From the Canadian farm he was born and raised on, to starting the very first strip club in Vancouver, to getting signed by Motown Records and touring the world playing with acts like Diana Ross & The Supremes, to sharing a stage with Jimi Hendrix, and smoking pot with one of The Beatles and someone from Leave It To Beaver! Naturally Tommy tells me the story of how he met Cheech Marin, and the genesis of their very first recorded comedy sketch. All along the way, we chat about various fun things; from the T.actical W.omen's A.lert T.eam, to Basketball Jones, to prison and bunking with Jordan Belfort. Tommy let's me play their biggest Motown hit, and explains how he had a hand in getting Jordan Belfort to write the book that the movie The Wolf Of Wallstreet was based on. We also talk about a new 'At Home Weed Delivery Service', NFT's, spirituality, and a whole lot more! Plus, I share some Cheech & Chong stories from my youth.

On this episode, Marc talks Barry Walters, author of "Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969-2000," published in May of 2026. It's a fascinating version of music history focused on LGBTQ musicians and audiences, with chapters centered on specific artistsm from the Velvet Underground through David Bowie up to Judas Priest, Diana Ross, Prince, Depeche Mode, and so many more. Walters delves into each with the eye of a seasoned rock critic and the skill of a journalist, telling their stories and measuring their impact on LBGTQ culture and society as a whole. As he writes, "Straight critics have been telling us how to hear our music for ages, so I'm simply offering a queer alternative—based on forty years of professional research and two prior decades of fandom, with insights gleaned not only from when these records were new and we experienced them in the moment but also from retrospection and insider information."We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Barry Walters!

Let's put on a show! It's season 8 for Paul and Corey Cross the Streams, and this season we're watching musicals. It's a singular art form with a dynamic history, and we get to listen to a lot of cast recordings... This week, Paul continued along, and is now easing down, the Yellow Brick Road as he and Corey discuss The Wiz (1978). It's another example of a film adaptation of a hit Broadway show that radically reimagines the book and premise - for good or for ill. Paul and Corey discuss the historic exclusion of Black musicals from Broadway, as well as the conditions that led to a welcome influx of them in the early 1970s. They talk about the somewhat fraught pre-production, and the people (Geoffrey Holder, Stephanie Mills) and events that led to its rousing success. They also talk about how Motown Productions came to produce the film, some of the history of the company, and most especially the involvement of Diana Ross behind and in front of the camera. The Wiz (the film) was a critical and box-office failure at the time of its release; however, it found its audience and has become its own cultural institution. Paul and Corey discuss what works and what doesn't and how much of the blame can and should be attributed to having the film directed by Sydney Lumet(!) and written by Joel Schumacher(!!).

On this episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett turn their attention to the biggest tournament in football as the World Cup finally gets underway. In Sign of the Times, the pair discuss the growing number of brothers representing different countries at international level, from the Williams brothers to the Boatengs and Fletcher twins, and what it says about modern football and national identity. They also debate whether football now employs too many coaches, why set-piece specialists are becoming increasingly influential, and whether relentless PA systems are ruining part of the matchday experience. Martin's Letter From The Gantry is a journey through nearly five decades of World Cup memories, from his first tournament in Argentina in 1978 to Mexico, Italy, France, South Africa, Russia, Qatar and now North America. Along the way he recalls commentary disasters, accommodation mishaps, Diana Ross's famous penalty miss, and what it feels like to arrive at a World Cup for the 14th time. Neil then puts Martin in the hot seat for Martin Tyler's World Cup, exploring the greatest teams, players, matches, and moments he has witnessed across football's biggest stage. From South Korea's remarkable run in 2002 and Morocco's modern fairy tale, to Michael Owen's emergence, Peter Shilton's longevity, and the unforgettable Germany v Italy semi-final of 2006, Martin shares stories from a lifetime spent covering the game. The episode concludes with They Used To Be Giants, focusing on Italy. The four-time world champions are once again absent from football's biggest tournament, prompting a discussion about how one of the game's great powers fell so far and what the future might hold for the Azzurri. A World Cup special packed with memories, opinions, history, and anticipation from two men counting down to kick-off.

In 1994, the USA hosted the FIFA World Cup for the first time. The choice of host nation was a controversial one because, at that time, the US didn't have an active professional football league. Alan Rothenberg was the man in charge of organising the competition. He decided to book Motown legend, Diana Ross, to headline the opening ceremony in Chicago. Her penalty miss in front of 67,000 fans became an iconic moment in World Cup history. Alan has been sharing his memories of the tournament with Matt Pintus.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony. Sporting Witness is for those fascinated by sporting history.

Before Neverland, before the tabloids, before the world decided it knew exactly who Michael Jackson was — there was a kid in Gary, Indiana who wasn't allowed to touch his father's guitar.Most people know the legend. Few know the price.Michael Jackson didn't have a childhood. He had rehearsals. He had a belt across the chair and a father who saw dollar signs where other dads saw sons. By the time he was eight years old he was performing in nightclubs, watching the adult world at its worst, and being told that was normal. It wasn't normal. None of it was.And yet — out of all of that — came Thriller. The moonwalk. Four consecutive number one singles before he was twelve. A catalog worth billions. A chimp in a matching outfit eating dinner at the table.But also Neverland. Also the allegations. Also a death that still doesn't sit right.This week we start at the beginning — Gary, Indiana, Joe Jackson, the Apollo Theater, Motown, Quincy Jones, and the private world Michael built when he finally had enough money to build whatever he wanted.

“Michael,” the new Michael Jackson biopic, knows what it's doing. That's clear from the opening shot: high-water pants and white socks pushed down to a pair of black penny loafers. It's appealing to a very specific version of our memories of Michael Jackson. The version some of us prefer to hold onto. But in doing so, it avoids the truth. Our qualms with the King of Pop? Forget about that. Be horrified by Joe Jackson's abusive parenting. Where's Janet Jackson and Diana Ross? Nevermind them. Look, it's Bubbles the chimp! The child molestation allegations? Eh, let's just play another No. 1 hit instead! Besides, moviegoers are not complaining. “Michael” crushed box office records. With the best opening weekend for a biopic ever, it's a hit. None of this comes as a shock to Wesley Morris, but he's left with some complicated feelings. His pal, the film curator Eric Hynes, shares these feelings, too. Together, they review the movie and wrestle with the Michael Jackson biopic that could have been. Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The crew provide a deep-dive review of the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, Michael. The team explores whether this big-budget production successfully captures the King of Pop's legacy or if it remains in the shadow of the 1992 miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream. The discussion covers everything from Jafar Jackson's uncanny performance to the casting choices for Joe Jackson, including a candid critique of the film's prosthetic work. Beyond the technicalities of the film, they analyze the historical accuracies of the timeline, the notable absence of siblings like Janet and Randy, and the missed opportunities to showcase the creative genius behind Off the Wall and Thriller. The conversation also touches on music history milestones, such as the true story of the first Black artist on MTV and the impact of the Pepsi commercial era. Finally, the episode addresses the heated debate surrounding the 90s R&B bracket as the hosts respond to listener voicemails questioning if New Edition really deserved to win over heavyweights like Jodeci and Boyz II Men. 0:00 – Weathering the Storm: A St. Louis Welcome    1:20 – Michael vs. The American Dream: Why the "Bible" Still Wins    4:01 – Missed Opportunities: The Making of Thriller and Off the Wall   7:28 – Casting Critique: Jafar Jackson vs. Colman Domingo's Nose    9:50 – Family Politics: The Missing Jacksons and Jermaine's Influence   15:25 – Motown Truths: Gladys Knight vs. Diana Ross    20:55 – MTV History: The First Black Artist Reveal    23:02 – The Pepsi Commercial and CGI Bubbles    32:16 – "Scraping the Bone": Have We Learned Everything About MJ?   49:09 – The Transformation: From Thriller to Bad    1:04:55 – Final Ratings: Was It Just a Love Letter for the 2000s Kids?   1:12:57 – Listener Voicemail: The Great 90s R&B Group Bracket Debate BRAND New Voicemail 314-649-3113 Join the I Only Listen to 90s Music Facebook Group http://bit.ly/3k0UEDe      Follow I Only Listen to 90s Music on IG https://bit.ly/3sbCphv       Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542                          Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395                          Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je                To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH                      YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU                      Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ                     Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1  IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y

I had a similar experience going on—being on saṅkīrtana and hearing music when I was a brahmacārī. And, I distinctly remember once I heard a song by Diana Ross, and it goes like this: "You are everything, and everything is you." I was going, "That's Bhagavad-gītā." And the part where we connect it, and we're able to see how Kṛṣṇa's energies are working, and we say, "Oh, I see how that happened"—it's very similar to what the gosvāmīs do when they mention this: they see boys and girls are spontaneously attracted to one another, and they say, "Yeah, that's it. I want to be attracted like that to Kṛṣṇa." It's all a reflection. So, if you're seeing the connection in the reflection, then it becomes a Kṛṣṇa conscious observation, and that's a result of our own observations. We talked about it during japa this morning, that when we're chanting, we can be acutely aware—ubhayor api dṛṣṭo 'ntas(BG 2.16)—that there's two things happening: there's material nature, and then there's consciousness. The two things are fascinating to watch and see the difference between the two, and then the rest of the world. As Nārada Muni, when he was a small child, after his mother passed away, he was left an orphan; and by that time, he had already had association with the sādhus. So he went out to observe the world, and he was seeing how all of Kṛṣṇa's energies were working. Those kinds of observations Prabhupāda constantly made when he was on morning walks. He'd notice things. He'd say, 'This means this. This means that.' And, 'Oh, how interesting.' A bird sitting in a nest was leaving its remnants on the ground, and Prabhupāda asked what it meant. Devotees thought, 'What could it possibly mean?' It's passing and it's going on the ground in one pile, and Prabhupāda said, 'It means he's attached to that branch. Every living entity is attached to a particular place." In this way, Prabhupāda would see something. He saw a father pick up his son to place a letter in a mailbox, and then Prabhupāda made something out of that: like, this is how we work. We have a desire to do; Kṛṣṇa picks us up. We put all of our functions—the way we talk, the way we move... it's all coming from Kṛṣṇa. In Hawaii, devotees asked Prabhupāda if it was māyā if they went to the beach—because that's all there is in Hawaii, is beach. Prabhupāda answered. He said, "How could you be in māyā? Kṛṣṇa is the ocean. He's the light of the sun and the moon. How could you possibly be in māyā there?" It's a good question. So obviously we have to be careful, because unless we have a melted heart and we're engaged in seeing the world and feeling such an intense connection to Kṛṣṇa through seeing everything that's happening, then it's possible to get caught on something as happened to Ajāmila. He was doing his sādhana, but he wasn't strong enough. So when he saw a scene, it wasn't like he could connect it. And certain things we should be very careful of looking at and not think, "Oh no, I can process that," but then it might process you—which is the problem in the material world. We're really smart because we're parts of Kṛṣṇa. So we invent television, for instance. I know it's an old technology; I'll get to the higher things in a second. But you know, what does it take to figure out how to build a television? It's an amazing thing.

Today on part one of this interview on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Grammy-winning musician Leo Sidran, son of jazz musician, professor, radio host, VH1 TV host and author Ben Sidran. Now if you are a jazz fan, likely you know the name Ben Sidran. In a career that spans more than 50 years, Ben Sidran has had a truly remarkable career as a solo performer and has somehow performed with, recorded with or produced pretty much everyone in and out of jazz. Like who? How about Steve Miller, Diana Ross, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Mose Allison and so many more. But as we learn from Leo on this episode, Ben's literate background, his poetic lyrics and his fantastic piano playing make him, we would argue, more than just a musician but more of a national treasure. There is just something about a world class jazz musician who can also write lyrics that make you think, and often times laugh, that just gives you pause. It's a rare talent and Ben Sidran has it. So on this episode we learn about Leo's entre into music. Yes of course it's via his dad but it also involves going on tour with The Steve Miller Band where technology plays a major part in his world on the tour bus. From there we learn how Leo became a songwriter before he could drive, how he was looked after by the Steve Miller Band band members and how it set him up for his first recording date not too long after. Along the way we discuss the importance of merch, Camus, Madison Wisconsin, the importance of having a mother who was a travel agent – and much more than that, why his parents left Los Angeles when Ben's solo career was just getting going and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.
