On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by returning friend of the show and Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning Morgan Neville to discuss this new documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run. What happens when you wake up the morning after leaving the most important rock band of all time? In April 1970, Paul released his first solo album, McCartney. When asked what he'd do next, he said his only plan was to grow up. Man on the Run captures Paul's transformative decade in the wake of The Beatles' break-up and the rise of his new band Wings. Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartney's exceptional photographs, and interviews with Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, Sean Ono Lennon, Mary, and Stella McCartney, all the living Wings members, and of course Paul himself, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens. Paul McCartney: Man on the Run is now streaming on Prime Video. Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.ca.

The black comedy thriller "How to Make a Killing" is inspired by the classic 1949 British film, "Kind Hearts and Coronets." But this version isn't quite sure what it wants to be. Glen Powell stars as an heir to a vast fortune who's been disowned by his callous family. He plots to bump off all his relatives who stand in the way of his inheritance. The audience is challenged to root for a guy who's obviously ethically challenged and Powell's charisma is a big help in that department. It's modestly funny, but the tone shifts in “How to Make a Killing” are so jarring that it may give audiences a case of whiplash. As a companion piece to his 2022 hit "Elvis," director Baz Luhrmann offers his first documentary, the concert film, "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert." Using previously unseen footage stored in a Kansas salt mine, Luhrmann creates a hybrid film that mixes concerts, rehearsals, press conferences and backstage footage into a riveting showcase. For the uninitiated, “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert” demonstrates why Presley was such a dynamic and popular performer. Paul McCartney's traumatic post-Beatles years are the focus of the involving Amazon Prime documentary, "Man on the Run.” It serves as a companion to McCartney's new book about his time with Wings. Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville skillfully sorts through a ton of footage to assemble a thoughtful look at both the considerable misfires as well as the tremendous successes McCartney experienced in the 1970s. Interviews with McCartney, his family as well as folks like Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde and Sean Lennon, make “Man on the Run” an enlightening and entertaining overview.
Einzigartig ist seine Musik, und die seiner Band Rio 18, wenn Bossa Nova und Salsa Songs auf walisisch gesungen werden. Dass gerade Chrissie Hynde von den Pretenders und seine Musiklehrerin einen maßgeblichen Anteil daran hatten, hat der Musiker Carwyn Ellis, Gerald Travnicek erzählt. (superfly.fm)
Vous connaissez ce morceau ? C'est un des tubes de Grace Jones et qui est en fait un titre signé Chrissie Hynde, enregistré sur le premier album des Pretenders. Il faut dire qu'à partir du milieu des années 70, Chrissie a fréquenté tout le monde. Tout d'abord elle a travaillé dans le magasin de Vivien Westwood et Malcolm McLaren, l'homme qui va inventer les Sex Pistols. Dans le quartier de sa coloc habite un gars nommé Captain Sensible ; il vit toujours chez ses parents mais son groupe, les Damned, c'est quelque chose. Il y a toute la bande des Sex Pistols, évidemment, et puis bien sûr, les Clash. Seul bémol, aucun de ces groupes ne veut d'une fille comme guitariste. Chrissie en rêve pourtant. Enfin, disons plutôt qu'elle remise à y rêver. C'est vrai, à 23 - 24 ans, on ne démarre plus une carrière dans le rock'n'roll ! La trentaine approche et on ne connaît aucun rocker digne de ce nom qui a la trentaine ? Oui, Elvis mais il est fini, retraité à Vegas !Alors oui, Chrissie arrive à se faire adopter par un groupe ou l'autre mais bon, soit ils n'arrivent pas à trouver le moindre concert, soit ça part en eau de boudin comme ce jour où elle découvre dans une petite annonce que son groupe cherche un nouveau guitariste. Elle téléphone au numéro indiqué et à l'autre bout du fil, un membre du groupe lui dit, merde, il a complètement oublié de lui dire qu'elle était virée. Rock'n'roll, hein ? D'autant plus qu'elle sera la seule à appeler pour l'annonce.Heureusement que les Clash l'invitent à les accompagner sur leur première tournée nationale. C'est un grand moment de joie et de rigolade sur la route, dans les cercles d'étudiants où ils enchaînent les verres après avoir mis le feu à toute une salle. Car il fallait voir ce que c'était la scène punk, ska, reggae dans les années 70 en Grande-Bretagne : les Clash, Jam ou Police faire pogoter un hall entier plein à craquer, comme un seul homme.Car Joe Strummer, le leader charismatique du groupe, n'était pas qu'un gars dont le but était de s'éclater jour et nuit, il avait un véritable message social, une idéologie face à un monde qui exploitait les masses en leur racontant ce qu'elles veulent entendre pour mieux les utiliser. On sortait gonflé à bloc d'un concert des Clash, on le sentait que le monde allait changer parce qu'on le voulait, qu'on était la génération qui un jour serait à la place des vieux.Oh il y a bien ce gars, Tony, un patron de label de disques qui ayant entendu qu'il y avait une guitariste américaine : il voudrait la produire mais elle lui a répondu OK mais le jour où j'aurai un groupe.Quelques semaines plus tard, alors qu'elle est en train de laver les vitres de la personne qui l'héberge, Chrissie voit passer sur Portobello Road un musicien que Lemmy, le leader de Mötörhead, lui a recommandé. Il lui a décrit son look d'enfer avec jean moulant, perfecto et ceinture à clous. Ça ne peut être que lui ! Chrissie se bat avec le bow window pour l'ouvrir, passe la tête par la fenêtre et hurle Hé, c'est toi Gass Wild ? Qui le demande ? Ça te dit de jouer dans un groupe ? Ouais mais j'ai plus de batterie. T'inquiète, j'en trouverai une, monte ! Chrissie lance un trousseau de clés depuis l'étage : ainsi que commence la fabuleuse histoire des Pretenders.
Ceux qui ont assisté à la première apparition de Chrissie Hynde à la télé dans le clip de Brass in Pocket fin 1979 - début 80, savent de quoi je parle : on a été charmé, à défaut d'avoir été vachement ému. Mais ce qu'on ignore bien sûr à cette époque, c'est que la serveuse qu'elle incarne pour illustrer cette magnifique chanson qui nous tombe dessus comme une révélation, c'est que ce n'est pas un rôle de composition.Car Chrissie a bien travaillé dans l'horeca. Vous voyez ces rades, restos routiers, genre Breakfast in America, avec ces femmes en tablier blanc sur une robe rouge avec un filet dans les cheveux, donnant du “vous le voulez à la fraise ou à la banane votre milk shake ? Grand, moyen ou petit ?” Oh et bien sûr, au fil des jobs dans la ville universitaire de Kent dans l'Ohio dont elle a aussi fréquenté les bancs, elle a aussi connu la “jupe noire et chemise blanche” où là, c'était : “votre steak, à point ou saignant ?”.Chrissie était étudiante en art, enfin un peu, mais elle rêvait surtout d'une chose : l'Angleterre. Ça peut paraître fou pour une Américaine, la terre d'Elvis Presley et Bill Haley mais depuis les années 60, la capitale du rock, c'est Londres. Et c'est surtout les filles qui en rêvent pour une bonne raison. Chrissie a ainsi au milieu des années 60 possédé tout le brol de produits dérivés que les Amerloques ont créés autour des Beatles. Elle a tout jeté à la poubelle lors de ses 16 ans comme d'autres générations l'ont fait avec les Spice Girls ou les Pokemon. Et même si elle le regrette aujourd'hui, elle n'a par contre pas raté son rendez-vous avec ses rêves d'adolescente. A l'âge de 21 ans, elle est partie.Arriver à Londres en 1973, pour une Américaine, c'est un choc. Premièrement, il faut apprendre à être poli avec les commerçants, on dit d'abord bonjour comment ça va, et puis s'il vous plaît aussi. On ne demande pas la salle de bains pour aller aux toilettes, le métro, c'est un tube. Et puis aussi, les gens sont tous minces, les parents écoutent la même musique pop que les mômes dans les pubs, on n'y vend pas de vin ni de Tequila mais de la bière crèmeuse ou du whisky. Et puis c'est là qu'on va commencer à l'appeler Chrissie au lieu de Christine ou Chris.Par contre, où sont passées toutes les filles en mini jupes couleurs flashy et les mecs en costards hyper chics, les Mods, les psychédéliques ? Chrissie est arrivée trop tard pour voir l'Angleterre qu'elle avait rêvée étant ado en regardant les photos dans les magazines. Les Beatles ne sont plus là, les filles sont amoureuses de chanteurs glam rock comme Gary Glitter et Slade mais attention, pas de garçons dans les colocs après 22 heures ! Mais bon, malgré le décalage avec l'Amérique, Chrissie adore la ville qu'elle découvre. Les gens surtout. On peut devenir ami avec quelqu'un en parlant à un arrêt de bus, comme ça ! Et attention, c'est une vraie conversation, pas un étalage de phrases convenues, comme dans son pays d'origine. Non, vraiment, si un Américain à Paris, c'est fait depuis longtemps, une Américaine à Londres, ça commence aujourd'hui. Chrissie va entrer partout, fréquenter et jouer avec les membres des Kinks, des Clash ou futurs Culture Club, bref, elle va être la petite fiancée des punks, autant dire qu'elle ne verra pas souvent son lit.
Ce 22 septembre 1972 est une date que la jeune Christine Hynde n'oubliera jamais. Cela fait plus un an qu'elle a découvert un type extraordinaire grâce à un album : David Bowie. Un album qui parle d'un tas de choses, de littérature et de contre culture, sur une musique à nulle autre pareille … (Life on Mars ?). Elle en parle à tout le monde, y compris ses collègues serveuses, car elle jobbe pour financer ses activités, les études ne l'intéressent plus du tout.Et bien figurez-vous que c'est dans son trou perdu de l'Ohio que David Bowie alias Ziggy Stardust va donner son tout premier concert aux Etats-Unis. La voilà partie avec sa meilleure copine, Sue, pour Cleveland, c'est pas loin, dans la voiture de sa mère. Chrissie, 21 ans à peine, adore les concerts. Elle aime TOUT dans les concerts, y compris l'ambiance avant et après. Et donc, arrivée très tôt et patientant dans le froid, elle entend le groupe répéter quelques morceaux pour la balance. Et peu de temps après, que voit-elle ? David Bowie en Ziggy, immédiatement reconnaissable avec ses cheveux rouges, sortir à pied avec son entourage pour se rendre àl'hôtel.Vêtu d'un blouson vert et un jean sur ses plateformes, il passe à moins d'un mètre d'elle, comme dans un rêve. Puis, au moment de traverser la rue, il se retourne, la voit, semble hésiter, puis regarde de l'autre côté en disant quelque chose. Un de ses gardes du corps, du moins c'est ce qu'elle croit, le plus beau en plus, propose à sa copine et elle, de les accompagner. Chrissie n'a pas à se retourner, c'est bien à elles qu'il parle, il n'y a qu'elles deux sur ce trottoir. Pourtant avec leurs fringues en laine torsadée, elles n'ont pas le profil de fans de Ziggy.C'est tremblante d'émotion que Chrissie entre dans la suite du groupe anglais. Elle meurt d'envie d'engager la conversation alors, sans regarder Bowie, enfin Ziggy, dans les yeux, elle lui dit que le public de Cleveland va l'adorer s'il chante le titre de Lou Reed et du Velvet Underground qu'ils ont joué à la répétition. Ah, on va peut-être la faire, alors, répond Bowie en plaisantant. Il joue ce titre chaque soir, mais comment le saurait-elle ?L'histoire devient vertigineuse quand il lui demande si elle connaît un chouette endroit pour aller manger, carrément dingue quand elle abaisse le siège passager de la voiture de sa mère pour qu'il monte à l'arrière. David Bowie dans l'Oldsmobile de sa maman, elle rêve !C'est d'autant plus incroyable que ce à quoi Chrissie va assister ce soir-là est un show comme on n'en a jamais vu et qui va influencer des générations de musiciens. Quinze jours plus tard, Chrissie le rejoint sur un autre concert, à Detroit, même extase, et quand la salle se vide, Chrissie reste comme à son habitude pour prolonger la vibration et s'approche de la scène où s'activent les roadies.Allez Chris, faut y aller, dit Sue. Et là, dans le parterre, au milieu du personnel, un grand blond shote dans des gobelets, désabusé. C'est Iggy Pop ! Chrissie est pétrifiée quand il plante ses yeux verts dans les siens. A-t-il deviné qu'elle est sa plus grande fan ? En tout cas, Chrissie ne sortira pas un mot dans la voiture au cours des 100 miles du chemin de retour.
L'actualité nous fait sans cesse tourner les yeux vers l'Amérique. Et les images que nous avons reçues de Minneapolis, Los Angeles ou Chicago ne sont pas sans rappeler les mouvements de la jeunesse des années 60 contre la guerre au Vietnam et pour les droits civiques.Ainsi ce jour maudit du 4 mai 1970 est-il entré dans l'Histoire contemporaine américaine. Nous sommes sur le campus de la Kent State University. Kent est une jolie ville de 25.000 habitants au sud de Cleveland dans l'Ohio, à mi-chemin entre Chicago et Washington. C'est sur les bancs de l'Université de Kent, une petite fac pas très regardante sur ses notes moyennes de secondaire, que la jeune Chrissie Hynde a finalement trouvé la voie de l'enseignement supérieur. En clair, elle ne s'est pas encore fait virer de ses cours, ce qui pour elle, qui n'en touche pas une, pas plus que le strict nécessaire, est un exploit.C'est pour ses parents qu'elle fait des études car elle n'a d'intérêt que pour deux choses : la musique rock et la défonce. Et puis son statut de jeune Américaine qui va, avec des centaines de milliers de ses semblables, changer l'horrible monde des adultes. Ces gens qui ne pensent pas à vivre, seulement à gagner de l'argent, d'en amasser, pour ne rien en faire. Et dans les années 60, c'est aussi un monde qui impose le cauchemar au présent de sa génération en l'envoyant se faire tuer dans l'enfer d'une guerre lointaine qui n'est pas la sienne.Alors elle proteste. Sauf que le Give Peace a Chance de John Lennon, c'est bien gentil, mais c'est pas ça qui va faire entendre raison au président Nixon qui envoie tous ces jeunes au Vietnam et à présent, au Cambodge ! C'en est trop, le 2 mai, les étudiants mettent le feu avec des fusées éclairantes au bâtiment en bois des officiers de réserve sur le campus de Kent. La garde nationale intervient, c'est la pagaille, Chrissie s'en sort de justesse, et oui, elle en est. Mais le surlendemain, lors d'une nouvelle manifestation malgré le couvre-feu imposé, les soldats qui gardent les cendres du bâtiment incendié tirent sur la foule.Des gens tombent, des ambulances arrivent, il y a des morts, entend-elle crier. Chrissie est dégrisée. Elle regarde ces militaires qui sont des jeunes gosses de 19-20 ans, comme elle, et qui ont l'air tout aussi surpris par ces coups de feu. Elle s'assied et reste prostrée, figée, en contestation, quand des mains la saisissent. Et pendant qu'on l'emmène de force, Chrissie se dit qu'elle ne reconnaît plus son pays. Le lendemain, le campus est vidé, les étudiants sont renvoyés chez eux, entassés dans des voitures qui alimentent des bouchons vers Chicago, Philadelphie, New York. Le Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll semble être la solution immédiate face à ce monde qu'elle ne peut plus voir, les sixties qui ont vu fleurir son adolescence sont bien terminées. Et pourtant, au bout de cette errance que vont être les années 70, il y aura les Pretenders.
Je n'aurais pas pu raconter tout ça du vivant de mes parents. Ainsi commencent les mémoires de la voix des Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde, une des plus grandes figures féminines du rock'n'roll, cette musique qui fait vibrer le monde depuis 70 ans.Apparue dans un clip à la toute fin des années 70 en serveuse de coffee shop dans cette Angleterre qui s'apprêtait une nouvelle fois à devenir la vitrine du monde avec à présent, la New Wave, on la croyait logiquement Britannique. Chrissie était en fait Américaine, originaire de l'Ohio, elle vivait en Angleterre depuis six ans avec une longue parenthèse parisienne.Comme Debbie Harry et Blondie, Chrissie est un pur produit du mouvement punk américain de la fin des années 60. Il suffit de citer les noms d'Iggy Pop et de Lou Reed, les deux plus célèbres icônes, pour qu'on comprenne à quel point le rock'n'roll était à l'époque un mode de vie destroy.Et Chrissie Hynde en a été. Sauf que son parcours dans l'ombre a été très long, faisant d'elle un témoin rare et privilégié de cette époque où le punk s'est installé à Londres. Un mouvement que les British vont s'approprier pour le mettre à leur sauce, l'histoire se répétait dix ans après les Beatles et les Stones. C'est vrai, c'est tout juste si les gens savent que cette musique est née en Amérique tellement l'empreinte de groupes comme les Clash et les Sex Pistols a définitivement associé le mot punk à l'Angleterre à coups de God Save the Queen et de London Calling.Pas étonnant donc que la voix de Chrissie Hynde ne soit pas sortie d'un squat de New York mais d'un studio londonien. A la Noël 1979, quand Brass in Pocket passe partout à la radio et à la télé en Europe et en Amérique, elle vit toujours sans le moindre penny. Une coloc à Covent Garden avec un matelas par terre, une guitare, quelques vêtements et un radio cassette, le truc le plus cher qu'elle ait possédé jusque-là. Et encore, un cadeau.Ses colocataires et elle ont reçu un avis d'expulsion, les cartons seront vite faits. Dans quinze jours, ce titre dont Chrissie était la seule du groupe à ne pas vouloir le sortir tel quel, sera N°1 mais rien ne changera. Elle ne s'écoutera pas à la radio, ne se regardera pas à la télé et ne jettera jamais un œil sur le montant de son compte en banque. La célébrité, ce n'est pas pour elle, c'est une cage dorée. Elle, la rockeuse, veut être libre de sortir, prendre le métro, faire la fête avec qui elle veut, quand elle le veut, sans être désignée du doigt le lendemain en découvrant une photo ou un article désobligeant dans la presse. Maman, Papa, je suis désolée d'avoir menti sur ce que j'ai fait durant tout ce temps où j'ai été partie. Je sais que vous étiez fiers de moi. Je regrette la moitié de mon histoire, la seconde, c'est la musique que vous avez entendue …
Adele Bertei got a Greyhound to New York in 1977 intent on joining a band. James Chance thought she “looked like a pimp” and hired her as the organist in the Contortions, an instrument she couldn't play. Her memoir No New York captures the most intoxicating times imaginable, the rise of Blondie, Talking Heads, Television, Madonna and her fellow raft of No Wave cheerleaders in pursuit of dismantling music. Highlights include … … the local priest recommending the Velvet Underground when she was 11 … “imbibe and dream”: her weekend with Lester Bangs … the rubble-filled New York wasteland of 1977, landlords setting fire to property just to claim the insurance … the No Wave circuit: crowd violence and singers who either talked or screamed .. her rivalry with Madonna: “our labels didn't want people to know we were white” … the local Cleveland “Rust Belt” - Pere Ubu, Chrissie Hynde, Devo … why Warhol, Ginsberg and Burroughs seemed laughably outmoded … Brian Eno's shopping list … the power of Tina Weymouth, Patti Smith and Debbie Harry (“sexy but with a snarl”) and why New York's venues are internationally mythical.

It's time for 'The Long Way Home'.From the late Michael Apted, and restored from the only existing 16mm print, supervised by producer Steven Lawrence and editor Susanne Rostock. 'The Long Way Home: Remastered and Expanded (2026) is a revealing, rollicking portrait of the Soviet underground rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov, who became the first to record in the West during the early, optimistic days of Glasnost. The film features Boris Grebenshchikov, Dave Stewart and members of legendary Russian rock band Aquarium, with special appearances by Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, Crosby, Stills & Nash and many more.Playing this coming Wednesday at To Save and Project: The 22nd MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation this is an event that is a must see if you're in New York.We got to talk with producer Steven Lawrence about restoring this story, the additional epilogue he shot with Boris, working with Michael Apted, this films place in Rock Doc lore and so very much more....
Aaron Tap and Paula Kelley joined Wayne and Ben for another episode....only to have to rejoin Ben to record the episode again. Find out why Wayne IS NOT on this episode. Paula's discusses her new album "Blinking as the Starlight Burns Out" and then we dive into "Dusty in Memphis" from the legendary Dusty Springfield. Plenty of other discussion including Goffin & King, Randy Newman, second guessing yourself, smoldering, UB40 and Chrissie Hynde, the Carpenters, and much more.

In this episode of She's All Over the Place, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit and chat with the producer, Steven Lawrence, to explore The Long Way Home: Remastered and Expanded (2026) Michael Apted's long-lost documentary about Soviet underground rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov and his extraordinary 1988 journey from Leningrad to the West during the early days of Glasnost. Filmed at a moment of rare optimism inside the USSR, the documentary follows Grebenshchikov as he records an album with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), alongside Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, becoming one of the first Soviet musicians to collaborate openly with Western rock stars. Remastered in 4K with new 5.1 sound and expanded with a newly created epilogue, the film now brings Boris's story up to the present: his disillusionment with post-Soviet Russia, his outspoken opposition to Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, and his eventual exile from his homeland. We discuss the film's disappearance for more than three decades, its rediscovery through MoMA's Film Preservation Festival, and why The Long Way Home now feels less like a period piece and more like a warning, a memory, and a testament to the enduring power of music to resist censorship and tyranny.

Selena Fragassi publishes more books before 9am than most people do all day. Just last year, the always hustling music writer and journalist wrote and published books about Alanis Morissette, Sabrina Carpenter, Greta Gerwig AND her latest: PEARL JAM LIVE — a hefty and thorough tome covering the band's 35 year history as one of the world's best live acts (it also features a forward written by Scott, but we digress). In between all the manic book writing, Selena somehow finds time for her regular gigs writing for the Chicago Sun Times, monthly appearances on WFLD 32 and contributing to every publication and outlet from SPIN to Loudwire. This week we talk to Selena about life moments with Cameron Crowe, fan letters to Donnie Wahlberg, looking Chrissie Hynde in the eye, what to do when Jim DeRogatis trashes all your favorite bands, the ineffable awesomeness of Bonnie Raitt, the sue-happy UN-awesomeness of Gene Simmons, and getting mammogram advice from Debbie Harry. Pretty awesome. PLUS: Ben gets gonged and our buddy John Oakes calls in with a report from the front lines in Minneapolis.
In this episode, I sit down with drummer Paul Stewart for a conversation that starts with how music can connect people across oceans and turns into a deep dive on taste, touch, craft, and the long arc of a career. Paul and I talk about how I first discovered his band The Feeling years ago from a CD a friend handed me after a gig, and how that one listen turned into a long-term appreciation for the songs, the playing, and the production. Paul shares why so many musicians connected with that sound, and how their work pulled from both the 70s world of Supertramp, 10CC, Elton John, and Fleetwood Mac, and the deeper 60s roots that fed that era, like The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, and The Zombies. We get into drum sound, why that thuddy, dead 70s tone fits their music so well, and how those choices shaped the identity of the recordings.Paul walks me through his origin story, from being hooked on drum sound as a kid, to getting his first kit at 12, to saying yes to every playing opportunity he could find. He tells an incredible story about a middle school teacher who stayed late after school so Paul could get extra time in the drum room, and we zoom out on how mentors, parents, and supportive educators change the course of a life. From there, we talk about preparation, professionalism, and the responsibility you carry in an ensemble, including how the anxiety of being underprepared can be its own lesson in why doing the work matters. Paul also shares a regret he has about not keeping his reading chops sharper, and why playing along with records became his true north as a drummer.We dig into influences from both sides of Paul's musical world, from rock and early Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, to the cassette tapes an uncle sent that opened the door to jazz, funk, fusion, and players like Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, and the Tower of Power world. Paul explains how the UK acid jazz scene became a significant pull, and how an acid jazz band at music college eventually evolved into The Feeling. We also talk about what it's like working with major artists outside the band, including how touring logistics can lead to local musicians being hired, and how surreal it can be to play iconic songs with legendary voices while still remembering they're just musicians on stage doing the same job.A meaningful part of our conversation is about performance anxiety, stage fright, and the emotional extremes musicians ride before, during, and after gigs. We talk honestly about confidence, coping, and what it means to choose a healthier path, and we acknowledge that even global superstars can struggle with fear right before walking on stage. Paul and I also reflect on the approaching anniversary of The Feeling's first album, how those songs were originally recorded as a weekend friends project without any expectation of success, and how playing them now carries twenty years of growth, finesse, and perspective while still honoring the original parts that make the songs work. We close with what Paul has been up to recently, including work with Anastacia, Paul Young, The Voice UK, and the broader creative world around the band, and why music remains a powerful source of joy, balance, and hope for people everywhere.Music from the Episode:Never Be Lonely (The Feeling)Everyday and All of the Night (The Feeling)Sun Won't Shine (The Feeling)I Want You Now (The Feeling)Thank you for listening.

"Vuelven las Navidades", cantaba Tom Petty y sus Rompecorazones en "Unas navidades muy especiales" (1992) Nuestro ya clásico programa de "El sueño se ha acabado" en estas fechas con el Doctor Soul, nos lleva al recuerdo sorprendente que hacen de estos días, artistas que poco tienen que ver con lo que celebramos. Nos nos referimos al oportunismo comercial de aquellos que quieren aprovechar la ocasión para vender más discos, sino a músicos que nunca imaginaríamos que harían una canción de Navidad, porque se supone que odian estas fechas. José de Segovia habla del mensaje de la Encarnación por que la que Dios viene a salvar pecadores con Luis Lapuente. Lo hacemos en relación con cantantes muertos trágicamente, como Tom Petty (1950-2017) por sobredosis o el músico de jazz Chet Baker, (1929-1988), destrozado por la droga, que agonizó de dolor, caído de una ventana de un hotel de Amsterdam. Aunque hay muchas canciones sobre Papa Noel, ninguna como la que le dedicaron los Kinks al pobre hombre que hacía de Santa Claus delante de unos grandes almacenes. Si hay alguien conocido por sus excesos en la cultura francesa, ese es Gainsbourg, que rememora la Navidad del 67 con Michel Colomber. Si el grupo británico de los hermanos Davies, The Kinks, ha marcado la vida de Luis Lapuente, el de Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, está en el origen de la introducción de José de Segovia por su ya fallecido primo Manuel Fernández en el conocimiento exhaustivo de la música pop. Escuchamos su "Canción de Navidad" con su visión "dickensiana" de la hipocresía de estas fechas para con los que sufren pobreza y privación. No podía faltar tampoco en esta ocasión el clásico contemporáneo de unas navidades alternativas de The Pogues. Su "Cuento de Navidad" (Fairytale in New York) nos introduce en la sorprendente fe del alcohólico Shane MacGowan y su temor a perder la Gracia (If I Fall From Grace 1988). Algunos pasan estos días viajando, pero ningún sitio más extraño que el aeropuerto en Navidad, como nos recuerda Nick Lowe (Christmas At The Airport) en su sorprendente álbum de Navidad en 2013. La más dura de las canciones que conocemos sobre estas fechas podría ser la "Tarjeta de Navidad de una prostituta en Minneapolis" de Tom Waits en 1978, una dosis de realismo sobrecogedora. Sus falsos mensajes de paz y armonía son satirizados por los Ramones en su "¡Feliz Navidad! No quiero pelear esta noche!" (1989), pero para muchos, estas fechas son simplemente la ocasión para conocer a la persona que deseas, como en "Esta Navidad" (1970) del cantante de "soul" Donny Hathaway, que acabó también cayendo de una ventana en Nueva York por su enfermedad mental. "La Navidad de Luis" (1973) de León Gieco es probablemente el clásico alternativo de estas fechas del "rock nacional" argentino. Su dictadura militar llevó a Gieco al exilio forzado en los años 70, pero al músico británico de la Velvet Underground de Nueva York, John Cale, lde vuelta mentalmente a su Galés natal (Child´s Christmas In Wales 1973) en su evocación de "Paris 1919". Muchos creen que las "2000 Millas"(1983) es una canción de Navidad, cuando lo que refleja es el duelo de Chrissie Hynde por la muerte por sobredosis de su compañero y guitarrista de Pretenders, James Honeyman-Scott. Si a muchos les recuerdan estas fiestas los seres queridos que ya han perdido, para otros es la molesta perspectiva de volver a tener reunirse con esos familiares molestos, como el del "Villancico para mi cuñado Fernando" de Love Of Lesbian en 2007. Acabamos el programa con el deseo de John Lennon y Yoko Ono de una "Feliz Navidad" (Happy Xmas 1971) en que Cristo traiga "la paz el mundo no da" (Juan 14:27).

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Carlo “from Canada” Sgro discuss Carlo's Phone-a-Friend selection, Version 2.0 by Garbage, and sample Carlo's choice of three Canadian porters: Stranger Than Fiction from Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton, Ontario; Clifford Porter from Clifford Brewing Co. in Hamilton, Ontario; and Vanilla Porter from Side Launch Brewing Company in Collingwood, Ontario.Abigail always gets Collective Arts confused with Untitled Art in Waunakee, Wisconsin. Barry always gets it confused with Counterpart Brewing in Niagara Falls, Ontario.Carlo told the story of Shirley Manson calling Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders to ask permission to use the lyrics “We were the talk of the town” in Special, since Manson had pulled those lyrics from The Pretenders' Talk of the Town. Hynde agreed, and did not ask for any credit or royalties, before even having heard Special, and rumor had it she was flattered by the ask.Hammering in My Head reminded Barry of Leave by R.E.M.Barry heard elements of both The Munsters theme and The Beach Boys' Don't Worry Baby in Push It. Unfortunately, he cannot claim credit at the AHSOSSAM for this find, as Garbage credited The Beach Boys for those lyrics and melody. Listen to our exploration of The Munsters Theme's many different iterations in last year's Halloween episode, New Belgium Halloween (New Wave Halloween & New Belgium Brewing)!Listen to Carlo's cleaning playlist!The Trick Is To Keep Breathing reminded Barry of Try Not to Breathe by R.E.M.

One of our favorite returning guests, Miami drag icon Shelley Novak (aka Tommy Strangie), joins us to once again explore his life-long obsession with all things Chrissie Hynde as we discuss The Pretenders and their third studio album, 1984s 'Learning To Crawl'. "Now come on, baby Get in the road..." Songs discussed in this episode: Absent Minded Me - Chrissie Hynde; Tommy Strangie - The Boas; Cuban Slide, Middle Of The Road - The Pretenders; Long Long Time - Linda Ronstadt; Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders; Working In The Coal Mine - Lee Dorsey; Mystery Achievement, Time The Avenger, Watching The Clothes, Show Me - The Pretenders; Vicar In A Tutu - The Smiths; Thumbelina - The Pretenders; Life In A Northern Town - The Dream Academy; Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat; My City Was Gone - The Pretenders; Thin Line Between Love And Hate - The Persuaders; Tempted - Squeeze; Thin Line Between Love And Hate, I Hurt You - The Pretenders; Tell Laura I Love Her - Ray Peterson; Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, 2000 Miles - The Pretenders; Tommy Strangie - The Boas; Back On The Chain Gang (Pretenders cover) - Morrissey
Love comes in many forms - sometimes confrontational. Today's episode is a paean to a couple of dominating dames that lit up the punk scene in the late 70s. Johnny Rotten once stated that the only person that actually frightened him was the gone too soon, Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex. That product of a Somali father and a British mother railed against consumerist culture, and her band's career might have been short lived, but their single, Oh Bondage, Up Yours! with it's bleating saxophone cavalry charge, blown by band mate Lora Logic, was a battle cry to aspiring Riot Grrls everywhere.The other indomitable mistress we wish to spotlight, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, is still rocking 50 years later. This survivor from America's Midwest by way of England, - this vegetarian restauranteur/punk legend, who fronted one of the most thrilling acts of the era, scored multiple hits across the pop spectrum, including this classic, Middle of the Road.X-RAY SPEXMarianne Joan Elliot-Said died prematurely at age 53, but she lived abundantly, migrating through several personae. Early on, she was a hippie, sleeping in crash pads and nearly dying from sepsis, which she contracted from stepping on a rusty nail while bathing in a stream. Later, inspired by seeing the Sex Pistols, she had found her calling. Choosing her moniker from the Yellow Pages, wearing braces on her teeth and Day-Glo outfits, she became a sensation. Like a comet, she streaked across the pop firmament and burnt out quickly, being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1978. She pursued a gentler and jazzier sound for her subsequent solo recordings, and in '83 became a Hare Krishna and a vegetarian. In February 2011 she revealed that she had been treated for breast cancer that had spread to her spine and lungs. She died later that year, yet in her short life she accomplished the nearly impossible: cultural immortality. THE PRETENDERSThe guitar signature, driven by Robbie McIntosh on 1983's Middle of the Road by The Pretenders creates an irresistible force, defining a clear road map for singer, Chrissie Hynde. It feels like she's behind the wheel, with the high beams on, going 120, roaring through the Ohio night, around the bend of a Rust Belt highway. She was already 33, and a single mother, as she tells us in the song. With one fist held high, she assures us that she'll be a survivor, and there's no shame in that. She's listed by Rolling Stone as 114 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of all time, and at 74, she's still going strong - still driving that muscle car of rock. This woman has ageless style and charisma. She is also a citizen of Great Britain, having moved there initially in '73, and almost marrying Johnny Rotten, Sid vicious, and Ray Davies (she has a daughter by the Kink). After several misfires trying to start a band, her solo demo tape made it's way to Dave Hill, the owner of Real Records who helped her put the original Pretenders line up together, and the rest, as they say is “Herstory”.

Coming from a challenging, working class upbringing in the United Kingdom, Steve Jones discovered his outlet in music - as founding guitarist of the groundbreaking punk rock band the Sex Pistols. Despite the release of only one album,”Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” the band changed the course of music and history - vocalizing issues of class in songs like “Anarchy in the U.K.” – and influencing fashion, art and society. Since then, Jones has continued to play music (both solo and with bands The Professionals and Neurotic Outsiders) and was the host of the popular, long-running radio show, “Jonesy’s Jukebox.” In 2022, his insightful memoir, “Lonely Boy,” was adapted into the FX television series, the Danny Boyle-directed “Pistol.” Steve Jones talks to host Alec Baldwin about the roots of punk rock, coming up alongside Vivienne Westwood and Chrissie Hynde, and the road to getting clean – and beginning life anew.

Episode 428 of Friends Talking Nerdy is a celebration of women who didn't just rock the stage but bent the rules of the game, reshaped culture, and left scorch marks on the history of music. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into their favorite women rock and roll stars, not just rattling off names but unpacking what made these artists lightning rods for change.The conversation moves track by track like a lovingly curated mixtape, which they made availble on YouTube. They start with Pat Benatar's anthemic “We Belong,” discussing how Benatar combined powerhouse vocals with a sense of vulnerability that made her a radio staple without softening her edge. From there, they barrel into the raw energy of Janis Joplin's “Move Over,” talking about how Joplin embodied a feral, unapologetic energy that made her voice feel like a declaration of war. Kathleen Hanna and Le Tigre's “Much Finer” prompts Aubrey to bring in the riot grrrl movement, with Tim marveling at how Hanna's blend of activism and art feels more vital now than ever.When Jefferson Airplane's “Somebody to Love” comes up, they highlight Grace Slick's psychedelic snarl and how she stood toe-to-toe with the male counterculture icons of her era. Joan Jett's “Bad Reputation” naturally gets both of them fired up—Tim noting how Jett weaponized punk's simplicity, while Aubrey points out that her career longevity is proof she wasn't just a “bad girl” novelty. They lean into Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen,” marveling at her voice's mythic qualities and the way she carved out her own witchy rock persona that still resonates across generations.From The Pretenders' “Back on the Chain Gang” to Blondie's “One Way or Another,” the hosts highlight the unique blend of grit and sophistication Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry brought to the table. Tina Turner's “Private Dancer” inspires a passionate sidebar on resilience, survival, and the way Turner reinvented herself against impossible odds. And Hole's “Celebrity Skin” brings the discussion full circle, with Aubrey making the case that Courtney Love's voice—half sneer, half scream—was a necessary counterweight to the sanitized pop machine of the late ‘90s.After the amps cool down, the duo pivot to television, giving their first impressions of South Park's Season 27 debut. They note how the new season takes aim at the current American political landscape with a sharpness and weird clarity the show hasn't always nailed in recent years. Tim points out that the difference between South Park's take on the first Trump Administration years and now is like night and day—back then, the writers seemed shell-shocked, unsure how to lampoon chaos that already felt like satire. Professor Aubrey adds that the new season feels more like the show's golden years, where cultural absurdity is filtered through the bizarre but laser-focused worldview of four Colorado kids. Together, they agree that this season might mark a creative resurgence for the long-running series.The episode balances music history and cultural commentary with the usual Friends Talking Nerdy flavor—part nerdy scholarship, part passionate fan energy. By the end, listeners get both a playlist of iconic women who changed the sound of rock forever and a thoughtful dive into how South Park still finds a way to speak to the strange moment we're all living through.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song. Head to his website for information on how to purchase his EP, Here's To You, which is available on all digital platforms.Head to Friends Talking Nerdy's website for more information on where to find us online.

In this highly scientific and not at all petty episode of Past Tens, Dave and Milt throw down in the only arena that really matters anymore: pop culture debates. It's the Past Tens Riff-Off, where no sacred cow is safe, every cow is delicious, and every opinion is shouted like it's 1986 and you just lost your cassingles collection. The format? Timed debates. The stakes? Imaginary. The judgment? Left up to you, our dear listeners with way too much time on your hands. From Freddie Mercury vs. Mick Jagger (tight pants vs. tighter pants) to the eternal dilemma of whether a hot dog is a sandwich (it's not, calm down), Dave and Milt spar over music, movies, TV, theme park rides, game show hosts, and more. Along the way, you'll hear grunts, woos, awkward impersonations, and the occasional moment of clarity. Then you vote on our Facebook page to settle the debates because we're way too biased to be trusted. Timestamps for your convenience (or if you're hate-skimming): 00:00 – Welcome to Past Tens (you know the drill) 00:56 – Warning: Musical debates ahead 01:56 – The Riff-Off explained (kind of) 05:43 – Debate 1: Freddie Mercury vs. Mick Jagger (glam vs. strut) 11:26 – Debate 2: Pirates of the Caribbean vs. Space Mountain (eyeliner vs. nausea) 18:40 – Debate 3: Chrissie Hynde vs. Stevie Nicks (scowl vs. shawl) 24:20 – Debate 4: Top Gun ‘86 vs. Maverick ‘22 (volleyball vs. trauma) 29:52 – Debate 5: “Holiday Road” vs. “I'm Alright” (Lindsey Buckingham tries, Kenny Loggins is alright) 35:36 – Coin flips and shameless begging for votes 36:26 – Debate 6: Trebek vs. Sajak (intellect vs. wheel-spinning) 41:35 – Debate 7: “Woo” vs. “Uh!” (James Brown intensifies) 47:44 – Debate 8: Al Michaels vs. John Madden (miracle calls vs. turducken) 53:07 – Debate 9: “Come On Eileen” vs. “Turning Japanese” (one-hit wonderland) 58:45 – Final Debate: Is a hot dog a sandwich? (Yes, we're doing this.) 01:06:53 – Wrap-up and wild speculation about future episodes
Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into Live Aid as it turns 40. In Part 1 we spoke about the creation and buildup to the event on July 13, 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK in Philly. It was billed as a legendary fundraiser to support starving people in Africa organized by Bob Geldof which attracted some of the greatest artists of several generations. On our second installment, we break down the live acts throughout the day in the US and during the prime afternoon and evening times in the UK. While some stand out fo incredible performances (The Wolf was partial to Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders among them), some top of the charts performers hit some bad notes (yes, we're going there). And of course, we discuss the infamous Led Zeppelin reunion and interview with Alan Hunter. Part 3 will be released July 13, 2025 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. We are excited about 2 interviews with people who were at the stage in Philadelphia that day, including one of the original MTV VJs.

There are people in rural Mexico for whom Mezcal is 100% cultural heritage. And there are people there for whom it's 100% business — sometimes tied to cultural heritage but sometimes tied simply to paying for food, clothing, shelter, and life's aspirations and pleasures. So what does it mean when that business side taps into the cultural heritage side to increase business? It's a thoughtful, precious episode of Agave Road Trip!Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

#378 Test Card Girl - Rich has freaked himself out by attempting to cure the aphantasia (that he suffers with in silence). His guest is John Craven sanctioned Newshound Samira Ahmed. They discuss the legacy of Mary Whitehouse and whether it's OK to point out the positive things that someone with some unacceptable views has done, the bravery of taking your employer to court in order to secure equal pay, whether appearing on Mastermind is more scary than being in a war zone, the young Richard Herring's clumsy attempts at seduction, your mother being prouder of a puppet you than the real you, interviewing Sooty, being at the trail of Madonna's stalker, whether Chrissie Hynde is terrifying or not and what happens when a young reporter can't find the radio van.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.
