As we begin the new year, this New Year's Day market outlook takes a balanced, risk-aware look at what 2026 may hold for investors. Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff examine the bullish case for markets, including the macro and technical backdrops supporting higher prices, while also addressing the growing risks beneath the surface—particularly stress in credit markets and the potential for lower long-term returns. The discussion explores how elevated valuations, tighter financial conditions, and shifting economic dynamics could impact portfolio outcomes in the year ahead. We also outline practical investment strategies for 2026, including why cash can provide valuable optionality during periods of volatility and uncertainty. Additional topics include a preview of the 2026 Economic Summit, sector opportunities such as energy, expectations for gold and silver, and a critical discussion of which investments may be inappropriate to hold inside a Roth IRA structure. This episode is designed to help investors set realistic expectations, manage risk, and position portfolios thoughtfully for the year ahead. 0:00 - INTRO 0:18 - Market Outlook for 2026 2:12 - The Case for Bullishness 7:15 - The Risk for Lower Returns 9:44 - The Case for Bearishness 13:24 - Stress in Credit markets 15:33 - Investing Strategies for 2026 20:40 - Cash Provides Optionality 23:48 - 2026 Economic Summit Preview 29:17 - Energy Plays for 2026 32:20 - Expectations for Gold and Silver in 2026 39:15 - What Investments Should NOT Be Held in a Roth IRA?

Quick recap The meeting began with personal travel experiences, including dietary preferences and climate adjustments. The group then covered various news stories and unusual events, ranging from rejected license plates to a robot setting a badminton record, before transitioning to a detailed demonstration of a DA2 digital player and its features. The conversation ended with humorous stories and jokes, followed by a reminder about listener ratings and upcoming episodes. Summary Terry shared his travel experiences, including an incident where his suitcase vibrated due to an accidentally activated beard trimmer, and mentioned his adjustment to the warm climate in Chicago, which contrasted with the cold back home. They also talked about dietary preferences, with Terry recounting a conversation with a Wisconsin resident who avoids cheese and discussed his own meal preferences during his hospital stay. Terry mentions the consistent menu of pot roast served at the facility. Terry and Keith discussed the poor quality of food and service at the hospital cafeteria at Hines, noting that meals were served on Styrofoam plates with plastic utensils since November. Terry mentioned giving braille calendars to Maggie from the Madison County Blind, to be distributed to veterans during exit interviews. News of the Week Due to technology issues Terry passes the torch to Jill to get the segment started. She shared an update on a hibernating bear under a California man’s house, which had been lured into a cage by wildlife officials but ended up capturing the wrong bear. Terry then shared a story about Illinois officials revealing rejected personalized license plates from 2025, including one that read “I be poopin’.” Keith shared details about the auction of the final run of pennies in the United States, where 232 sets of three pennies sold for $16.76 million, with the last penny sold for $8,000. They also discussed the historical value of pennies and the changing cost of penny candy over the years. Jill mentioned a story about a Japanese company building a robot, though the details were not fully explored. The unusual news stories continue, including a robot setting a world record for consecutive badminton returns against humans, a horse knocking over a mailbox in Florida, and police recovering a stolen Faberge egg in New Zealand. Terry shared a story about a West Coast fast food chain, In-N-Out Burger, removing the number 67 from their ticket order system due to a viral trend. Jill's Weird Words Before Jill can get her first word out, Terry has more technical difficulty. Will he make it back in time for his top 10 list? Jill introduces a word game, where participants had to guess the meaning of “Verso” and “e-Phyllis.” Terry's Top 10 List He makes it back just in time, and Terry shared his top 10 list of things reindeer do when it’s not Christmas. They then transitioned to discussing Terry’s new book reader from the NLS library, which he brought to Heinz for instruction. Keith helped identify features of the device, including USB ports, a cartridge slot, and the possibility of connecting a QWERTY keyboard for entering passwords and book titles. Anchor Topic This is the segment or we talk about blindness related issues. Since Terry is now receiving extra training, we turn the segment over to him so we can share what his goals are to learn. Terry demonstrated the functionality of a DA2 digital player, including its buttons, features, and navigation. He explained how to use various buttons for tasks like playing books, adjusting settings, and accessing the user guide. Keith and Jill provided clarifications and asked questions to better understand the device’s capabilities. They discussed the possibility of covering more features in a future session. Email and Final Thoughts Keith reads emails from listeners, but Terry expressed a preference for emails about real experiences rather than dreams or visions. Keith shared a humorous story about St. Peter at the gates of heaven, where he compared the rewards given to different individuals based on their earthly deeds. He followed it up with the story about a man whose wife discovered he made bets on horses. The final word from our AI companion The group then engaged in a lighthearted exchange of jokes, with Terry and Jill contributing their own humorous anecdotes. The episode concluded with Keith encouraging listeners to leave ratings and feedback, and reminding them to check for new episodes every Thursday. Show notes written by AI, edited as needed by Keith.

Bear Grylls has achieved worldwide fame as one of the most recognised faces of survival and outdoor adventure. A former SAS soldier, he has climbed Everest, circumnavigated the British Isles on a jet ski, rowed naked in a bathtub along the Thames and once broke his back in a parachuting accident. But he's most famous for his TV career. He starred in seven seasons of the Discovery Channel's Emmy Award-nominated Man vs. Wild TV series and hosted Running Wild, which has featured Bear taking President Obama, Julia Roberts, Roger Federer, Will Ferrell, Channing Tatum, and Kate Winslet on extreme adventures. Bear is thoughtful, open and surprisingly gentle. This conversation will make you reflect on resilience, bravery and what it really means to keep moving forward when things fall apart. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 03:00 Living with nerves and self-doubt 07:12 Public success versus private fear 13:45 Losing his father and learning to live with grief 18:10 Breaking his back and rebuilding confidence 23:40 Faith, inner voices and self-belief 29:05 Courage, fear and moving towards the difficult things 35:20 Failing SAS selection and earning confidence 41:00 TV failure, risk and starting again 46:40 Why giving up is the only real failure

Sometimes the smartest move is to stop overthinking and just go. Trust the path. Trust who you are with. Let it be an adventure. Show Notes As Baylor reflects on 2025, he realizes that the biggest lesson did not come from business, speaking, or strategy. It came from his dog, Bear. Every time Baylor says "let's go," Bear does not hesitate. No questions. No overthinking. No fear of the unknown. Just total commitment and excitement for whatever comes next. That instinct becomes the framework for how Baylor wants to approach 2026. This episode is about shedding hesitation, loosening the need to control every outcome, and reframing uncertainty as adventure instead of threat. Baylor shares how some of his best moments in 2025 happened when he stopped planning every detail and simply went. From spontaneous trips to learning new skills, progress followed action, not overanalysis. He also reframes daily life itself. The difference between an errand and an adventure is not the destination. It is the mindset. When life is viewed as an adventure, uncertainty becomes energizing instead of paralyzing. Finally, Baylor emphasizes that the best experiences in life are rarely defined by where you go or what you do. They are defined by who you do them with. Being intentional about your circle in 2026 may matter more than any goal you set. Key Takeaways • Hesitation creates more harm than action • You do not need all the answers to move forward • Calling it an adventure changes how you experience uncertainty • Action builds clarity faster than planning • Growth feels different when you allow yourself to have fun • The people you share experiences with matter more than the experiences themselves • Constraint and focus create space for what matters most Featured Quote "I don't know where we're going. I don't know how long it will take. But I'm in. It's an adventure."

Bear and the boys have some fun as Opi has stayed in Florida and Grimbo has pretty much checked out. We have a lively and fun talk about Rosie O'Donnell, the Illini bowl game, the messy NFC South, go over our normal stuff but do it in a more chatty way as opposed to structured. Then Bear has some endof the season quiz numbers for the guys, talk some NFL, lots of Bears and Packers talk, then spend a bunch of time on the FBFL championship game. Ryan does let everyone know how nervous he is this week as he takes on the 33s in said championship. We finish with some quick Christmas talk and move into 2026.

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth continue their conversation with IU historian Bill Murphy, shifting from football glory to basketball history. This installment dives deep into the Branch McCracken era, revealing why Bill's favorite IU coach isn't who most fans would expect.Branch McCracken: The SheriffBill makes his case for Branch McCracken over Bob Knight, drawing fascinating parallels between the two legendary coaches. Branch coached 24 years (1938-1965, minus three years serving in WWII), finishing first or second in the Big Ten in 12 of those seasons with two national titles. Knight coached 29 years, finishing first or second in 16 seasons with three titles. Bill argues that had NCAA tournament rules been different, Branch might have won in 1960 when IU beat Ohio State by 16 in Bloomington after their last 12-game win streak, while Knight's 1987 title came when IU tied for the Big Ten title with three other teams. Bill recounts meeting Branch as an eighth grader in New Albany, a handshake he didn't want to wash for a week, and describes a six-foot-four presence who earned nicknames like "The Sheriff" and "The Bear" while drinking coffee at every shop on the Bloomington square to keep tabs on his players.The Van Arsdale Twins' Supernatural SymmetryThe conversation turns to Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, whose three-year careers produced jaw-dropping statistical similarities:Separated by just 12 points over 72 games (1,252 to 1,240)Only 10 rebounds apart (729 to 719)Both hit exactly 15 field goals in their career-high game against Notre DameConstantly pranked Branch by wearing mismatched socks after he tried to distinguish them by colorOfficials sometimes let the wrong twin shoot free throws because they couldn't tell them apartMike shares stories from his father, who lived in the SAE house with the twins and John McGlocklin—three of IU's seven all-time NBA All-Stars living in the same room.Chesty Chips and Television HistoryBill reveals how IU became the first university to televise basketball games in 1950 when radio announcer Paul Lennon convinced a Terre Haute potato chip company to sponsor games for $1,500 each. After one broadcast, Chesty Potato Chips went from one shift to three and sold out across the region, causing the price to jump to $5,000 per game the next year.Branch's BoysBill shares his favorite McCracken moments—from officials threatening a technical for every step back to the bench (so players carried him), to another ref getting him to sit down by saying "your fly is open," to Branch's simple philosophy: if he could only win one game all year, it would be against Purdue. That hatred paid off in 1940 when IU swept Purdue but finished second in the Big Ten, yet still received the NCAA tournament invitation over the conference champs.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this final episode of Smokey Sips, Jason and Craig wrap up by diving into Smoke & Dagger, the Smoked Black Lager from Jack's Abbey Craft Lagers. They explore Jack's Abbey's dedication to old-world lager techniques, break down what defines a black lager, and compare how smoke interacts across different styles—from rauchbiers to smoked porters. Along the way, they dig into malt sweetness, perceived bitterness, IBUs vs. Scoville heat, and why balance matters more than numbers. The episode closes with reflections on the full smoked beer lineup, holiday beer season, and what's ahead at Magic Bear as the year winds down. Visit our website at BuffaloBrewsPodcast.comEmail: buffalobrewsPR@gmail.comFollow us on social media.Instagram: @BuffaloBrewsPodcast Facebook: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastTikTok: @BuffaloBrewsYouTube: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastX/Twitter: @BuffaloBrewsPod

Episode 272 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast continues the deep dive into The Beatles Anthology, as Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey review Parts 5 and 6. This episode covers the height of Beatlemania and the beginning of its collapse, from the chaos of Shea Stadium and relentless world touring to the creative leap represented by Rubber Soul and Revolver. The increasing divide between what the Beatles could create in the studio versus what they could reproduce on stage is apparent, as part 6 turns toward controversy, cultural backlash, and the end of touring altogether. How do Parts 5 and 6 capture the moment when the Beatles stopped being a live band and became something entirely new? Dive into that, and a lot more!

What if cannabis education focused on benefits, not fear?Daniel Bear, PhD returns to break down the cannabis industry THC obsession, Canada's cannabis tax imbalance, and why mindful consumption—not prohibition—is the future of cannabis policy. Daniel tackles falling prices, rising taxes, disappearing profit margins, and the ongoing threat of the illicit market. He explores how high-THC marketing pressures, youth protection, and consumer education can seem to be in conflict. Everyone, except governments, hat taxes, but Daniel believes smarter tax policies could stabilize the market without compromising safety. Daniel also unveils an exciting new 'project: HERBy, the Helpful Education for Responsible Benefit-maximization tool. AI can be your therapist, or your research assistant, so why not a mindful cannabis consumption chatbot. This tool is built on groundbreaking research from his recent peer-reviewed study, "Harm reduction isn't enough: Introducing the concept of Mindful Consumption and Benefit Maximization (MCBM)," published in the International Journal of Drug Policy. Listen now to learn whether Canada is still on the right path—and what industry, government, and consumers must do next to ensure legalization succeeds for everyone.HERBy Chatbot - websiteDaniel Bear PhD - LinkedIn-responsum.caTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

Brought to you by a very reputable lawyer, my books and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular, it's another exciting episode of the RECRAP. The Bears lost a thriller to the 49ers when they ran out of time on the final drive (which honestly, happens in every game to somebody). The offense was great and fun, the defense was bad and frustrating. Brock Purdy's a prick, Christian McCaffrey's hurt again, and I just hope Luther Burden's OK. Plus, there's a great idea for a reality show where George McCaskey picks one lucky Bear to drive to road games in his Camry. All that, and more.

Laura is not necessarily a natural at this. But she's trying. Bear with her?

The Bear Cup by Luci by 826 Valencia

Sorry for questionable audio.In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way of the Lord,[a]    make his paths straight.5 Every valley shall be filled,    and every mountain and hill shall be made low,and the crooked shall become straight,    and the rough places shall become level ways,6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'”7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”10 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” 11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics[b] is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13 And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”18 So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20 added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.

2025 won't be remembered as the year for love, peace and harmony. War and military attacks were happening everywhere - from the Ukraine to the Middle East to Venezuela to Nigeria. Natural disasters like wildfires and floods swept the U.S. And not only did we lose beloved celebrities like Diane Keaton, Robert Redford and Ozzy Osbourne, other popular figures - from Rob and Michele Reiner to Charlie Kirk to Melissa and Mark Hortman - died in devastating ways that shocked the world. Political differences polarized Americans with increasing intensity, AI made us increasingly unsure what was even real, social media became a toxic wasteland, and millions were facing the loss of health insurance at year's end as a result of the expiration of ACA subsidies. We could go on and on, but we know you lived through it, too. So this week your hosts of "How We Heard It" decided to highlight some positive things about 2025 with lists of the year's best songs and albums and movies and TV shows. They were riveted by movies like "One Battle After Another," "Sinners" and "Weapons" and intrigued by films like "Nuremburg," "Companion" and "Good Boy." On the small screen, your hosts were thrilled by "IT: Welcome to Derry" and "Alien: Earth," challenged by "The Bear" and "White Lotus" and tickled by "The English Teacher" and a revived "South Park." Musically, Kendrick Lamar and SZA teamed up on a sizzling tribute to Luther Vandross, the U.K.'s Wet Leg brought back rowdy alt-rock excitement, and Taylor Swift may have saved us from the fate of Ophelia. It was almost enough to inspire them to do that little Swiftie dance. If they could dance.

Radosław Czyż, Emilia Dłużewska i Maja Staniszewska rozmawiają o najnowszym filmie Jana Komasy "Rocznica", a także innych filmowych portretach rodzinnych spotkań, które nierzadko są zwierciadłem odbijającym obraz społeczeństwa, a innym razem po prostu intrygą rodzinną. Przechodzimy więc od serialu "The Bear" czy "Wesela" Smarzowskiego przez "Cichą Noc", "Tokijską opowieść", "Shiva Baby" po "Boże Narodzenie u ciebie czy u mnie". A przy okazji "Rocznicy" nasi dziennikarze udzielają także krótkiej lekcji matematyki.

In the before times, I would have been hostile to meditation and mindfulness. I didn't have time for it, I wanted the quick cure, the fix and no B.S.

Musical Journey Through the Final Week of December: This Week in Music History As the calendar year draws to a close, the week of December 22nd through December 28th stands as a powerful reminder that music history never sleeps—not even during the holidays. In this captivating episode of “This Week in Music History,” hosts Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs take listeners on an extraordinary journey through decades of musical milestones, tragic losses, and triumphant achievements that have shaped the soundtrack of our lives. The conversation opens with a poignant reflection on the end of another year of exploring music’s rich tapestry. Buzz muses on how, despite covering similar calendar dates year after year, they continue to uncover new stories and perspectives. “When you think about it, you would think, well, if you do it year after year, you’re going to be talking about the same things,” Buzz observes. “And the truth is, we continue to uncover new and different things.” This sentiment perfectly captures the infinite depth of music history and the endless stories waiting to be told. The Clash’s Revolutionary Voice Falls Silent December 22nd marks the anniversary of one of punk rock’s most devastating losses—the death of Joe Strummer in 2002. Born John Meller, the Clash frontman passed away from pneumonia at a time when his influence on music and culture was still reverberating through generations of artists. The Clash represented more than just a band; they were a political and social force that challenged conventions and inspired countless musicians to use their platform for more than entertainment. Strummer’s legacy as a voice for the disenfranchised and his commitment to authentic, passionate rock and roll continues to inspire artists today. A Candle in the Wind That Lost Its Luster The hosts touch on Elton John’s iconic “Candle in the Wind,” originally written about Marilyn Monroe in 1967. While the song initially resonated as a beautiful tribute, its later reworking for Princess Diana’s funeral created what Buzz describes as “overkill.” The constant repetition following Diana’s tragic death in 1997 caused the song to lose some of its original emotional impact for many listeners. This phenomenon speaks to how even the most beautiful pieces of music can become dulled through overexposure, demonstrating the delicate balance between honoring memory and respecting the power of restraint. Cheap Trick’s Complex Family Dynamics A fascinating deep dive into the internal dynamics of Cheap Trick reveals the complicated nature of band relationships and business structures. Rick Nielsen, the legendary guitar player known for his collection of hundreds of guitars—including his famous five-neck Hamer guitar—represents the performative and creative heart of Cheap Trick. The band’s 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction marked a peak moment, but beneath the surface lay complex tensions. The departure of bassist Bunny Carlos and the subsequent addition of Rick Nielsen’s son, Dax, initially appeared to follow the pattern of other famous rock family transitions, like Michael Anthony’s replacement by Wolfgang Van Halen in Van Halen. However, the reality proved far more nuanced. Buzz’s research uncovered ongoing strife within the band, though Carlos remains part of the Cheap Trick corporation—a business structure similar to Journey’s arrangement with Steve Perry. This setup ensures that founding members maintain ownership stakes even when they’re no longer actively touring, though it can also create lasting tension and legal complications. The hosts explore the darker side of band politics, touching on stories of sabotage and ego clashes. There are tales of Journey band members allegedly pulling on Steve Perry’s microphone cord during performances to make him trip—petty acts of revenge that reveal the intense pressures and personalities at play in successful rock bands. Yet they also note that time can heal wounds, pointing to Perry and Neal Schon’s apparently warm relationship at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, despite whatever conflicts may have existed in their past. The Therapeutic Approach: A New Model for Band Longevity In a refreshing counterpoint to tales of band dysfunction, Buzz shares insights from his conversation with The Head and the Heart on his “Music Saved Me” podcast. This indie pop alternative band has taken an innovative approach to managing interpersonal relationships: group therapy. Band members openly discuss how they’ve used professional counseling to navigate the challenges of creative collaboration, life on the road, and the inevitable conflicts that arise when passionate artists work together for years. This revelation prompts fascinating speculation about how many legendary bands might have avoided breakups, lawsuits, and lasting bitterness if they’d embraced therapy earlier. The deeply personal nature of musical creation—leaving your heart exposed in every performance, every recording—makes these relationships particularly vulnerable to conflict. As Harry notes, “even if it’s a drummer or a bass player, it’s still your piece of that performance of that song you left your heart out there.” The music exists forever as a testament to that vulnerability, creating permanent emotional stakes that can intensify disagreements and hurt feelings. Joe Cocker: A Voice That Couldn’t Be Contained The passing of Joe Cocker at age 70 in 2014 brings reflection on an artist whose expressive, explosive performances made him unforgettable. While 70 might not seem particularly old from our current vantage point—as Buzz and Harry, approaching 60 and 70 respectively, can attest—Cocker’s hard-living lifestyle took its toll. His performances were legendary, inspiring John Belushi’s spot-on “Saturday Night Live” impersonation that Cocker himself found hilarious. Cocker’s career highlights include his cover of The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” which became the theme for the television series “The Wonder Years,” and “Up Where We Belong,” his duet with Jennifer Warnes from the film “An Officer and a Gentleman.” The latter song became inextricably linked with that powerful film starring Richard Gere and Lou Gossett Jr., whose portrayal of a drill instructor was genuinely frightening and contributed to one of cinema’s most memorable moments—Gere’s character’s desperate declaration: “I got nowhere else to go.” Eddie Vedder: The Humble Superstar December 23rd celebrates the birthday of Eddie Vedder, born in 1964, whose appreciation for musical history and those who came before him sets him apart in an industry often dominated by ego. The hosts draw parallels to Dave Grohl, noting how both artists exhibit genuine humility and respect for their influences. Vedder’s collaborations with Neil Young, particularly their version of “Rockin’ in the Free World,” helped establish his credibility beyond Pearl Jam circles, while his passionate renditions of The Who’s classics—especially “Love, Reign o’er Me”—have become legendary in their own right. Vedder’s versatility shines through in his cover work, from The Waiting by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to The English Beat’s “Save It for Later,” featured in the television series “The Bear.” His interpretation of Tom Petty’s “Room at the Top” particularly resonates, described as “so beautiful” in its delicate handling of Petty’s original composition. The discussion of “The Bear” opens a tangent about the show’s exceptional soundtrack curation, featuring all Tom Petty covers including a barn-burning version of “Runnin’ Down the Dream” by Larkin Poe. Despite Pearl Jam’s reputation for deep cuts and extensive catalogs—which might intimidate casual fans—the hosts acknowledge being captivated whenever they hear Vedder sing anything. His voice and interpretive skills transcend the barrier of familiarity, making even unknown material compelling. The Unsung Guitar Legends of Country Music The conversation shifts to Glen Campbell, whose passing on December 24th prompts reflection on his extraordinary but often underappreciated guitar skills. Campbell represents a generation of country musicians whose technical prowess gets overshadowed by genre stereotypes. Like Roy Clark, Campbell could do virtually anything on guitar, yet many people don’t associate country music with virtuoso instrumentalists. Campbell’s session work tells the story of his versatility—he played on albums by The Monkees, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, and soundtracks for Elvis films and Phil Spector productions. This breadth demonstrates how the Nashville studio system produced some of the most skilled musicians in any genre, even if they didn’t always receive recognition outside country music circles. The discussion of Campbell also touches on Brian Wilson’s 1964 breakdown, a tragic moment that had long-lasting consequences for the Beach Boys and Wilson himself. The psychological damage inflicted by Wilson’s abusive father Murry Wilson—compared to Joe Jackson’s treatment of his children—demonstrates how family trauma can derail even the most talented artists. Brian’s struggles with touring and performing were just the beginning of severe mental health challenges that would plague him throughout his career. The Police: Reunion Done Right In 2007, The Police earned recognition as the year’s highest-grossing tour, thirty years after the band’s inception and 24-25 years after their previous collaboration. The reunion tour, which Buzz witnessed in Las Vegas, comprised over 150 shows worldwide and generated nearly $400 million—not a bad payday for a comeback. This success demonstrated the enduring appeal of Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland’s unique blend of rock, reggae, and new wave, proving that some artistic chemistry remains potent even after decades apart.Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
