In this episode, music legend Huey Lewis joins Tim and Troy Green for a wide-ranging conversation about life, loss, fame, and finding joy after adversity. Huey reflects on his early years—hitchhiking through Europe with a harmonica, busking on the streets, and discovering his voice in London's punk scene. He shares powerful memories of mentors like Phil Lynott, the lessons he learned from Robert Altman, and the unforgettable night recording We Are the World with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and others. Huey also opens up about his profound hearing loss and the spiritual peace he's found in nature, fishing, and family. With characteristic humility and humor, he talks about his Broadway-bound musical, the impact of Back to the Future, and why sometimes the setbacks are what set you free. This isn't just a trip through 80s nostalgia—it's a story about staying grounded when the world goes wild, and why the journey matters more than the spotlight.

Send us a textThere's something profoundly meaningful about sharing a transcendent concert experience with the people you love most. In this deeply personal episode, I take you inside the magical My Morning Jacket show at Kansas City's Uptown Theater where I celebrated turning 40 by bringing my wife and daughter to experience the band for their first time (my 20th).From our prime spot on the rail where Jim James made a special connection with my daughter, to the spellbinding performance that stretched 33 minutes past curfew, the show exemplified everything that makes live music a transformative force. Grace Cummings delivered a mesmerizing opening set before joining the band for an unforgettable collaboration, while the Kansas City crowd demonstrated why this city remains an underrated music hotspot.The heart of this episode features my conversation with the brilliant Courtney Schoeberlein, the artist behind the stunning concert poster that captured my daughter's imagination. Courtney shares her remarkable journey from bartending to becoming a full-time artist, the thrill of working with her dream band, and the fascinating philosophy behind concert poster art. Her perspective on how posters serve as vessels for both the creator's and the audience's memories reveals why these artifacts matter so much to the music community.As I reflect on four decades of life and hundreds of concerts, I explore the profound question of why we chase these live music moments. It's not just about hearing songs performed—it's about creating touchstone memories that connect us to specific times, people, and feelings. These shared experiences become part of who we are, stories we can tell long after the music fades.Whether you're a dedicated concertgoer or simply curious about the power of live music, this episode celebrates how these fleeting moments can become the anchors that give our lives meaning and connection.

Send us a textGrab your headphones and settle in as we dissect Rolling Stone's controversial list of the Top 70 Music Documentaries of all time. What starts as a critical examination quickly transforms into a passionate debate about what truly makes a music documentary great.The disconnect becomes apparent immediately: Is Rolling Stone's list actually about documentaries, or is it just another way to celebrate their favorite musicians? We unpack how concert films are fundamentally different from true music documentaries, yet Rolling Stone lumps them together without clear criteria. The result? A list that favors established names over genuine documentary excellence.From Metallica's raw vulnerability in "Some Kind of Monster" to the manufactured mythology of "Montage of Heck," we analyze why some films reveal authentic truths while others reinforce carefully constructed images. When Bob Dylan's "Don't Look Back" takes the #1 spot, we ask the uncomfortable question: is this truly the pinnacle of music documentary filmmaking, or just Rolling Stone paying homage to their perennial favorite?The conversation extends beyond critique as we share our own must-see music documentaries that offer genuine insight into artists, their creative processes, and the cultural moments they inhabited. From "Pearl Jam 20" to lesser-known gems like "Dennis and Lois" and "The Fearless Freaks," we champion films that balance musical performance with human storytelling.Whether you're a documentary enthusiast or a music lover seeking deeper connections with your favorite artists, this episode will transform how you view the intersection of music and filmmaking. The greatest music documentaries transcend fandom—they should reveal something universal about creativity, human relationships, and the artistic struggle that resonates with any thoughtful viewer.www.TheTouringFanLive.commedia@TheTouringFanLive.Comwww.facebook.com/TheTouringFanLiveInstagram-@TheTouringFanLiveCopyright The Touring Fan Live 2024

We're talking Paul McCartney in this episode. Specifically his music during the decade of the 90s. Author JR Moores has a new book out now titled Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990s. This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s.Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see him reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores's sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney's '90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects, imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney's reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that his output and activities in the '90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade. Purchase a copy of Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990sFollow JJ Moores:BlueskyInstagramX Episode Playlist ---------- BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.com The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe

This week's episode is all about my personal creative process. I'm taking 5 tracks off my new album, "The Alchemist and the Eagle," and sharing with the listeners about the stories behind the stories behind the music. With each song, I share about what went into creating it, how it fits with the novel, and how events and experiences in my personal life shaped the characters and plot developments in the first place - so we get into some of my psychedelic experiences, my time as a grad student studying at the Mescalero Apache reservation, experiences at Burning Man, and more, and how it all helped shape the story. I get into how I worked to create the songs to go with the particular chapters and how it influenced the sounds, textures, and instruments used in the songs. You can stream the entire album HERE for free, if you'd like to hear the entire thing. I hope you enjoy this exploration of the creative process with me. 

Jamie James, guitarist, singer, and songwriter, joins Charles on Seeing Them Live to discuss his musical journey and new album Straight Up, released on Oglio Records.Jamie reflects on his early musical influences, growing up in Woodstock, Ontario, and his transition from aspiring hockey player to musician after a knee injury. He shares how he taught himself guitar on a damaged acoustic and recalls receiving his first real guitar as a Christmas gift in 1966. The conversation turns to Jamie's formative concert experiences, including seeing Tommy James and the Shondells, Deep Purple, Sly and the Family Stone, The Who, and an early performance by Queen in a small London club. Jamie describes how these shows influenced his approach to live performance. He recounts his time in the 1970s rock scene, playing with various bands before joining the New Steppenwolf in 1977. After leaving the New Steppenwolf, Jamie formed The Kingbees, an ‘80s rockabilly trio that gained a cult following.A favorable review in LA Weekly helped them gain popularity, attracting large crowds to their shows. He discusses their unique rockabilly-inspired style, which predated the Stray Cats and MTV, and his personal shift toward a Buddy Holly-influenced guitar approach. Jamie also shares anecdotes about the LA music scene, recalling interactions with The Blasters and Blackie Dammett, father of Anthony Kiedis, who became an informal emcee for The Kingbees. Additionally, he recounts signing with RSO Records in 1980, initially seeing little success until their song My Mistake gained radio traction in Detroit. This newfound exposure led to major performance opportunities, including a replacement slot at the Toledo Speedway Jam alongside ZZ Top, AC/DC, and Sammy Hagar; a wild gig that took an unexpected turn involving a whiskey bottle that injured an audience member.After the Kingbees disbanded in 1981, Jamie pursued a solo career, but his EP failed to resonate with him. A chance encounter with actor Harry Dean Stanton at a July 4th gathering led to a close friendship and musical collaboration that lasted for years. Jamie formed a band with Stanton, regularly performing at The Lighthouse and The Mint. Later, he connected with actor Dennis Quaid, leading to the formation of The Sharks, a band that endured for nearly 20 years.A severe health scare in 2020 prompted Jamie to recommit to songwriting, leading to the creation of new music during the Covid pandemic. Despite financial challenges, his bandmates were eventually drawn in by the strength of his songs, paving the way for his latest album, Ain't No Big Thing (https://oglio.com/).Jamie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and an enduring love for making music.

The Dark Truth Behind the Music: New Diddy Documentary Uncovers Disturbing Allegations Sean "Diddy" Combs, once celebrated as a music mogul and cultural icon, faces intense scrutiny in the wake of serious allegations. Peacock's upcoming 90-minute documentary special, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, premiering January 14, promises an unfiltered look at the man behind the hits—and the alleged horrors. The special, featuring never-before-seen footage and testimonies from those closest to Diddy, offers a shocking glimpse into his alleged double life. In a chilling moment from the trailer, an anonymous individual, speaking behind a voice changer and shrouded in shadow, shares, “Any time that the studio or any room is red, he's making love and sex. Some of the girls that were in the rooms, for sure, were underage.” The allegations are not new but continue to grow in scope. Last year, Diddy was indicted on charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Arrested on September 16 in Manhattan, he has been held without bail pending his trial in May. The indictment and subsequent lawsuits reveal a disturbing picture of abuse, manipulation, and a network allegedly complicit in enabling these acts. Among the most shocking accusations are details about “freak offs,” elaborate sex parties involving large groups. These gatherings, according to court documents, often included individuals coerced or threatened into participation. Authorities revealed that participants required IV fluids to recover from drug use and extreme exertion. A raid on Combs' properties last year uncovered thousands of bottles of baby oil, believed to have been stocked for these events. This documentary arrives amidst heightened interest in Diddy's alleged crimes. Earlier projects like The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs, a docuseries from TMZ and Tubi, delved into similar allegations. Meanwhile, rapper and frequent Diddy critic 50 Cent is developing his own Netflix series with director Alex Stapleton, promising a “complex narrative spanning decades.” Peacock's trailer hints at new revelations, describing the film as a challenge for viewers to rethink what they believed about Diddy. It explores how he allegedly orchestrated his crimes and the machinery that allowed him to operate unchecked for years. The streamer emphasizes the story's gravity, stating that the documentary aims to “go beyond the headlines and the mugshot.” The mounting allegations against Diddy cast a dark shadow over his legacy, forcing the public to grapple with disturbing questions about fame, power, and accountability. As the premiere of The Making of a Bad Boy approaches, one question looms: How did this go unchecked for so long? #DiddyDocumentary #TrueCrime #TheMakingOfABadBoy #PeacockOriginal #MusicMogulScandal #SeanCombs #FreakOffs Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
