Listen to how our guest John Spinks decided as a young man to make his escape from the PBCC cult and what his plan for leaving looked like. John reminded us their are over 40,000 different religions worldwide and each one of them believes they are the "chosen" one. So that means if you belong to a religion you have approximately 40,000 to 1 chances of being in the "Chosen" one! John explains how his experience led him to write a book about it years later and the emotional journey that writing the book took him on. He received strict orders from inside the church no to write his book which slowed him down not even one bit!!

The Outfield, John Spinks, and beads of sweat.
Hear the incredible story of John Spinks in the Exclusive Brethren cult and his escape at age 22 which took four years to plan. Growing up, John and his family's secret-from-the-world lifestyle, seemed as normal to them as brushing your teeth twice a day. However, in time, a conflict of values developed and his older brother Andrew left home at the age of 16. John left when he was 22 and his next brother Peter, left when he was 26. Their youngest brother Stephen stayed and got married and is still there to this day. The brothers knew that once they left the Exclusive Brethren, their family and friends would be separated from them by their Man of God's laws that they were under, and therefore would not be allowed to have anything to do with them. Learn more about how cults operate John is now a father of an amazing daughter and lives on the Wirral Peninsular in England. He describes himself as non-religious and loves God who he believes is also non-religious. His belief nowadays is that God is right and he loves me and you unconditionally.

The Outfield, Tony Lewis, and John Spinks.
The tight, well produced sound of Play Deep would make you think that this is the third or fourth album from The Outfield, but this was their debut studio album, and it went triple platinum in the United States. Percussionist Alan Jackman, guitarist/keyboardist (and songwriter) John Spinks, and bassist/lead vocalist Tony Lewis had worked together since the late 70's, and were in a band called The Baseball Boys when Columbia Records signed them in 1984. Their manager suggested that the name was a little too "tacky," and this prompted the shift to The Outfield. The band was signed largely on their being an “American sounding” group in England. This would lead to a successful US debut. Unfortunately, they would suffer for that in their home country, and The Outfield would never have a hit album in the UK. Some refer to their sound as power pop, or pop rock. The Outfield would have been heard more on pop stations than on rock stations in the 80's. There's a little new wave mixed in, and it is very well produced.John Spinks passed away in 2014 of liver cancer, and unfortunately Tony Lewis passed away a few weeks before the release of this podcast. So in a way, this is a tribute to a great “All American Sounding” band. RIP boys. I Don't Need HerThis deeper cut reminds us of Big Country or U2, with rich harmonies and a distinctive echo. "I'm so glad that I don't need her and I'm too tired of trying to please her, but in the end I just can't leave her. Can't leave her tonight."61 SecondsYou will definitely notice the mid-80's sound of this upbeat track. It is a song for the nameless worker in a large business. "61 seconds is all it takes for the 9-to 5-man to be more than one minute late." It's so hard to think of work as 9-to-5 anymore.All the LoveThis track was one of the singles from the album. It went to number 14 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Most of the songs on this album have a similar sound, with high harmonies, prominent echo, and well-produced effects overall.Your LoveIt is amazing how big this song became. This track made it to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and is a completely fictional story about “Josie.” It took the group about 20 minutes to write the song - apparently inspired by The Who - and the band was shocked with how well it did. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“Pretty in Pink” by The Psychedelic Furs The "Brat Pack" were prominent in this John Hughes film. The soundtrack to "Pretty in Pink" is a who's-who of mid-80's new wave bands. STAFF PICKS:Rock Me Amadeus by FalcoWayne leads off with Austrian musician Falco's song with the distinction of being the only German language song to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It was inspired by the Oscar award-winning movie "Amadeus."Life in a Northern Town by the Dream AcademyBruce's staff pick is the biggest hit for The Dream Academy, and features some unusual instruments for the rock genre, including tympani and oboe. It is an elegy to Nick Drake who died in 1971, and parts of the song were composed on Drake's guitar.Kyrie by Mr. MisterBrian's pick was inspired by a portion of the Catholic/Orthodox mass by way of the Episcopal church. Kyrie Eleison means "Lord have mercy." This track was a follow up to Mr. Mister's hit "Broken Wings." Manic Monday by The BanglesRob's staff pick was actually written by Prince. He originally intended it for Apollonia 6, but would be a hit for The Bangles. It reflects the travails of a working woman going to the office every week.COMEDY TRACK:The Super Bowl Shuffle by The Chicago Bears "Shuffling Crew"The Chicago Bears put out a rap video in the midst of their quest for a Super Bowl win. They would indeed win the Super Bowl, and this song peaked at number 41 in February 1986.
In light of the recent passing of Tony Lewis, Episode 14 takes a look back at the career and music of The Outfield. We discuss how the partnership between bassist/vocalist Tony Lewis, guitarist/songwriter John Spinks and drummer Alan Jackman created maybe *the* greatest pop-rock song of the 1980's, in addition to the rest of their catalog, which includes a tremendous amount of wonderful music. John and Tony have since passed away, so this episode has been recorded in tribute to them, and it is meant as a celebration of the incredible work these men gave to the world. RIP.

I catch up with Tony Lewis of The Outfield who recently released his solo album, “Out of the Darkness”. Tony talks about the process making the album and losing his longtime friend and bandmate John Spinks. We talk about The Outfield’s iconic song, “Your Love”, and its lasting appeal.
Steve Cooper talks with singer/songwriter Tony Lewis. Tony is best known as co-founder of The Outfield. Together with John Spinks, the two took the 80s by storm with their infectious pop songs, including Your Love, All the Love and Say it isn’t So. Their debut album, Play Deep, was issued in 1985, and would go on to reach triple platinum sales status and the Top 10 in the US album charts. Your Love peaked at No. 6 and is still featured in a number of compilation albums, commercials, and has been covered or remixed over 1,000 times by other artists. After the success of the first album, The Outfield went on to record many more albums with various drummers. Tony recently released his solo album Out of the Darkness and performed on the Retro Futura tour.

Britain's The Outfield broke out in a big way in 1985 when their debut album Play Deep sold three million units and scored hits as enduring as "Your Love" and "Say It Isn't So". While subsequent albums didn't sell as much, their place as pop/rock craftsmen was cemented forever. They tapered off in the 90s, but never really went away, even releasing two of their strongest albums in 2006 and 2011. Unfortunately, guitarist and song-writer John Spinks died in 2014 of liver cancer leaving lead singer Tony Lewis to do some serious soul searching. The result is Tony's decision to reluctantly carry on as a solo artist, releasing his first solo album Out of the Darkness on 6/29. Here we talk about how he finally decided to keep going and his former band's wild ride. John Spinks will always be missed, but we still have Tony's voice and a near perfect legacy to enjoy. https://www.tonylewismusic.com/
