studded lineup, including Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Druski, and Marvin Winans on the gospel-tinged closer Forgiveness, signaling a more mature and vulnerable direction. Swag's sudden arrival was teased by global billboards and a dramatic reveal of the tracklist in New York's Times Square, which sent fans and the music press into overdrive. The reception: the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and its emotionally raw lyrics—touching on fatherhood, mental health challenges, and family life—have been widely praised as a new peak in Bieber's artistic evolution according to Coast1045 and confirmed by People.In tandem with the album drop, Bieber made headlines for his very public affection toward wife Hailey Bieber, reposting her bikini photos from Mallorca on his Instagram Stories with an over-the-top reaction and sparking a fresh wave of positive gossip about their marriage. The couple, who married in 2018 and welcomed their first child Jack in August 2024, spent the album release weekend celebrating together. According to People, Hailey played a major role in supporting Justin's creative freedom on Swag, especially since he parted ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023—a move that Rolling Stone reports allowed Bieber to finally work on his own terms.Speculation swirled on social media about a possible return to touring, with fans noticing hints in Bieber's posts and some outlets suggesting a potential world tour announcement. However, Los40 and Extra Chill clarify that nothing official has been announced, and sources close to Bieber suggest ongoing caution due to his past struggles with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and mental health issues that led to the cancellation of his previous Justice World Tour. Skepticism remains regarding any major festival appearances for 2025, with Coachella insiders pointing to organizers' preference for stability over headline drama.On the business front, Bieber's estimated net worth stands at $300 million as detailed by Fourth Wall Production, fueled not just by music but by his successful Drew House brand, the Generosity water startup, and strategic real estate investments from Beverly Hills to Europe. He's also expanded into the fashion world with his new line SKYLRK according to VinylMePlease, reinforcing his cultural reach well beyond music. Social media buzz remains intense. Bieber's Instagram brims with album promotion, candid snaps with Hailey, and playful nods to his personal life. He's also directly addressed rumors about his mental health, calling out “gossip” and affirming his commitment to his family and craft. In summary, Justin Bieber's week has been a masterclass in celebrity comeback, blending musical vulnerability, relationship affirmation, and business acumen, with every move scrutinized and celebrated by fans and media alike.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

NEON COWGIRL  "The Neon Cowgirl-towering over Broadway like the patron saint of heartbreak in downtown Nashville as she smiles coyly over her shoulder in red cowboy boots-watched me grow up. Basking in her glow, I walked wide-eyed into the Ryman Auditorium as a 16 year-old, clutching my ticket. Later that night, dreaming of standing on that stage,  I drifted off to sleep in the bunk of our home on wheels at the KOA next to the Opry. When I was 18, she saw me flipping through Loretta Lynn CDs in Ernest Tubb Record Shop after performing the breakfast and lunch shows on the General Jackson showboat with my parents and brothers in our family band, The Neilsons. At 25, she watched me running all over town, meeting up with other songwriters-writing, writing, writing-before I had to fly back home to Canada again. At 30, I returned as a newlywed on my honeymoon, flying in from New Zealand where I'd moved for love, holding hands with my new husband in Hatch Show Print, introducing him to her like a family member. A decade passed without her as I built a life on the other side of the world and raised 2 babies. My heart raced as I returned to her once again, to showcase at Americanafest, playing to 12 people at 3rd and Lindsley. 5 years and many showcases later, I swear she smiled right at me as I stopped to point her out to my two children as we walked past her, through the doors of the Ryman to finally perform for the first time. NEON COWGIRL represents a lifelong dream of chasing Nashville and country music. I've loved her my whole life, even when she breaks my heart over and over again."   This weeks guest = Tami Neilson - through much hard work,  fierce determination and drive has begun to make all her dreams come true. She is blessed with a voice that's been described as "a fire breathing R&B belter" by Rolling Stone. Tami has now played the Ryman, sung a duet with her hero Willie Nelson. Travelled the highways and cities of the USA and Canada in an RV  with her NZ family,  so they could experience where she came from and the places on the planet she was singing about. Her latest adventure was opening for Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan as part of the Outlaw Music Festival.  Dreams DO come true. She's done all this while dealing with health issues and her brother Jay's recovery from major surgery. 

Welcome back to the Beginner Guitar Academy podcast with your host, Paul Andrews!

Krishnamurti:For nearly six decades until his passing in 1986 at the age of ninety, Jiddu Krishnamurti traversed the globe, delivering spontaneous and captivating discourses to large audiences. Krishnamurti assumed the role of an investigator rather than an authority figure, encouraging individuals to question assumptions and explore the depths of their consciousness. His extensive body of work, estimated at over 100 million words, spans more than six decades of relentless inquiry and dialogue. His teachings, compiled in numerous books and translated into multiple languages, continue to inspire seekers worldwide, inviting them to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding. J. Krishnamurti's legacy endures as a guiding light, offering timeless wisdom for those who dare to challenge conventional thinking and explore the complexities of existence.Listen to Krishnamurti's lectures on the Be Here Now Network's Freedom From The Known podcast.About David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. "He was an advocate, always, of looking at yourself. He felt that the deeper truths about the meaning of living do not come from anyone else, even if the greatest guru is in front of you, it still comes from what you yourself are truly embedded in properly. In other words, that's what you believe when you're alone, silent, not having to impress, not having to compare."– David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who is Mark Opitz? Let's just say this… without Mark Opitz, the sound of INXS – and a good chunk of Australian rock royalty – wouldn't be what it is today. Mark Opitz is more than a record producer. He's a sonic architect, a studio visionary, and the man behind the glass during some of the most defining moments in Aussie music history.  INXS – Yes, he helped shape their sound during that vital early international breakthrough with “Shabooh Shoobah”, and a few years later, he came back to help steer the band through two bold and creative studio albums: “Welcome to Wherever You Are” and “Full Moon, Dirty Hearts.” Albums that pushed boundaries, reinvented the band's sound, and cemented their status as artists—not just hitmakers. But the Mark Opitz story doesn't stop at INXS. Not even close. He's worked with AC/DC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Divinyls, Noiseworks, Hoodoo Gurus, Models, and Jimmy Barnes—and that's just scratching the surface.  His shelves are stacked with ARIA Awards, platinum records, and accolades from every corner of the industry.
