First up this week is an excellent 1982 chat with John Mellencamp, back when he was known as John Cougar – in conversation with Rick Ringer. John can be a bit tough on interviewers, but he seems really comfortable with Rick and it makes for a fun chat. It’s just as John was starting to take off with songs like Hurts So Good and Jack & Dianne. And he was fresh off his first appearance on Saturday Night Live. And what happens when you have only 5 minutes to talk to one of the biggest artists in the world? Marilyn Denis faced that dilemma head on in 2013 when she had mere moments to chat with Lady Gaga. And what she does in that time is extraordinary – you get a lot of info and personality in a very short time. John Waite had a moment in 1984 when he hit number one with the song “Missing You” – and that’s when we spoke to him. And he also spoke about his time with one of the most underrated bands of the ‘70s – The Babys. And we wrap things up with a series of clips from the great Anne Murray. She talks about the challenges facing Canadian artists in the ‘70s and the story behind one of her biggest hits – and how she knew she had a monster on her hands the more she listened to it. Plus, Christopher shocks Tom when he casually mentions something about Anne and HIM! Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville.
