Song clips featured on this episode: X Offender by Blondie In the Sun by Blondie Rip Her to Shreds by Blondie

Six songs to kick off Side A from Blondie's debut. We discover that X Offender isn't about Trump and Epstein, but rather is a cautionary tale about falling in love (or lust) with your local copper! There's drum fills aplenty, a few mix issues, and we talk a fair bit about Debbie Harry's voice. But, will new wave surf rock tickle Corey's pickle? Will Kev had any damn clue what West Side Story is?

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.

This week we're joined by actor, drag queen, and Debbie Harry fanatic, Love Connie, for a look at David Cronenberg's sexy and sadistic meditation on horror, television, and society: Videodrome. The early 1980s saw a revolution in consumer video. Small UHF stations broadcast trashy movies at night to compete with the larger VHF networks. VCRs and cable introduced theatrical films to the home market uncut for broadcast. Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had some real deep thoughts on what that would mean for our society and how it would change our consciousness. Cronenberg saw a movie in there and he cast James Woods and Debbie Harry as pawns in a game played by shadowy figures using television signals to physically transform the viewers. Max Renn is an executive for CIVIC-TV, a small UHF station in Toronto, a station that broadcast violent and pornographic content. He's on the lookout for the next sensation that'll broaden his audience and he stumbles on to what appears to be a snuff show called Videodrome. It's nothing but brutality, no plot, no characters, just violence. The deeper he looks into it, the worse his hallucinations become. What's real? What's fantasy? Does it even matter? What is Videodrome doing to him?

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.

Inhaltlich geht es um ein zerbrechliches Herz, während der Song musikalisch Wave-Punk und Euro-Disco zusammenbrachte. Eine Provokation für die Punkszene 1978, in der Disco als absolut uncool galt. Der Song war damals der absolute Hit der US-amerikanischen Band, die wenige Jahre zuvor in New York gegründet wurde von Debbie Harry und Chris Stein. „Heart of Glass“ stürmte die Charts, ist längst in die „Grammy Hall of Fame“ aufgenommen worden und auch als Coverversion von Miley Cirus ging er erneut durch die Decke.

Nikki Blonsky steps Behind The Rope.  Nikki chats with us about what it was like to land the breakout role of Tracy Turnblad in the film version of the iconic Hairspray.  We chat about all the details from the audition process, to the mind of John Waters to how life changed after the film came out and made her a household name. Of course, we chat about some of Nikki's Hairspray co-stars such as Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer, John Travolta and Queen Latifah. We also chat about some of the original film's stars such as Debbie Harry, Ricki Lake & Divine. On a more serious note, we discuss the pressures of being type cast in Hollywood, how Nikki found it hard to find work after Hairspray, the pitfalls of fame and the best and worst parts about “the business”. Nikki was also on two of our fav shows, Ugly Betty and Smash. Finally, Nikki talks dating and just how Zac Efron seems to work his way into every date she has. @nikkiblonsky @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I talk with Gary Lachman, author, cultural historian, and founding member of Blondie. Gary is widely regarded as one of the most prolific contemporary writers on Western esotericism, consciousness, and the hidden currents shaping culture.Our conversation centers on his most recent book, 'Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult', his second autobiography and a deeply personal account of his spiritual development. The book traces his journey from the New York punk scene into a lifelong engagement with mysticism, synchronicity, and the inner life, exploring how moments of contact with something beyond the ordinary can quietly redirect an entire existence.We talk about Gary's early influences and how classic comic books, science fiction, and music helped form an imaginative framework that later opened naturally into esoteric study. We then talk about his journey of unfoldment, as his life story seems to intertwine with the growing counter culture of 70's and beyond. We continue into how those experiences, including meeting Debbie Harry, shaped his world view and led him into to becoming one of the most prolific writers in esoterica.. He reflects on the shamanic and transformative power of music, including the unique cultural and spiritual field surrounding the Grateful Dead, and how sound itself can function as a vehicle for altered states and collective meaning.Gary also shares insights from his brief time connected with the O.T.O., the realities many seekers encounter when entering formal occult structures, and his broader reflections on how human beings intuit, dream, and sometimes prefigure the future before it fully arrives.This episode is a thoughtful exploration of art, music, memory, mysticism, and so much more.. Drop In!www.gary-lachman.comGary Lachman Bio:Gary Lachman is an author and lecturer on consciousness, counterculture, and the Western esoteric tradition. His works include Dark Star Rising, Beyond the Robot, and The Secret Teachers of the Western World.

When I started out with this podcast, one of the things that I was – still am - interested in is the uncertainty of living today and how it takes us into living with liminality.  “In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.” The Divine Comedy – Dante  It makes me wonder if life always been woven together with paths of liminality. I guess it has. And perhaps what was liminal to someone in the 14th Century would not feel liminal to us now. I shudder to think what those folk would feel about the world today. Mind you, I imagine the 14th Century was pretty brutal. Not medieval for nothing. But how do we traverse the anxiety, turbulence and exhaustion that living with liminality can give, especially these days when the world feels so, SO fucked up. The feelings can be so very strong. I've also pondered (as I do – we all have our faults!) what the role of music is these days. I read a post by a musician friend of mine and he was expressing his exhaustion at living in this world. Is music and art the medicine that we need, either as creators or consumers to retain sanity, connection and community or to access our subconscious? Is it still as dangerous to the establishment as it once was?  This and other existential questions relating to our existence and how we move through the world might be pondered in today's episode with a songwriter, producer and musician who has such an extensive and rich musical history with some exceptional artists (one of whom, Debbie Harry, is unquestionably a legend) and has just released his latest solo album called 'Stories From The Borderlines', 11 beautifully crafted songs that brood with their imagination, poignancy, turmoil and hopefulness. I think it's a great representation of the world today and the wildly diverse emotions that I often feel.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

Today, I'm once again joined by an amazing speaker, client, and member of The Big Talk community, Kristina DiPalo. Kristina awakens people and organizations stuck between the future they imagined and the one they are living. Leveraging the concept of icons and iconoclasts, she uses her experience as a strategic leader to help clients break worn-out definitions and navigate toward a future of growth and possibility. In our conversation, Kristina shares her journey through a watershed moment—when her roles as wife, daughter, and professional were all shifting—and how reconnecting with the icons of her youth (Debbie Harry, Shirley Chisholm, Billie Jean King, and Millicent Fenwick) helped her realize she'd drifted from who she truly was. In this episode, we'll explore: How to identify your watershed moment—when what you are is out of alignment with who you are—and why the tension you feel is actually a powerful signal for change The difference between the roles you play (mom, professional, partner) and who you truly are at your core Why becoming an iconoclast doesn't mean dramatic life changes, but rather breaking small daily compromises that have steered you away from your authentic self How to use courage and faith to consciously redefine yourself when you realize you're living someone else's definition of who you should be Current Favorites: Books: The Last Temptation of Christ & Love in the Time of Cholera, Speaker: Spalding Gray, and Podcasts: The Iconic Podcast & The Bulwark Podcast More from Kristina DiPalo Her first appearances on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 555 and Episode 578 Website: https://kristinadipalo.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinadipalo/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinadipalo/    More from Tricia  Unlock your potential and grow your speaking business during The Art of The Big Talk, my LIVE Two-Day Virtual Masterclass Join me LIVE for my Free Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Blondie got their start as part of New York's fertile punk scene in the late ‘70s, a time of great musical innovation. Also a time of great fear. Violent crime had the five boroughs in a stranglehold. Muggers, rapists, thieves, criminal deviants of all stripes ran wild in the streets. Or so they said. True New Yorkers like Blondie were tough, jaded, immune to the fears foisted upon tourists. Blondie's Debbie Harry, in particular, was not a victim and not a mark. But she nearly became a victim to a soon-to-be infamous serial killer when she accepted a ride from a stranger. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including depictions of sexual assault. This episode was originally published on November 21, 2023.

We return to our rundown of Flash Gordon, just as Flash and Prince Barin are being taken to the Hawkmen's planet to fight to the death!Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema.We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone.The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light.

When photographer Martyn Goddard began documenting the emerging punk and new wave scene in London during the late 1970s, he was capturing more than a musical movement—he was photographing a cultural revolution. His lens found its way to some of the most influential bands of the era, none more iconic than Blondie. His candid, stylish, and energetic photographs reveal the band's magnetic presence both on and off stage, chronicling the rise of Debbie Harry and her bandmates at a moment when music, fashion, and attitude collided. That work is now celebrated in his new book, Blondie: In Camera, a visual time capsule that immerses readers in the band's world during their formative years. More than nostalgia, the book reflects Goddard's ability to balance artistry and access—creating images that feel as intimate as they are electric. Through his photographs, he reminds us why Blondie's aesthetic and spirit continue to resonate decades later, defining an era when photography and music were inseparable forces of style and identity.

Sorry this one's a bit late — but to make up for it, we've gone all in with an extra-long episode of General Witchfinders, split into two parts. This week, we take you through the extraordinary, over-the-top world of Flash Gordon (1980) — the space opera superhero film that blended camp comedy, science-fiction spectacle, and Queen's iconic soundtrack into something truly cosmic. The second half of this intergalactic adventure will land next week. Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema. We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone. The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers. Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters.

In this episode of Spirit Box, I'm joined by Gary Lachman — musician, writer, and author of twenty-six books on Western esotericism — for a conversation that spans from the Bowery to the astral.Gary was the bassist for Blondie during their early New York years, and shares his journey from a childhood fascination with comics to his time living in a loft with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, where a flamboyant biker artist introduced him to Aleister Crowley. That encounter, and a fateful read of Colin Wilson's The Occult, set him on a lifelong path through the hidden corridors of consciousness, mysticism, and philosophy.We talk about precognitive dreams and telepathy, the strange electrical accident that may have opened psychic doors, and how a shared dream with his girlfriend became the Blondie song “Touched by Your Presence.” Gary reflects on his shift from rock and roll to writing, his time as a science journalist, and his enduring fascination with thinkers like Gurdjieff, Robert Anton Wilson, and Arthur Koestler.The conversation also explores Gary's “naturalist” approach to magic — a focus on direct experience rather than dogma — and his philosophy of daily writing as an esoteric practice in itself. Along the way, we touch on David Bowie, near-death encounters, and the lasting influence of Colin Wilson on his work.Show notes:https://www.gary-lachman.comhttps://www.instagram.com/gvlachman/https://www.innertraditions.com/touched-by-the-presenceKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

Efter en kaotisk gymnasietid på billigt amfetamin, med polisrazzior och soc-samtal, slog Maja Ivarssons band The Sounds igenom över en natt. USA tog emot dem med öppna armar och de hängde med David Grohl, Debbie Harry och Rick Rubin. Samtidigt avfärdades bandet som ”JC-rock” av hemlandets kritiker och de vande sig vid förnedrande recensioner. Med ett osannolikt turnéschema reste The Sounds över världen för att sen köra rakt in i en bergvägg av röstproblem, utmattning och okontrollerat knarkande. Idag är Maja Ivarsson 45 år, hon är nykter och ensamstående mamma på 42 kvadrat i Malmö och har just startat upp en solokarriär.

What happens when heavy riffs meet raw emotion? This week, Don and Dude dive into two landmark albums that launched Nu Metal from underground oddity to global phenomenon, blending hip-hop, metal, and vulnerability in ways rock had never witnessed.Born in the late '90s, Nu Metal fused bruising guitar riffs, hip-hop swagger, and electronic experimentation, connecting deeply with fans wrestling alienation, trauma, and identity. These albums didn't just soundtrack angst, they rewrote heavy music's rulebook.Korn – Korn (1994)Background: Debut record by Bakersfield's five-piece, produced by Ross Robinson at Indigo Ranch, captured mostly live for maximum intensity. Jonathan Davis's anguished vocals, Fieldy's clacking bass, and down-tuned Ibanez 7-string guitars created Nu Metal's foundation.Sound/Legacy: A claustrophobic nightmare of sludgy riffs, twisted nursery rhymes, and unfiltered emotion—Korn's first single “Blind” became a genre's birth cry, while “Daddy” redefined honesty in heavy music. The album's “bounce metal” sound, real-time aggression, and confrontational lyrics inspired an army of imitators.Key Tracks: “Blind,” “Shoots and Ladders,” “Faget,” “Clown,” “Helmet in the Bush,” “Daddy.”Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory (2000)Background: Los Angeles band, renamed and reimagined when Chester Bennington joined, fused emotional rock, rap, and DJ effects for a style that stormed radio, MTV, and the hearts of millions. Producer Don Gilmore's perfectionist approach resulted in a polished sonic punch.Sound/Legacy: Hybrid Theory delivered universally relatable lyrics—paranoia, frustration, failure—through a seamless interplay of Mike Shinoda's rap and Chester Bennington's soaring melodies. Every song packs arena-ready hooks and emotional weight, making the album a nu metal, rap-rock, and emo touchstone.Key Tracks: “Papercut,” “One Step Closer,” “Points of Authority,” “Crawling,” “In the End,” “A Place for My Head,” “Pushing Me Away.”Diggin'Dude:Mirador – Mirador (2025)Debut from Greta Van Fleet's Jake Kiszka and company, recorded live, blending rock, folk, blues, country themes of myth, hope, and identity.“Feels Like Gold”The Go-Go's – Beauty and the Beat (1981)Punk to new wave classic, hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.”Don:The Pink Stones – Thank the Lord… It's The Pink Stones (2025)Athens, GA cosmic Americana, rootsy punk, country, and psychedelic mix.“If I Can't Win (With You)”Andy Bell – Ten Crowns (2025)Erasure frontman's third solo, produced by Dave Audé, mixes Eurodisco, synth-pop, gospel; features Debbie Harry.“Hearts a Liar”What song helped you survive your angsty years?Connect on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and BlueSky @albumnerds or at albumsnerds.com.

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.

Singers often make or break a song. The exceptional ones can lift a bland arrangement into the stratosphere and the mundane ones can sink a great arrangement like a torpedo. This week the "How We Heard It" guys take a look at women vocalists (men singers will come next week), from the clear-voiced vocalists with perfect enunciation to soul singers who use a ragged edge to add personality. Some are belters, some practically whisper, some float into the atmosphere, and some are Bjork. But the differences between artists are pronounced, even in the sub-categories. Find out why Karen Carpenter hits differently than Barbra Streisand, how Tina Turner persevered, what sets Debbie Harry apart, where Sheryl Crow lands and how Billie Eilish factors in. And the guys are not on the same page on many of these vocalists, from Janis Joplin to Joni Mitchell to Kate Bush to Whitney Houston to Mariah Carey. Some of these women only seem better the more you explore their work, while others don't hold up to a closer listen. Your hosts dovetail, dissent and then dovetail again as they explore women singers from today, yesterday and long ago.   

What's myth and what's fact in the story of Charles Manson? What were the true motives behind the murders and who was really involved? There are many books covering this topic, yet very few have broken through the 'official' tale told by the trial's prosecutors and the news media at the time. This book includes hundreds of hours of research into court and police documents, witness statements, media reports and interviews with those involved. This book examines the current theories surrounding the case and appraises their likelihood against a timeline of events and the words of Manson himself. The prosecution case promoted by Vincent, Bugliosi, the Process Church influence as endorsed by Ed Sanders and David McGowan, the robbery scenario as spoken of by Nikolas Shreck and William Scanlon Murphy and the possibility of MK Ultra mind control as discussed by Adam Gorightly are all examined and tested.How do Terry Melcher, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Jane Fonda, the Mamas and the Papas, Michael Caine, Dean Martin, Angela Lansbury, Peter Sellers, Warren Beatty, Yul Brynner, Peter Falk, Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Nancy Sinatra, Ronald Reagan and Debbie Harry fit into the tale? What Hollywood secrets did the industry, the police and the prosecution strive to keep hidden? Were the victims really chosen at random by a crazed cult of serial killers, high on a mix of LSD, Satanism and the music of the Beatles? Read on to uncover the secrets of the Manson family, their trial, the main players in the case and the murky world of Hollywood.The book contains 564 pages, 200,000+ words containing a complete history of the life of Charles Manson.A detailed examination of the Hinman, Shea, Tate and LaBianca murders, appraisal of all the most prominent theories surrounding the case, explanations of the coded confessions revealed in interviews with Manson.Stories of celebrity encounters, facts about Manson's relationship with the music industry, details of organised crime connections, faults with the prosecution's case, troubling indications about the motives and character of Vincent Bugliosi, examinations of further murders and other criminal activity possibly connected to Manson.Revelations about the main players involved in the case, embarrassing secrets of the Hollywood elite, suggestions of police ineptitude, signs of a cover-up, bizarre coincidences, strange occurrences, salacious gossip, radical political movements, riots, the Black Panthers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, cults, religion, sex, drugs and murder.This book has been read, enjoyed, praised and promoted by friends of Charlies and members of ATWA. https://amzn.to/4naItmKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Supericonic downtown sister act Tish & Snooky recall their days as backup singers for Debbie Harry, their own band The Sick Fucks, opening the first punk boutique in America, and creating their game changing hair color product Manic Panic.

Debbie Harry’s 80th, and it’s time once again to listen to the music of Blondie! (58 minutes)

Saturday night on a Wednesday. Also, Willie Nelson and Debbie Harry.

When singer Debbie Harry helped form Blondie in 1974 she developed a unique stage persona to front the band. Though she may have appeared to fans as a hyper-femme caricature, Harry recalls her role as androgynous or "transexual" in her 2019 memoir Face It. In the third episode of Soundscapes N.Y.C., host Ryan Purcell talks with Cornell University professor of music Judith Peraino, and  University of Iowa cultural studies professor Kembrew McLeod about the stylistic and social forces that shaped gender-bending bands like Blondie and others in the early “punk” scene in 1970s New York.  Judith Peraino is the author of multiple publications on rock music and constructions of gender. This includes We're Having Much More Fun: Punk Archives for the Present from CBGB to Gilman and Beyond (Cornell University Press, 2025) co-edited with Tom McEnaney, professor of comparative literature at the University of California, Berkley.  McLeod is a cultural critic and documentary filmmaker. He is the author of Parallel Lines in Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 Series (2016) and the critically acclaimed history The Downtown Pop Underground: New York City and the Literary Punks, Renegade Artists, DIY Filmmakers, Mad Playwrights, and Rock 'N' Roll Glitter Queens Who Revolutionized Culture.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?
