Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: March 12, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS8 E3: Holly Knight - (Hall of Fame Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Author) - I Am The WarriorSHOW SUMMARY:Meet Holly Knight, the songwriting force behind some of the most iconic rock and pop anthems of all time. From "Love is a Battlefield" to "The Best," Holly crafted lyrics and melodies that defined the MTV era and continue to resonate today.  Starting as a classical piano prodigy at age four, Holly's path took a dramatic turn when she left home at 15 to pursue her rock and roll dreams. What followed was an extraordinary journey from performing in clubs to writing chart-topping hits that would be recorded by legends like Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, Aerosmith, and Rod Stewart.  Holly shares the fascinating story of her musical evolution - from her early days in the band Spider to her pivotal meeting with producer Mike Chapman that launched her songwriting career. With refreshing candor, she reveals the organic nature of her creative process, describing how melodies seem to flow through her fingers "like a Ouija board" when she sits at a piano or guitar. This approach has yielded an astonishing legacy: Holly currently ranks in the top 1% of songwriters globally with over 2.3 billion streams in 2024 alone.  Beyond the hits themselves, our conversation explores the changing music industry landscape, from the analog days of liner notes to today's digital streaming world where songwriters often remain invisible. We discuss Holly's 2013 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (one of only sixteen women among 400+ male inductees at that time), her bestselling memoir "I Am the Warrior," and her passion for black and white photography. If you've ever wondered about the creative mind behind some of rock's most empowering anthems, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of a true songwriting legend.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web Pagewww.hollyknight.comwww.hollyknightphoto.comCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

Vision Quest was released in theaters February 15, 1985. Based on a book that was hot in the young adult space, it featured a young Matthew Modine as Loudon Swain - a high school wrestler from Spokane, Washington who is looking to accomplish something big in his life. While the movie had limited appeal beyond teenagers (it only grossed $13 million), cable TV and video rental stores gave the movie continued life among teenagers for many years. A big reason it continued to draw 80s teens and carry such strong nostalgia today is the soundtrack. Put together by John Kalodner for Geffen Records, it featured some of the hottest pop and rock artists of the day and sold over 1 million copies in the US. Madonna, who was hot off her Like A Virgin Tour, contributes two songs - the unreleased as a single in the US Gambler and mega hit Crazy For You - and she had a cameo in the film singing them both. Journey offered Only The Young from the Frontiers sessions and the video, like Crazy For You, featured scenes from the film, helping the singles sell big numbers. Those two songs along with Red Rider's Lunatic Fringe set the tone for the film and make the songs and movie so intertwined. Some songs from bands like The Style Council, Don Henley and Dio might be overlooked as background music to certain scenes, songs like Change by John Waite (written by the legend Holly Knight) and Lunatic Fringe really keep you energized and engaged in Loudon's quest to drop 22 pounds and beat the unbeatable Shute on the wrestling mat. You have the tender Crazy For You for the romantic scenes, Journey for the training scenes and lots of rock and pop royalty. Even great songs by Berlin, Quarterflash and REO Speedwagon were left off the soundtrack but appear in the movie, including some solid work by Tangerine Dream. Maybe we like this film because as two former teenage boys, we could relate to what this guy was going through. But we continue to like the soundtrack because it had killer songs (with a couple of clunkers) that stand the test of time and play a huge role in the film.

In this episode, we take a journey back to the 80s to explore Device's only album, '22B3', the choice of this week's guest co-host, our antipodean based pal, Crag! We delve into the album's rich synth-pop-rock sound and discuss why it remains an underrated gem. The key member of this act is the overlooked, yet all time great pop rock songwriter Holly Knight. She was the mastermind behind many iconic hits from the likes of Tina Turner, Bonnie Tyler, Heart and penned songs for Kiss, Bon Jovi, Cheap Trick, Meatloaf and so many more. On 22b3, she takes centre stage and we use this episode to investigate her influential yet often overlooked contributions. As we go through each track, we highlight the distinctive 80s production techniques, unique sounds, and memorable melodies. Crag shares insights into the equipment used and provides some industry context, which makes for a fascinating deep dive into 80s music culture. From discussing the album's standout tracks like 'Hanging on a Heart Attack' to exploring the various musical influences and collaborations, this episode is packed with intriguing details and anecdotes. We also connect the album to wider music histories and trends, giving listeners a thorough understanding of its place in music lore. As always, we wrap up with our Nexus, this time linking Device to Debbie McGee in a surprisingly twisted route through music and pop culture history. If you're a fan of 80s music, keen on unsung musical heroes, or simply love a good musical anecdote, this episode is a nostalgic treat you won't want to miss. 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 01:26 Listener Suggestions and Album Selection 02:56 Patreon and Membership Perks 05:25 Political Commentary and Americana 09:29 Album Discussion: Device - 22B3 16:49 Holly Knight's Career and Contributions 38:13 Paul Engeman and the Band's Background 47:37 Introduction to Marauder and George Tukto 47:52 Technical Credits and Chart Performance 48:33 Musical Equipment and 80s Sound 50:08 Diving into the Tracks 50:43 Track Analysis: Hanging on a Heart Attack 54:43 Track Analysis: Who Says 57:05 Track Analysis: Pieces on the Ground 58:50 Track Analysis: Tough and Tender 01:01:24 Track Analysis: When Love is Good 01:03:39 Track Analysis: Didn't I Read You Right 01:06:04 Track Analysis: Fall Apart, Golden Heart 01:09:10 Track Analysis: I've Got No Room for Your Love 01:11:42 Track Analysis: Who's on the Line 01:14:11 Track Analysis: Sandstone, Cobwebs and Dust 01:16:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 01:24:21 Nexus Segment: From Device to Debbie McGee 01:32:20 Closing Remarks and Upcoming Guests

This may be one of our most important episodes yet. Today, we answer the questions: What do you do when your husband is unwilling, unable, or unavailable to be the spiritual leader of your household? What if you're single or divorced and don't have a man to be the "head of your house?" What authority do we have as women/wives to take the "spiritual reins" for our family? We'll look at the story of one amazing wife who literally spared her husband from death with an amazing act of faith, as well as touch on multiple stories of other women who stepped in when the situation demanded it.

"It's Only Rock and Roll" There's a lot to tell about Michael Des Barres, but let's start with the music. In the early '70s, the Sussex-born singer/songwriter fronted the glam rock band Silverhead, who were signed to Deep Purple's label. He decided to try his luck on the West Coast, moving to L.A. and fronting the rock/soul outfit, who were signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records. In '82, Des Barres formed the hard rock band Chequered Past with Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols and Clem Burke of Blondie. That band opened for folks like INXS and Duran Duran and that Duran Duran association proved auspicious as Des Barres was invited by Andy Taylor to replace Robert Palmer as the singer of The Power Station. I know I said Des Barres was a rock and roll chameleon, but at this point he sounds more like a rock and roll shark, doesn't he? He never stops moving. Des Barres fronted The Power Station at Live Aid and along the way he co-wrote "Obsession" with Holly Knight, which became a global hit for Animotion, he put out fabulous solo records, fronted another band called The Mistakes and in 2013 he joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the world premiere of 200 Motels: The Suites, by Frank Zappa in which he appeared as Rance, the narrator. We'll get to his new album in a second, but let's talk about his acting first. Des Barres has so many IMDB credits, it's dizzying. Getting his start at age eight, he's appeared in over 100 television shows and close to fifty movies. Let me run through a few because it's nuts: All you '80s kids might remember him in The Ghoulies, but he was in To Sir With Love, Under Siege, and David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and on television he was on Roseanne, Just Shoot Me, Frasier, Seinfeld, St. Elsewhere and MacGyver. Des Barres is a true rock and roll chameleon, because, like a chameleon, he's able to effortlessly change from situation to situation. That subtle shapeshifting quality makes folks like Des Barres able to basically do whatever he wants because he has massive range and can move through the cultural space with otherworldly ease. Des Barres' new album It's Only Rock and Roll is an affectionate tipping of the hat to the songs of the '70s that he loves. From Roxy Music's Love Is The Drug to Sweet's Fox On The Run to the Faces' Stay With Me, this is a scorcher of a record that features Des Barres sounding better than ever--his delivery still has the same muscular pounce and raw elegance and the 12 songs here are delivered with equal parts affection, admiration and grace. And this interview? An absolute blast. www.michaeldebarres.com (http://www.michaeldebarres.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

y 1989, Ace Frehley had been out of KISS for 7 years and during that time he'd maintained a debaucherous lifestyle including car accidents and very little in the way of new music. Finally Eddie Trunk helped get him signed to Megaforce and got him working. Frehley's Comet released 2 albums in 1987 & !988 (Frehley's Comet, Second Sighting) trying to reestablish himself on the rock circuit. And while 1989's Trouble Walkin' was a solid offering for the time it was released, looking back it's easy to see why it didn't crack the top 100 in the US. Though Ace and Richie Scarlet put together some catchy, heavy riffs with some signature Ace guitar licks, Ace's vocal need help. Left alone they're too bare unless they have the sing-a-long chorus behind him. Shot Full of Rock Five Card Stud and the title track are great straight ahead rockers...until the vocals kick in. As usual, Ace's lyrics are somewhere between silly and bad. But we're Ace fans darnit! So we like hearing what he does. Fractured III connects the record to his 1978 solo and first Frehley's Comet album with a solid instrumental. But lyrics on songs like Back To School, 2 Young 2 Die and Five Card Stud illustrate why KISS had to reign him in on those records. And the mystery is why did Ace cover Hide Your Heart, a song written by Paul Stanley, Desmond Child & Holly Knight, which was originally sung by Bonnie Tyler and that KISS would feature on their album Hot In The Shade? It's a head scratcher but maybe Ace was ready to show his old bandmates that he can still rock, even with their tracks. But as college students, we loved this one and wanted to celebrate Ace as Trouble Walkin' turns 35!

Today's episode starts off light and fun as Holly and Janie recall some of their insane medical stories. (A fun biology lesson is involved.) We then pivot into a very serious subject in the Bible regarding Bathsheba and King David. We debunk centuries-old myths about Bathsheba's compliance and participation in the "affair" with King David by taking a deep dive into the text. Our prayer is that this episode sets many of you on a journey of healing and wholeness in Christ.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with difficult content including rape, sexual abuse, sexual assault, and victim shaming.Bible Verses Referenced:2 Samuel 11:1-272 Samuel 12:1-62 Samuel 12:24-251 Kings 1:1-401 Kings 2:19Proverbs 31Matthew 1:6Sisters with Swords is produced and edited by Holly Knight.
