Johnny GoudieHis alternative, pop-rock band, Goudie, was signed by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich who was impressed enough to release the album “Peep Show” in 2000. Besides his namesake band, Johnny Goudie has also made a name for himself with the Austin-based bands, Mr. Rocket Baby and Skyrocket, among others. Since 2011, he's hosted the “How Did I Get Here?” podcast, which is a question worth asking considering his Lars connection and work with members of the Go-Go's, Fastball, the BoDeans and others. He joins us to discuss all this and more.Created and Produced by Jared Tuten

WGN Radio's Dave Plier talks to iconic drummer Kenny Aronoff about his musical journey and playing with some of the biggest names in music including John Mellencamp, Paul McCartney, Springsteen, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Bodeans and more.

The Mascot Theory has been kicking around Wisconsin weekend-warrior style for the past decade, but like many musicians, the great pandemic-induced entertainment halt of 2020 forced the band to reflect and refocus musical efforts. With the core foundation of singer/songwriter Erik Kjelland and the rhythm section of Nick Fry on bass guitar and Paul Metz on drums, The Mascot Theory used this time off to slightly shift their sound away from their acoustic-driven folk-rock music and into a more classic rock inspired Rock and Roll groove, especially thanks to the addition of lead guitarist Cory who brings a strong musical swagger and reverence to the guitar gods of the past. In April 2022, the band worked with famed producer Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Shakira, Lenny Kravitz, Stax Record) at Sonic Ranch Studios near El Paso, TX and recorded 13 new songs as well as 2 updated versions of classic live show staple songs to record songs for the upcoming "Every Sign Of Life" album. Along with a WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) win for Best Male Vocalist (Erik Kjelland) and a nomination for Best Americana/folk artist, The Mascot Theory has won over 20 MAMA (Madison Area Music Association) awards including back-to-back 2016 and 2017 Artist of the Year awards.  They have played major festivals throughout Wisconsin including Summerfest, Freak Fest, and Mile of Music Festival, and have shared the stage with BoDeans, America, Don McLean, The Jayhawks, Vance Joy, Frank Turner, Chase Rice, Kaleo, The Wild Feathers, Guster, Blitzen Trapper, Cory Chisel, Andy Frasco and the UN, Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts, American Aquarium, American Scarecrows, and Lillie Mae. The new music travels into its classic rock influences; harmonies that bring to mind the Eagles or Poco, a bit of that Rolling Stones guitar swagger, a little ZZ Top blues rock, a dash of the Pink Floyd mood, but never straying far from the core of the Tom Petty/Beatle-esque importance of solid melody and lyrics. Songs like "When I Drift Away", "Lavender Blues" and "Fast Car Getaway" showcase the new album's infectious energy and beautiful harmonies within an eclectic landscape of well-crafted and memorable songs.

The industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails is the creation of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor.  While living in Cleveland in 1987, Reznor worked as an assistant engineer and janitor at Right Track Studios.  He had free access to the studio between bookings, and took inspiration from Prince to play all instruments himself to produce his material.  The name Nine Inch Nails comes from a quote by Al Jourgensen, lead singer of the metal band Ministry - "Listening to Ministry is like having a nine inch nail hammered into your head like a hole."  The debut studio album entitled Pretty Hate Machine was released by TVT Records in October 1989.  It has an industrial synth feel, with dark lyrics driven by angst, despair, and betrayal.  Unlike much of the industrial rock of the time, songs on Pretty Hate Machine feature catchy riffs and hooks, and the song structure employs a traditional verse and chorus approach rather than continually repeating electronics.  The result would prove to be both a commercial and critical success, reaching number 75 on the US album charts.Although Reznor produced and performed all the instrumentation on the album, he soon found himself in need of a touring band, particularly when he was brought in to open for Guns N' Roses on their European Tour.  Many musicians have been brought into the Nine Inch Nails over the years, but Reznor remained the only permanent member until his frequent collaborator, Atticus Ross, was brought in as a member in 2016.Lynch brings us this pioneering industrial rock album for this week's podcast. Head Like a HoleThe opening track to the album was the second and most commercially successful single, reaching number 28 on the US Alternative Airplay charts.   It also took inspiration from the quote from Al Jourgensen of Ministry.  The song is about the control that money has over people and the pain and suffering associated with it.  Terrible LieThis song reflects the anger and despair of a person going through a bad time in their life and blaming it on God.  "(Hey god) why are you doing this to me?  Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?  Why am I seething with this animosity?  (Hey god) I think you owe me a great big apology."SinWhen we give in to our darker impulses, perhaps driven by desire or betrayal, we can find ourselves in a spiral of self-destruction and sabotage.  The song is about the pain and destructiveness that can lurk below the surface.Down In ItThis is the debut single from the album.  During the making of the video, a camera attached to a weather balloon became detached and flew 200 miles away.  When found in a farmer's field the FBI was called in to investigate what appeared to be a gang or cult slaying of Reznor. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture "Christmas Vacation 3" The success of "Christmas Vacation" inspired a number of sequels. STAFF PICKS:Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili PeppersRob's staff pick is  a cover of a song Stevie Wonder originally released in 1973.  While the original went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, the energetic remake by the Red Hot Chili Peppers also achieved commercial success, reaching number 26 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.  It was the first RHCP song to chart.Bad Love by Eric ClaptonBruce brings us the second single from Clapton's eleventh solo studio album.  This is a comeback album, as Clapton had recently become sober after dealing with alcoholism.  It hit number 16 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.  This song features Phil Collins on percussion and backing vocals.  and would be awarded the Grammy for Best male Rock Vocal Performance in 1990. Good Work by the BoDeansWayne features a rockabilly party song from a Wisconsin group.  The BoDeans have been called roots rock, heartland rock, and alternative, but their retro 50's sound and driving live performance makes them a great band to see.  They performed extensively with U2 on The Joshua Tree tour, and remain popular in the US Midwest.The Last Worthless Evening by Don HenleyLynch closes out the staff picks with a hit from Henley's album "The End of the Innocence" that went to number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  The lyrics are a plea from an ex to just move on.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Pacific 202 by 808 StateThis Manchester electronic music group takes its name from the Roland TR 808 drum machine.

“Inspiration is the windfall from hard work and focus. Muses are too unreliable to keep on the payroll.” ― Helen Hanson A muse is a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist. I'd modify that definition slightly by saying a muse is any source of inspiration for creativity. Do you have a muse? Have you ever? Through the years of Leaning Toward Wisdom, I've talked about two that have occupied The Yellow Studio from the beginning - for over 22 years. Books. A guitar. Back in July, I started The Great Purge. Around 1,500 books exited The Yellow Studio, donated to the local library where I suspect the majority were sold in an annual sale to raise money for said library. The few I decided to keep - well under 100 titles - were boxed up and safely stored away for the next chapter of The Yellow Studio. By mid-August, whatever muse the books served was gone. Or was it? The books were gone, but any muse - source of inspiration - was far from gone. Sleep and the books were gone, but the inspiration was running wide open. I began to get on an unprecedented recording roll prompted by hours of writing. Feelings, phrases, words, quotes, lyrics, and photographs prompted the chasing of many ideas. I'm not saying any of them are good. You're clicking PLAY so you can decide that. I only know that I had more episode ideas brewing than ever. Usually, I'm working on 4-6 show ideas, half of which never see daylight. About half of them languish and never get fully developed. Suddenly, in the span of about a month I looked and realized I had about twenty drafts going - show ideas that had a title and at least a couple of paragraphs of notes. I began to look at the totality of them to figure out the ones I most wanted to push across the finish line. One idea begets another. It's always worked that way for me. There was no attempt to keep that habit in play though since I already had so many episode ideas to pursue. But it happened anyway. I'd sit here inside The Yellow Studio, headphones on listening to the BoDeans, or Dawes, or The Heavy Heavy, and start noodling on one idea - one draft. And a phrase or lyric would hit me, prompting me to open a new draft where I'd create a title. Just a title. Maybe one sentence to make note of what I was thinking of at the time. Then I'd go back to my original work. "Great! Now instead of finishing one idea, I've created yet another one," I'd think. Never mind. I'd trudge forward trying to finish at least one episode. I leaned into the process. Until I got COVID. My first foray with the virus. I'll forever blame my contracting it on my poor sleep habits, provoked mainly by all the changes I was planning. Changes I desired and changes I was looking forward to - but changes that were putting my mind on a higher octane than it had experienced in some time. My mind wasn't racing so much as it was doing cartwheels. I'm usually a bit more settled than that. But as we both know, we've never been HERE before. We've never been this age, in this place, in these circumstances, trying to do whatever it is we're trying to do. We're all in unchartered water as we enter a new day. Or night. I thought about the muse and my references to my two most-mentioned muses. The biggest muse - the one that required the most space and was the most obvious - was gone. I was no longer surrounded by all the book spines that had surrounded me for years. And I was happy about it. I never experienced the sadness or difficulty that I predicted. Before The Great Purge, I had dreaded it, fearing I'd struggle to decide which books to keep and which would go. However, on the first day of sorting, I found myself fully engaged to see how few I could keep and how many I could part with. I piled the books in the hallway just outside The Yellow Studio. At one end of the hall were the keepers. At the other end were the goers. It quickly became a game to see how small I could make...

Today on ‘Staring at the World' podcast, we sit down with Marc Malnati, to discuss some of our all time favorite pizza, Lou Malnatis and how it all came to be. Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati's Pizzerias, graduated from Indiana University in 1977, eight months before his father and founder, Lou, died of cancer.  Under Marc's leadership, Malnati's experienced tremendous growth, going from two pizzerias to over 60 throughout the Chicagoland area, along with outposts in Arizona, Indiana and Wisconsin.    Marc believes strongly that culture is the most critical part of a business and has built a relational business model which calls for investing time in the pursuit of personal and professional growth.  As a result, management turnover at Malnati's is only 7% in an industry where the norm is 30%.  In addition, 2020 was the 11th year in a row that Lou Malnati's was named one of the top workplaces by The Chicago Tribune and was named a National Top Workplace as well.    Marc received Chicagoan of the Year award from Chicago Magazine in 1996 for his involvement in the opening of a Lou Malnati's Pizzeria in Chicago's under-resourced Lawndale neighborhood.   He has appeared on many television programs, including The Talk, The Drew Barrymore Show, Steve Harvey, Food Network and defeating Bobby Flay in 2009 on his hit TV show “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” and the “Daily Show with Jon Stewart” for his attention grabbing challenge to Stewart, who criticized Chicago-style deep dish pizza.   Marc and Jeanne, his wife of 40 years, live in Chicago and have three adult children and four grandchildren.

In this episode, I sit down with Tessa Torrence Neumann, stepdaughter of Kurt Neumann, lead singer for the band BoDeans to discuss her suffering sexual abuse starting at the age of 9 and lasting for 6 years. Her perpetrator was her parents best friend, business partner, and bandmate who at the time was 40 years old. The negativity surrounding this abuse for Tessa carried over to other areas of her life where she became addicted to heroin at the age of 12.In this talk we not only learn about her experience with the grooming process, but discuss how other people connected to the victim are groomed as well.In addition, Tessa explains to us the misconception that abuse only happens in places with addiction, poverty, and low income families present. For her, she grew up living a normal life where her mother protected her and they lived in a neighborhood where you would never suspect anything like this was going on.To wrap up the interview, we gain perspective into Tessa's strength in speaking up about these issues and the threats and intimidation that came from that decision. But, we then are able to see how her strength paid off to bring her to where she is now. And that is having a happy family with a great husband and two kids, where she is devoted to them, her music, and the Strong Podcast which allows others to speak up about the injustices surrounding these issues.

Tessa grew up in the world of rock music as the stepdaughter of BoDeans founder Kurt Neumann. Now a mother and advocate, Tessa shares the story of how she was targeted, groomed, and abused by her stepfather's bandmate when she was just nine years old. After the extreme backlash and publicity her story received, Tessa knows just how powerful the words "I believe you" can be.Show notes:Listen to Tessa's podcast "Strong" here.Follow Tessa on Instagram.Follow the Strong Podcast on Instagram.Read the article where Tessa first shared her story with the public.Learn more about the Elizabeth Smart Foundation's We Believe You campaign.Support the show (https://www.elizabethsmartfoundation.org/donate)
