Podcast appearances and mentions of Don Henley

Never miss a story: Sign up for our newsletter! In this special bonus episode, we're talking with the co-directors of the new Ken Burns documentary, Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau has been called the patron saint of early environmental thought in the U.S., from his transcendentalist writings of the mid-19th century to his decision to live a secluded life at a cabin on Walden Pond in Massachusetts.  The three-part film, now streaming on pbs.org, the PBS app, and on Prime Video, examines Thoreau not just through the lens of American history, but it also asks what his work means to us in our current era.  The film was directed by brothers Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers, both frequent collaborators with Ken Burns, who is an executive producer along with Don Henley. The Allegheny Front's Reid Frazier spoke with the Ewers brothers about the film. We're independent and non-profit, and we don't receive funds from WESA, WPSU or any other radio station.

In which we discover we have way too much in common with...a dinosaur. What we learned about Stegosaurus: o The distance between Stegosaurus and T. Rex is much greater than the distance between T. Rex and us. (80+ million years vs. 66 million years.) o We're not sure what the back plates were for. Possibly to be cool; possibly just to look cool. o Stegosaurus ate rocks to help digest those prehistoric fern salads. o It's Colorado's official state fossil. You can even get Stegosaurus vanity plates, but you have to register a vehicle there. So...goals. o In The Far Side, Gary Larson named the spiked tail the thagomizer ("after the late Thag Simmons"). It is now the standard anatomical term. What we learned about "Desperado": o It's not The Eagles. It's just Eagles. o While considered one of their greatest hits (it's even on Their Greatest Hits), it was never a single and therefore not a hit. o Don Henley didn't like his vocals but wasn't given a chance to redo them. o The song plays a central role on Seinfeld (Season 8, Episode 7). Cold-blooded reptilians: o M. Spaff Sumsion: Lyrics o Robert Lund: All vocals, all instruments, all production, all everything else Oh and hey: Check out the music video (YouTube link below). It's our first one in years and represents Spaff's first attempt to harness AI. (To be clear: The lyrics are 100% human. The music and vocals are 100% human. But the images in the video are 100% AI (albeit with five tons of coaching from Spaff).)

In this episode, Charles sits down with Mike Bernard, a Boston-area author, screenwriter, and playwright who came to writing later in life and hasn't slowed down since. Mike has published eight novels, written a stage musical, and optioned multiple screenplays through prestigious competitions including the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, ScreenCraft, and the Nantucket Film Festival. The conversation weaves together music, memory, friendship, and the creative life — all anchored in the gritty, soulful sounds of the 1970s and early '80s. Mike's live music journey begins with a memorable — if reluctant — first show: escorting his grandmother to see Liberace at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. His real musical awakening came when he saw the J. Geils Band at the old Boston Garden as a teenager, an experience he still counts among his best. The blues-driven energy of "House Party" and "Musta Got Lost" made a lifelong impression, and he draws a sharp distinction between that era of J. Geils and the MTV-era band that followed. Other standout shows include Elvis Costello at the Cape Cod Coliseum — where the opening silhouettes under blue light during "Watching the Detectives" hit him like a gut punch — and an extraordinary 1990 benefit concert at Worcester's Clark University featuring Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett all on the same bill. And for pure comedic gold, Mike recounts the moment a Little River Band guitar pick landed — and stuck — to his bare thigh at the Melody Tent, with zero competition from the crowd for the souvenir. Charles and Mike then discuss Mike's book Concert Dates; a fictional story told in interview form — inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six — that follows six friends who meet at a concert at age 15 and are reunited decades later through a video diary. The backdrop is the Cape Cod Coliseum, a converted hockey rink that hosted an extraordinary run of classic rock shows from 1972 to 1983, including Van Halen, The Clash, Talking Heads, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and J. Geils (twelve times). Mike also shares the remarkable story of connecting with photographer Rudy Childs — a previous Seeing Them Live guest — through a Facebook group dedicated to the Coliseum, only to discover that Rudy's candid parking lot photos included a picture of Mike and his own friends from a Clash show. Listeners who enjoy music, nostalgia, and deeply human storytelling will find Concert Dates — and Mike's wider catalog, including Crossing the Sagamore — well worth picking up on Amazon.

When we watch sports, we watch the surface: the goals, the speed, the final score. But Colin Cerniglia, Sports Journalist for the Charlotte Observer, is looking for something else.In this episode, we dive into the "human undercurrent"—the invisible cues and personal values that dictate whether a team rises or crumbles. Colin, author of Culture of Excellence and a veteran of both the corporate recruiting world and the sports press box, takes us on a journey through the high-stakes decisions of the New York Yankees and the protective leadership of coaches like Dean Smith.But leadership isn't just found in stadiums. Colin pulls back the curtain on his own life, from his obsessive quest to write an unauthorized biography of rock legend Don Henley to a sobering reality check in his own home during a postpartum crisis. We close with a moving tribute to the "first hero" in his life—his grandfather—and the legacy of decency that remains long after the scoreboard is turned off.In this episode, we explore:The Recruiter's Lens: Why judging talent based on "charm" alone is a recipe for failure.The Coach's Shield: How great leaders protect their players from the noise.The Henley Rabbit Hole: A detour into 1960s Texas yearbooks and investigative obsession.The Legacy of Decency: What a grandfather's quiet life teaches us about being remembered.Connect with Colin Cerniglia:Official Substack: CERNIG – The home for Colin's latest writing, including updates on his Don Henley biography project.The Book: Culture of Excellence: What We Can Learn From The Yankees About Leadership – Colin's deep dive into the organizational secrets of baseball's most storied franchise.Professional Hub: Talent 409 – Colin's leadership academy and consulting firm.Podcast: 2 Jocks & A Schlub – A weekly mix of sports, beer, and "nonsense" hosted by Colin and friends.Writing Portfolio: Muck Rack – A collection of Colin's sports journalism and features.Follow Colin on Social Media:X: @cjcernigInstagram: @cjcernig

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠Analytic Dreamz delivers a detailed breakdown of Noah Kahan's fourth studio album, The Great Divide, released on April 24, 2026. This 17-track project continues the folk-pop and Americana sound established on the 2022 breakthrough album Stick Season while introducing new elements including increased piano presence and rock-pop detours, most notably on “American Cars.”The album explores deep themes of family trauma, sobriety, mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia, identity, hometown disconnect, and the tension between fame and personal authenticity. Unlike Stick Season, The Great Divide expands beyond Kahan's personal perspective to incorporate multiple viewpoints, anchored by the recurring motif of small-town life versus global success. Key tracks include the lead single “The Great Divide,” which addresses fear, mortality, and existential reflection, alongside “Doors,” “Paid Time Off,” “Dan,” “23,” “Deny Deny Deny,” “Porch Light,” “Dashboard,” and “Haircut.”Production credits feature Gabe Simon and Aaron Dessner, with recording sessions held in Nashville and Upstate New York. The project is positioned as a direct successor to Stick Season rather than a radical reinvention, praised for its strong songwriting and emotional depth while drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift's pop structures, Don Henley's tone, Bon Iver, Zach Bryan, and Mumford & Sons.Analytic Dreamz examines the accompanying documentary Noah Kahan: Out of Body, which provides additional context on Kahan's mental health struggles, writer's block, and personal philosophy of confronting rather than curing his challenges. The segment also covers the 2026 The Great Divide Tour, a North American arena and stadium run launching June 11 in Orlando and concluding August 31 in Seattle, with multiple sold-out dates including a four-night Boston residency at Fenway Park.Ticket demand has driven high pricing, with resale values reaching up to $13,198 in Boston, while base tickets start around $220. Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this project represents Noah Kahan's transition into a stadium-level headliner while maintaining his “regular-guy” relatability and authentic storytelling.This segment provides comprehensive insight into the album's thematic ambition, commercial momentum, and cultural positioning as a key 2026 release in folk-pop and Americana. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Someone tried to harvest Christian's voice for AI training. The pitch was polished, the project sounded real. But when she responded with ten professional questions, the conversation ended. Permanently.In this Deep Dive on Episode 275, Christian connects that experience to her conversation with Erik and Christopher Ewers, the brothers behind the PBS documentary Henry David Thoreau. Chris Ewers argues that every technological revolution has felt like the end of the world — the Industrial Revolution, digital cameras, and now AI. Each time the tool became indispensable. Then Christian pulls in Thoreau himself — the man who railed against the railroad and then rode the train 70 times. He used the tool deliberately.In this episode, you'll hear:The full story of the suspicious voice-over job offer and the ten questions that ended it.Why Christian's VO business is declining while her filmmaking and podcasting are thriving.Chris Ewers's case for why AI is the digital camera revolution all over again.Thoreau's “cost of a thing” quote and why it hits differently in the age of AI.The contradiction of Thoreau and the train — and what “live deliberately” actually means now.Jeff Goldblum at the mic and George Clooney saying “tell me if I suck” — what AI will never replace.Timestamps:0:00 What George Clooney Told the Directors0:18 Show open0:28 The Ethan Caldwell story2:33 Where I stand with AI3:49 The Ewers Brothers and the revolution that always comes5:09 Clip: Chris Ewers on AI and the digital camera revolution7:15 Thoreau, technology, and the train he swore he'd never ride9:25 What “live deliberately” actually means9:44 What Ethan Caldwell's silence reveals10:45 Goldblum, Clooney, and what machines can't replicate11:59 ClosingListen & Follow:Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/DocFirstAppleSpotify: tinyurl.com/DocFirstSpotifyYouTube: tinyurl.com/DocFirstYouTubeAmazon Music: tinyurl.com/DocFirstAmazonSupport the show on Patreon: tinyurl.com/DocFirstPatreonAbout the Guests (from DF Episode 275):Erik Ewers: Director, Editor.

Even with Ken Burns and Don Henley attached, funding a PBS documentary is brutal. So what hope do the rest of us have?Erik and Christopher Ewers get real about PBS funding, AI's impact on filmmaking, and how they landed George Clooney, Jeff Goldblum, Ted Danson, Tate Donovan and Meryl Streep for their new PBS documentary Henry David Thoreau.In Part 2 of this conversation, the Ewers Brothers open up about the financial realities of documentary funding, even with Ken Burns and Don Henley attached, why Chris sees AI as the next revolution instead of the apocalypse, how broadcast is giving way to streaming, and the stories behind casting some of Hollywood's biggest voices. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.In Part 2, you'll learn:— Why having Ken Burns and Don Henley as executive producers doesn't make funding easy and who actually made the Thoreau film possible— Chris's case for why AI is the digital camera revolution all over again, not the death of filmmaking— The best professional advice Chris ever received and why it will never change— How Chris kept his mouth shut on a commercial set with Jeff Goldblum and how that silence led to Goldblum voicing Thoreau— The story of how Don Henley quietly recruited George Clooney as narrator and Clooney's reaction when asked how long he'd known Henley— Ken Burns's advice on directing Meryl Streep: “You don't.”— How streaming is changing episode length and why “the director's cut” isn't what it used to be.— Erik's approach to pre-planning edit cuts for PBS broadcast time slots without sacrificing the story— Why Ken Burns treats his mentorship like tough love — and why Erik is grateful for it— One thing filmmakers need to know about getting a documentary on PBSTimestamps:0:00 Introduction1:21 Unpacking the Thoreauvian mindset2:46 Thoreau's prescience on consumerism3:50 Erik on Thoreau's “cost of life” quote and the iPhone4:40 Thoreau and the birth of the Industrial Revolution6:03 Christian's advice: think from the end back6:50 Chris on the state of the industry — Industrial Revolution to AI10:20 Christian: as a voice actor, AI is a challenge10:53 The best professional advice Chris ever received11:36 Christian on the struggle to fund the next film12:54 Money is always the biggest hurdle13:15 How the Ewers Brothers fund PBS docs without federal money14:49 Ken Burns's two binders of rejection letters15:07 The Movies That Made Us — encouragement for indie filmmakers16:26 The reality: it's hard for everybody17:52 Erik on Ken Burns's legacy projects and the privilege of the brand20:58 Erik on earning the gift — Ken's tough love mentorship22:00 Broadcast vs. streaming — why episode length is changing23:52 Erik's editing strategy for PBS time slots25:37 Celebrity voice talent — how they landed Jeff Goldblum27:43 Don Henley's connections — Ted Danson and Meryl Streep29:09 The George Clooney reveal — “If Don Henley calls, you say yes”30:43 What it's like to direct celebrity voice talent30:55 Jeff Goldblum in the booth — pure instinct31:26 Ken Burns's advice on directing Meryl Streep31:52 George Clooney: “Tell me if I suck”32:42 DocuVue Deja Vu — Erik's picks and Chris's all-time favoriteDocuView DejaVu Picks:Erik Ewers: Crumb (1994), Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991), Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011), The Thin Blue Line (1988)Christopher Loren Ewers: Man on Wire (2008)Christian Taylor: Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy (Netflix, 2024)This episode is supported by Virgil Films Entertainment.About the Guests:Erik Ewers — Director, Editor.

He edited nearly every Ken Burns film since The Civil War. He still didn't know who he was.Henry David Thoreau wrote that most people lead lives of “quiet desperation.” But what did he actually mean - and what does it look like inside a successful career?That's the question Christian Taylor explores in this episode of Documentary First: The Deep Dive, after her conversation with Erik and Christopher Ewers—two brothers who just directed a three-part, three-hour PBS documentary on Thoreau. The film is narrated by George Clooney, with Jeff Goldblum voicing Thoreau, Ted Danson as Emerson, and Meryl Streep voicing several women in Thoreau's life. It's executive produced by Ken Burns and Don Henley.What struck Christian wasn't the star-studded cast or the prestige credentials. It was a quiet confession from Erik - Ken Burns's senior editor for 33 years - who admitted that despite decades of career confidence, he didn't really know himself. He described himself as “lost and wayward.” And it was his own documentary about youth mental illness that finally woke him up.That led Christian back to Thoreau's famous line and to a realization: Thoreau wasn't describing unhappy people. He was describing people who don't even know they're suffering. People whose competence has become the hiding place.What You'll Learn:Why competence can mask a total lack of self-knowledge - for decadesWhat Thoreau actually meant by “quiet desperation” (it's not what most people think)How Erik Ewers's own documentary became the mirror that showed him himselfThe connection between Thoreau's grief, Christian's grief, and the impulse to strip life down to what's realA practical challenge for filmmakers and creators: rest is where the seeing happensThe Core Idea:Your craft can take you everywhere - except inward. The stories we tell have the power to tell us something back, but only if we're paying attention. This episode explores what happens when the noise finally stops and we're left standing on honest ground.Featured Guests:Erik Ewers – Director, Editor. Ken Burns's senior editor for 33+ years.

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 344, where we trace how “The End of the Innocence” by Don Henley captures a cultural turning point at the close of the Reagan era, even taking a pointed lyrical swipe at Ronald Reagan. But the story loops back further than you'd expect, long before the Eagles, a young Henley crossed paths with Kenny Rogers, who helped launch his early band Shiloh and set him on the road to stardom. Another key boost came from Linda Ronstadt, whose backing band became the breeding ground for the Eagles' formation You can listen to all our episodes at our website at: https://pod.co/miss-heard-song-lyrics Or iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and many more platforms under Podcast name “Miss Heard Song Lyrics” Please consider supporting our little podcast via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MissHeardSongLyrics or via PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MissHeardSongLyrics #missheardsonglyrics #missheardsongs #missheardlyrics #misheardsonglyrics #podcastinavan #vanpodcast #SongLyricsFails #MusicPodcast #PodcastLovers #MustListen #DonHenley #TheEndoftheInnocence #Eagles #KennyRogers #LindaRonstadt   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOy5KSrwHGw https://www.songfacts.com/facts/don-henley/the-end-of-the-innocence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Innocence_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Innocence_(song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Henley

Jessica Leia is a professional musician, songwriter, multimedia artist, and piano instructor based in Concord, California. With more than two decades of experience in music education and composition, she has created hundreds of original songs that draw directly from personal experience, the lives of others, and the full spectrum of human emotion. Her work is characterized by authenticity, emotional depth, and a distinctive fusion of genres often described as “Rock-icana Pop,” incorporating elements of pop, blues, rock, and funk.Born and raised in Concord, California, within a working-class household that emphasized resilience and quiet opportunity, Leia began songwriting in childhood. She has maintained a prolific output while simultaneously teaching piano and performing in a variety of settings, ranging from musical theatre accompaniment to open-mic hosting and lounge performances. Her recorded catalogue includes two early New Age piano albums, Baby Tears and Dissention, composed during her youth, as well as numerous contemporary releases available on platforms such as Bandcamp.Leia is best known for her long-form video and music project, Me and My Song, which provides her compositions with a permanent home independent of traditional live-performance constraints. Launched after she deliberately stepped away from conventional touring models owing to challenges with band turnover, audience expectations, and the introduction of new material the series presents each song through a meticulously structured four-part arc: its origin story, a raw solo performance, behind-the-scenes studio recording, and a final produced version accompanied by a music video. This format invites audiences to witness the complete creative journey from conception to completion. Season 4 of the project is scheduled for release in June 2026.Her artistic influences include songwriters Carole King and Don Henley, whose seamless integration of melody, rhythm, and lyric she particularly admires. Beyond music, Leia draws inspiration from the teachings of philosopher Alan Watts on self, reality, and consciousness. She remains deeply committed to health, self-inquiry, creative honesty, and causes that promote self-care, self-love, and personal responsibility.

This episode of Guess That Record has Jackson speaking with the incredible Steve Porcaro! A keyboardist and founding member of Toto, Steve has been playing on hit songs since the 1970s. Outside of Toto, he's worked with Yes, Don Henley, and Michael Jackson. For the latter, Steve wrote one of the biggest hits off of the Thriller album, "Human Nature." In this episode, Jackson and Steve talk about his upbringing in a musical family, why he became the go-to expert on synthesizers, and his new record!   Get Connected With Steve: (https://www.steveporcaromusic.com/)  (https://www.instagram.com/steveporcaromusic/?hl=en)   Guess That Record is sponsored by: Marvel Marketing (https://marvelmarketing.ca/) Guitarworks (https://guitarworks.ca/) Recordland (https://www.instagram.com/recordlandcalgary/)   Guess That Record is picked up on radio by these amazing stations: CKMS (https://radiowaterloo.ca/) CKXU (https://ckxu.com/) South Devon Sound (https://southdevonsound.co.uk/)   Visit our website (https://guessthatrecordpodcast.com/) Visit our Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0B5g5u7usVmyLa3IXmga4P) Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/guessthatrecord/?hl=en) Follow us on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@guessthatrecord) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDkfXa3P5XIRWIQkdQ0B9Q)

Live With Danny Kortchmar - Don Henley, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt Kootch tells the story of how his and Don Henley's monster hit, Dirty Laundry was born, how his and Jackson Browne's, Somebody's Baby was birthed, and how Running On Empty was recorded Live. This legendary guitar hero, songwriter, and producer, who's been integral to more hits with more iconic artists than just about anyone I can think of, shared about all of them… James (or Jamie as he calls him), Taylor, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, the aforementioned Don Henley, and Jackson Browne. Kootch talked about his first producing gig - Louise Goffin, and the killer band he put together for her, which included Steve Lukather and Kenny Aaronoff, saying he learned from observing Peter Asher, who produced so many of the albums Kootch played on. He talked about producing Jon Bon Jovi, Toto, and Billy Joel, and the controversy that surrounded that gig. We got a few of his favorite memories through the years, and his shattering heartbreak, losing Lisa Roy, the love of his life, the sad for fans, and the boys themselves, seeming end of his dream band, The Immediate Family, both leading to his leaving LA and relocating to Rhode Island to be near his blood family. We got the hows and whys with little hope of resurrection. We also got his newfound joy playing with his new band, The Back Burners, whom I can't wait to hear. The band features frontman Rocco DeRosa, Marty Ballou on bass, Vinny Pagano on drums, and Joel Latulippe on harmonica. A departure for Danny, it's groove-driven soul and blues. Playing small clubs in the thriving local music scene and preparing to record, Kootch is feeling at home with his new band and his new digs. I've been blessed to know Kootch for some years. Thanks to Steve Postell, Danny played at my book launch for Don't Jump almost a decade ago. He was a pretty serious man of few words for most of the time I knew him. Thanks to Lisa and the bliss of banding with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkle, his fellow mates of The Section, 50 or so years in the playing, and Waddy Wachtel, whom he's gigged with for almost as long, as well as Steve Postell, with whom he's done innumerable projects in more recent years, and appearing in the Denny Tedesco award-winning documentary about them, Kootch was lighter, brighter, and happier than I'd seen him. I hope this move eases recent losses and brings creative and personal fulfillment. I also hold hope that we'll see Kootch, Lee, Russ, Waddy, and Steve reunited, someday in some way. Danny, thanks for your enormous contribution to the soundtrack of my youth.

Paul Rees fell in love with AOR when it began with Boston in 1976, the polished, ramped-up hits that were briefly the music of the American heartland. His book ‘Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986' remembers the age when records were launched via car stereos, their eternally appealing sound and the preposterous lives of the people who wrote and played them – Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Asia, REO Speedwagon, Don Henley and Toto among them. “It's happy music,” he points out. “Music that makes you raise a quizzical eyebrow.” In the mix … … the original AOR sound: “Led Zeppelin hard rock with Eagles harmonies and a stratospheric high-tenor voca|” … the absolute power of producers like Mutt Lange (a man raised on radio jingles) … Pat Benatar, the former married bank clerk who wanted to be Robert Plant in a leotard … “AOR stars were all salesmen who talked in quotes” ... the many reasons Don Henley fired people on a whim … Def Leppard's vision of America built on AOR and cowboy movies … “Chicago and the Tubes never played on their records” … “he ended up butterball-naked in a cocaine threesome sting with two disguised police women” … the producer who had his trout pond realigned as he couldn't work looking at a garden that wasn't symmetrical … the story of Toto's Africa: “tape loops strung round chair-backs and a quick flick through a geography book” … “if this record's a hit I'll run naked down Sunset Boulevard”.

Today on your favorite daily comedy show, we learned two very important things:Moon Valjean now owns a bowling alley.The Internet is not okay.Yes, it's official — Moon is part-owner of Pin-Up Bowl in The Loop, and somehow he manifested it by yelling “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM!” for years. We break down how it happened, what changes are coming, why Pete Weber needs his own velvet lane, and how Rafe is absolutely going to live behind the pin machines like a raccoon with a wrench.But because this is The Rizzuto Show, we can't just celebrate something normal.Nope.We pivot into the Epstein files being searchable by name (which obviously led to everyone panic-Googling themselves), Pokémon Go having a PokéStop on Epstein Island (yes, really), and the horrifying realization that your smart home cameras are probably recording way more than you think. Nothing says “fun morning radio” like existential surveillance dread.In between all that, we debate whether Timothée Chalamet is too confident (spoiler: he's just French and talented), Nickelback potentially collabing with Don Broco, The Black Keys adjusting their tour expectations, and Don Henley refusing to listen to “Desperado” because even legends wake up at 3AM thinking, “I could've done that vocal better.”We also reveal our comfort TV shows (Seinfeld, The Office, Ancient Aliens, and apparently Game of Thrones for “relaxation”), revisit a VERY special episode of Mr. Belvedere that absolutely did not age gently, and nearly get FCC'd by an enthusiastic mashup of Wagon Wheel and Boyz-N-the-Hood.It's bowling. It's conspiracy spirals. It's corporate rock fan analysis. It's PJ Sparks turning 57.It's your favorite daily comedy show doing what it does best — turning local headlines, celebrity chaos, and accidental audio risks into 2+ hours of beautifully structured nonsense.If you came for polished professionalism… we have 73 bowling balls instead.And we'll see you at the Pete Weber lane.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Around the year 2000, keyboardist Jai Winding decided he didn't want to be a hugely successful musician anymore and traded in his rock star life for real estate. He made the right move for him, but boy was it fun while it lasted. Some of the collaborations we discuss this week include the Pointer Sisters, George Benson, Don Henley, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Olivia Newton-John, Howard Jones, and more. Unfortunately, Jai's home, and the homes of many of his clients, were destroyed in the fires in the Pacific Palisades earlier this year and he lost everything including his entire community. Jai fills us in on both sides of his life in this fascinating conversation. Enjoy and Merry Christmas! Be grateful for what you have!  The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Send us a textThe End of the Innocence (and the Beginning of Our Shame)This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're getting philosophical—or at least, as philosophical as we can get while debating 80s rock ballads. We're featuring Don Henley's The End of the Innocence, an album that makes you question your life choices while simultaneously enjoying a massive saxophone solo.Inspired by the title track, Andrew—our resident moral compass and grammar policeman—has brought in the absolute least-fun game imaginable: The Innocence Quiz! This quiz promises to expose every questionable choice, every regrettable moment, and every embarrassing gap in our knowledge base.The stakes are high: Can our entire panel pass this purity test and prove they haven't been corrupted by the ravages of time and podcasting? More importantly, can Chris even spell innocence correctly before the first commercial break? (The entire episode may hinge on his ability to find the 'C's and 'E's.)Tune in for an episode full of self-reflection, aggressive denial, and the horrifying truth that none of us are as pure as Don Henley wants us to be.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

MUSICBook dealer Glenn Horowitz's lawsuit against Eagles' Don Henley and manager Irving Azhoff has been dismissed. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/don-henley-hotel-california-trial-lawsuit/ An overzealous fan accidentally yanked out four dreadlocks from the back of Lenny Kravitz's head during his show Friday in Brisbane, Australia. In a video posted after the show, he said, “You know how hard you've got to pull to rip those out of my head? Damn, baby.” It occurred while he walked through the audience playing “Let Love Rule.” But, the incident won't deter him, as he adds, “I'm not going to stop coming out there for ‘Let Love Rule' because that's our moment together.” Up next is Melbourne on Tuesday. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lenny-kravitz-dreadlocks-brisbane-1236120504/ The opera version of Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness had its debut with performances Friday and Saturday night at the Civic Opera House in Chicago.

Love, lust, and heartbreak are the secret soundtrack of the LA canyons. In this episode of My Rock Moment we welcome Emmeline Summerton of Instagram's Lost Canyons LA, a historian of the LA Canyons and former writer of the New Topanga Times. Together we trace that soundtrack through eight songs — uncovering the romance, the messiness and the broken hearts behind the lyrics. We start with “Guinnevere,” David Crosby's mysterious song inspired by 3 women — Christine Hinton, Joni Mitchell, and the surprising third muse, “Delta Lady” — Leon Russell's ode to Rita Coolidge and the wild, studio-to-road romance that sent them straight into Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs tour. Then we move to the Mamas & the Papas' “Go Where You Wanna Go,” a sunny single born from the band's very messy affairs.    From there:  “Our House,” Graham Nash's tiny, perfect snapshot of life with Joni Mitchell in Laurel Canyon — ordinary moments made into a classic. Then Joni's own “All I Want' about her relationship with James Taylor. We'll also unpack “Leather and Lace,” the duet that reunited Stevie Nicks and Don Henley after a broken romance and leer jet flirtations; “Faithless Love,” J.D. Souther's devastating ballad given wings by Linda Ronstadt during their fraught romance and end with Neil Young's "A Man Needs a Maid" off of Harvest. This is a tour of romance and ruin, tenderness and betrayal — the songs that turned private heartbreak into something the rest of us could sing along to. We'll share the stories behind each track and the music that made the canyons heartbreak famous.

In this episodem we explore the remarkable journey of Bernie Leadon, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose artistry helped define The Eagles' early sound. Often called the unsung hero of The Eagles, Bernie's contributions — from intricate guitar and banjo work to his soaring harmonies — helped shape a sound that has resonated for decades.From his early exposure to bluegrass and folk music in Minneapolis to his groundbreaking work in the West Coast country-rock scene, Bernie Leadon has remained a quiet but powerful force in American music. In this episode, we follow Bernie's path before, during, and after The Eagles, all the way to his most recent solo album, where he revisits the roots that first inspired him.Bernard Leadon III was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into a family that encouraged both creativity and education. While his father worked as an aeronautical engineer and his mother was a teacher, it was the sounds of bluegrass, folk, and country that truly captured young Bernie's imagination.By his teenage years, Bernie had mastered guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dobro, instruments that would become central to his career. After moving to San Diego, he immersed himself in the local music scene, connecting with influential figures like Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, who would later become pivotal in the country-rock movement.Before joining The Eagles, Bernie Leadon played in several key bands that helped define the emerging country-rock genre. He worked with Hearts & Flowers, Dillard & Clark, and most famously, The Flying Burrito Brothers. During this period, Bernie became known as a musician who could add texture and authenticity to any song. His instrumental versatility and collaborative spirit made him highly sought after, setting the stage for his next big move.In 1971, Bernie Leadon joined Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Randy Meisner to form The Eagles. His influence was immediate. On the band's debut album, Eagles (1972), Bernie's mastery of the banjo, guitar, and mandolin was showcased on hits like Take It Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling. His harmonies and songwriting contributions, including Train Leaves Here This Morning and Bitter Creek, helped define the band's distinctive country-rock sound.Bernie continued to shape The Eagles' music on Desperado (1973), On the Border (1974), and One of These Nights (1975). However, as the band gravitated toward a rock-oriented direction with the addition of Don Felder and later Joe Walsh, Bernie felt increasingly disconnected from the evolving sound. In 1975, after years of touring and creative differences, Bernie famously left the band, marking the end of an era for both him and The Eagles.Following his departure, Bernie Leadon remained highly active in the music industry. He became a respected session musician, contributing to recordings by Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Stephen Stills, Randy Newman, and many others. In 1977, he released his first solo album, Natural Progressions, blending his bluegrass roots with rock and folk influences.Over the decades, Bernie continued to perform, collaborate, and record — he returned to The Eagles' “History of the Eagles” tour in 2013.Today, Bernie Leadon has returned with a reflective new solo album called "Too Late to be Cool" showcasing the depth and authenticity that have characterised his entire career. In this episode, we talk about Bernie's journey, his thoughts on music, and what it means to create art on his own terms. Bernie's story is a testament to creativity, versatility, and staying true to one's musical voice.Whether you're a lifelong Eagles fan, a lover of country-rock, or someone curious about the musicians behind the music, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and reflections. Bernie Leadon may not always have sought the spotlight, but his impact on American music is undeniable.

"The Very Day" If you're wondering if the Connecticut-born Grammyt Award winning keyboardist and composer grew up with music in the house, the answer is yes--his father Joe Porcaro was a renowned jazz drummer who played with everyone from Sinatra to Stan Getz to Madonna. He also played on hundreds of film and television scores including The Wild Bunch, I Dream Of Jeannie and Edward Scissorhands. He also founded the Percussion Institute of Technology and later the drum department at the Los Angeles Music Academy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_College_of_Music). So, yeah music was the lifesblood of the Porcaro household and at very young ages, Steve and his brothers Mike and Jeff went into the family business. How early of an age you might be wondering? Well, at 17 when most of us were finishing our last year of high school and thinking about who and who wouldn't go with us to the prom, Steve was playing with Gary Wright's band on his 1976 Dream Weaver tour. A year later while most of us were fumbling our way through our first year of college, Steve and his brothers were in Boz Scaggs's band. In 1978 Steve and his brother Jeff along with a few other session playing pals formed their own band called Toto. How'd that work out? Well, 50 million albums later, I'd say it worked out very well, thank you. From "Hold The Line" to "Rosanna" to "Africa" Toto had a procession of hits, became one of the biggest bands on the planet and went on to compose the music for David Lynch's Dune. Steve left the fold in 1987 and went on to compose and score for countless film and television projects, including From Dusk Til Dawn 2, Eddie Murphy's Metro and he did all the original music for Justified. This is just a partial list, by the way--he also wrote the song "Human Nature" which Michael Jackson recorded on his Thriller album, the beginning of several compositions he wrote for Jackson to record. Considered one of the pioneers of analog synths, Porcaro's inventive loops appeared on works by everyone from Elton John to Don Henley. When it comes to artists he's collaborated with, here's a list that's going to knock you out: Hall and Oates, Earth Wind and Fire, Sheena Easton, Diana Ross, Warren Zevon, Jefferson Airplane, Yes, and Michael McDonald. Also a partial list. And speaking of Yes, Porcaro was good friends with Yes's Chris Squire and played in his band The Chris Squire Experiment. Porcaro's second solo album The Very Day is one of 2025's real bright spots. Featuring guest appearances by Stan Lynch, Jude Cole, Michael McDonald, Gardner Cole and his Toto pal David Paich, The Very Day is a stirring song cycle of effortless pop melodies, rootsy grooves and insanely catchy hooks. It's pure magic. And this conversation felt the same. Steve's an open book and a lovely guy and I can't wait for you to meet him, www.steveporcaromusic.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereo) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

"Will & Grace": Quote, "I could never get through one episode without feeling that my queerness was being used as a punchline . . . being gay was either silly, or you were doomed to be alone and sad."4. "Friends": Quote, "Fat jokes, gay jokes, everyone in New York is white inexplicably, Ross sleeps with a student, sleeps with his school librarian in high school, tries to kiss his cousin, violates Rachel's boundaries . . . etc." Another brought up the transphobic stuff involving Chandler's parents.5. "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air": This person REALLY went off on Uncle Phil. Quote, "Will was a teenager dating grown women every other episode, and Phil and Vivian just let it happen. "Phil claimed to be pro-Black but voted for Reagan twice, was ashamed of his background as a pig farmer, and detested 'lowly' and working-class Black people."He blamed Will for everything that went wrong, even if he had nothing to do with it. And he was sexist and controlling AF, trying to forbid a 25-year-old Hilary from posing for Playboy or Ashley from doing anything."6. "Mrs. Doubtfire": "Between the transphobia and the part where he makes a pact with the older two kids to keep it a secret from their mom, it hasn't aged well."AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
