Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriters Hall of Famer Lou Gramm shares stories about his career, from his pre-Foreigner days all the way to his latest album, Released. PART ONE Scott and Paul chat about Scott's solemn vow to Lou Gramm, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and how multi-national bands just might be a model for social healing. PART TWO Our in-depth conversation with Lou Gramm ABOUT LOU GRAMM Lou Gramm is best known as the powerhouse vocalist for the band Foreigner, which hit the scene in 1977 with the now-classic hit “Feels Like the First Time.” Working with partner Mick Jones, Gramm co-wrote many of the band's hits, including “Cold as Ice,” “Long, Long Way From Home,” “Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Head Games,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “Juke Box Hero.” The late 1970s superstars successfully navigated a transition into the 1980s with synth-driven hit power ballads such as “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Say You Will,” and “I Don't Want to Live Without You.” Gramm went on to pursue a solo career, finding success with singles such as “Midnight Blue” and “Just Between You and Me.” After a nearly 40 year break as a solo artist, Lou has recently issued his third studio album, entitled Released. Featuring 10 songs originally written in the 1980s during his era, the recordings have been completed and updated for today. Lou was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013 and, as a member of Foreigner, into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tonight on Exclusively Van Halen, we're diving into the making of 5150—the album that changed everything for Van Halen. After the departure of David Lee Roth, the band brought in Sammy Hagar and kicked off a whole new era. We'll talk about how Eddie Van Halen expanded the band's sound with keyboards, the pressure of creating a make-or-break record, and the role Mick Jones played in shaping the album behind the scenes. From the intense sessions at 5150 Studios to the powerful vocals on tracks like Dreams, this is the story of how the band reinvented itself—and came out on top. 5150 didn't just succeed—it became Van Halen's first #1 album and proved they could evolve and still dominate.

The Strange Brew - artist stories behind the greatest music ever recorded
Lou Gramm discusses his long-awaited album Released and how it brings unfinished songs back to life. Gramm also opens up about Foreigner's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the politics that delayed their recognition, and the emotional moment of finally taking the stage to accept the honour. The podcast explores the rekindling of his relationship with Mick Jones, overlooked Foreigner albums such as Mr. Moonlight and the short-lived Shadow King project, both of which Gramm believes deserve far greater attention.

Leeds drew 0-0 with Brentford in a frustrating goalless stalemate at Elland Road - a combined xG of just one, 64 shots without scoring, and five consecutive Premier League games without an open play goal. James, Rocco and Darragh break down why Leeds look predictable in the 3-5-2, whether Farke's "draws will do" approach is the right call, and which players need more minutes to unlock defences. Plus, Keith Andrews' Spygate hypocrisy exposed after Brentford's goalkeeper faked an injury for a tactical huddle, Mick Jones honoured at Elland Road, the relegation battle heats up after Spurs were hammered 3-0 by Forest, and why Leeds' remaining fixtures against four of the bottom five could be the key to survival. Also: Calvert-Lewin and Stach's international call-ups, the Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight tribute, and Darragh's Irish trip to Leeds.
London in the mid-seventies was not a comfortable place to be young. Unemployment was climbing, the National Front was gaining ground on the streets, and the music coming out of the mainstream had nothing to say about any of it. Punk arrived as a reaction, detonated largely by the Sex Pistols, but if the Pistols were the bomb, The Clash were the politics that followed. Joe Strummer, born John Graham Mellor, had been fronting a pub rock outfit called the 101ers when he saw the Sex Pistols play in the spring of 1976 and understood immediately that everything had to change. He quit within days and joined guitarist Mick Jones and bassist Paul Simonon, who had been playing together in a pre-punk group called London SS. Simonon came up with the name after noticing it appearing constantly in British newspaper headlines: race clashes, class clashes, political clashes. It fit perfectly. With drummer Terry Chimes completing the lineup, they played their first show on 4 July 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols in Sheffield, having rehearsed for less than a month. The Clash signed to CBS Records in January 1977 for a reported £100,000 and immediately had to defend the deal against accusations of selling out. Their answer was their self-titled debut album, recorded in three weekends for roughly £4,000 and released in April 1977. It was raw, fast, and direct in a way the music press had rarely encountered: thirty-five minutes of songs about unemployment, police harassment, boredom, and the grinding weight of class. ‘Career Opportunities', ‘White Riot', and ‘Janie Jones' announced a band writing from lived experience rather than spectacle. Critically, the album also included a cover of Junior Murvin's reggae track ‘Police and Thieves', signalling from the outset that The Clash were listening beyond punk, that their cultural reference points stretched into the Jamaican community in London, a community living under the same conditions of poverty and institutional racism that Strummer was putting into lyrics. CBS's American division refused to release the album, deeming it too raw for US radio. In the UK it reached number twelve and announced the band as something serious and lasting. Their second album, Give ‘Em Enough Rope, released in 1978 with American producer Sandy Pearlman at CBS's insistence, had a bigger, more polished sound that sat uneasily with the band's instincts. It sold well but felt constrained. What mattered more that year was where The Clash were placing themselves politically. They headlined the Rock Against Racism concert in Victoria Park in east London in April 1978, drawing a crowd of over 80,000 people at a time when far-right parties were actively recruiting in British cities. They had also recorded the furious single ‘Complete Control' in 1977 with Lee ‘Scratch' Perry producing, a direct response to CBS releasing a track without the band's approval, and a signal of how seriously they took the connection between Jamaican music and the political fire in their own work. The band insisted their records be priced accessibly, refused to charge inflated ticket prices, and were chronically in debt to their label as a result. For The Clash, the politics were never separate from the music. They were the same thing. The impact The Clash left behind is difficult to overstate. Chuck D has credited them as the direct template for Public Enemy's approach to socially conscious lyrics and their relationship with the press. Tom Morello, who inducted the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, built the entire philosophy of Rage Against the Machine on the question The Clash asked first: what happens when you put radical politics inside music with real rhythmic weight and make people want to move to it? Their influence runs through Massive Attack, U2, the Beastie Boys, and virtually every artist who has ever believed that bass and conviction belong in the same room. Joe Strummer died on 22 December 2002, one month before that Hall of Fame induction, at the age of fifty. The music has not stopped mattering since. This mix pulls from the early years, the fury of the debut, the political fire of the singles, and the moment a band from west London decided that punk was only the beginning. Turn it up.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into one of the most intense turning points in rock history—when Van Halen lost David Lee Roth and nearly tore themselves apart in the studio. “He locked himself in the studio and threatened to burn the tapes…”—a dramatic stand-off that symbolized the chaos inside the band. But with the arrival of Sammy Hagar and help from Mick Jones of Foreigner, Van Halen regrouped, reloaded, and proved the April Fool's Day announcement was no joke. We break down how the band rebounded from losing a superstar frontman and came back stronger—ultimately winning the “war” and launching a new era that took them straight to the top of the charts.

Don and Dude continue honoring Casey Kasem with another Classic Casey Countdowns visit, this time to November 25, 1978, when disco, rock, and pop intertwined on the American Top 40. This episode highlights two albums behind that week's Top 10 hits, celebrating the sound of a Thanksgiving spent around radios and record players.Chic – C'est Chic (1978) New York studio pros Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards turned Chic into a precision-groove machine on their second LP, fusing disco, funk, and R&B into sleek, minimal arrangements that still feel luxurious. Driven by the monster hit “Le Freak,” the record balances party-starter anthems with emotionally rich cuts like “I Want Your Love,” showcasing airtight rhythm section work, tasteful strings, and a cool, upscale dancefloor vibe.Foreigner – Double Vision (1978) Fresh off their blockbuster debut, Foreigner sharpened their arena-rock formula on Double Vision, pairing Lou Gramm's powerhouse vocals with Mick Jones's riff-heavy guitar lines and radio-ready hooks. From the punchy opener “Hot Blooded” to the grinding title track and moodier deep cuts, the album captures a band refining its identity through tight songwriting, dramatic dynamics, and a polished yet muscular late 70s rock sound.Dude is Diggin':The Pretty Reckless – Taylor Momsen's Pretty Reckless Christmas (2025): A six-track holiday set where Taylor Momsen blends hard rock crunch with nostalgic seasonal moods, highlighted by a powerful new version of “Where Are You Christmas?”.Various Artists – Saturday Night Fever Original Movie Soundtrack (1977) (vinyl): A landmark disco document packed with Bee Gees smashes and club classics, perfectly channeling the sweaty, cinematic pulse of the late 70s dancefloor.Don is Diggin':Magic Wands – Cascades (2025): Dreamy, guitar-and-synth-driven pop steeped in gothic and new wave textures, full of shimmering atmospheres and mystical, nocturnal imagery.Vince Gill – 50 Years From Home: Secondhand Smoke (2025): Reflective country storytelling that blends personal memories with social themes, delivered in Gill's warm tenor and supported by a cast of Nashville collaborators.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” – Casey Kasem
Having spent his early years in London, Mark Ronson grew up in Manhattan, began working as a DJ as a teenager and quickly made a name for himself on the New York club scene of the 1990s. He moved into music production and, in 2006, co-wrote and co-produced the Amy Winehouse album Back To Black. The record won five Grammys and Mark Ronson himself scooped the Producer of the Year Award. Since then, he has released five solo albums and worked with some of the most successful names in pop including Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Queens Of The Stone Age and Paul McCartney. The winner of ten Grammys and two Brits, he added an Academy Award to his list of accolades in 2018 as co-writer of the song Shallow from the film A Star Is Born. He was also Oscar nominated for his work as executive producer, composer and songwriter for the soundtrack to the Barbie movie. More recently he has written a book called Night People, a memoir about his time as a DJ in 90s New York. Mark Ronson tells John Wilson about the influence of his music-loving parents, who often threw parties at their north London home when he was a child. He talks about the influence of his stepfather Mick Jones, songwriter, guitarist and producer of the 80s rock band Foreigner, who allowed Mark to experiment with equipment in his home studio in New York and encouraged his early interest in production. He remembers how hearing the 1992 track They Reminisce Over You by Pete Rock and CL Smooth led him to pursue a career as a club DJ and become renowned for the diverse range of music he played in clubs - from soul and hip-hop to classic rock - an eclectic approach which later informed his work as a producer. Mark Ronson also recalls first meeting Amy Winehouse and how they wrote and recorded the songs for her Back To Black album. Producer: Edwina Pitman

Richard Bellia in conversation with David Eastaugh https://richardbellia.com/ Photographer Richard Bellia was there when it mattered carrying his trusted camera to capture moments in music's vast cannon of historical importance, some which now forms his own tapestry of work in Un œil sur la musique 1980-2016 i.e. An eye on music 1980-2016. The intro to the book says ‘'a thousand photos: breathe the same air as the musicians, feel the bass, the riffs and the silences, sixtieth of a second per sixtieth of a second.'' With this in mind its hard not to get stuck straight in with the mammoth heavyweight volume of photos infront of you. The first striking images come from prime Punk era via Denmark Street, John Lydon looking grimacingly at the camera in the studio and on stage with PiL, Joe Strummer looking cool as holding his guitar towards the camera, Topper Headon, Mick Jones and leather clad Paul Simonon all looking equally stunning in separate shots.

Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Rainbow Village Awards More Than $25K in Microgrants to Families in Need Rainbow Village's fifth annual Microgrant Award Ceremony, held on December 10, 2024, awarded nearly $26,000 to 28 households in need. Funded by the Better Together Women’s Giving Circle, these microgrants support recipients in achieving financial stability, repairing vehicles, pursuing education, and covering emergency medical or rental expenses. Over the event’s five years, a total of $102,604.32 has been distributed. CEO Melanie Conner emphasized the program’s role as a “hand-up,” not a handout, enabling families to regain self-sufficiency. This year’s ceremony, attended by nearly 100 people, highlighted its remarkable growth since starting via Zoom in 2020 with just 15 participants. STORY 2: Greater Atlanta Christian School Collects Food for Salvation Army Greater Atlanta Christian School has participated in the 11Alive/Salvation Army Can-A-Thon since 2012, and this year, its 1,800 students collected 28,730 non-perishable food items. These donations aim to combat food insecurity in Gwinnett County and beyond. On December 6, students from all grade levels sorted, packed, and delivered the items, accompanied by festive music from the GAC Concert Choir. Efforts throughout November included competitions and family-supported shopping, which helped surpass donation goals. School officials highlighted the event as a reflection of Christ’s love through service and generosity, emphasizing the true spirit of Christmas and the community's shared commitment to giving. STORY 3: Gwinnett will celebrate Hanukkah with five public menorah lightings Gwinnett County will celebrate Hanukkah starting December 25, aligning with Christmas this year due to the lunar-based Jewish calendar.

Drop-off locations include select fire stations, with trees transported to Bethesda Park for the main event on January 25. Executive Director Schelly Marlatt emphasizes the environmental benefits, noting treecycling reduces landfill waste, prevents harmful methane emissions, and enriches the soil. Volunteers 14+ can register online to assist during the event. STORY 5: Murphy and Watkins feted as they depart Gwinnett's school board Mary Kay Murphy retired from Gwinnett County Public Schools’ board after nearly 30 years, leaving a legacy of growth and innovation, including the creation of 76 schools and the Gwinnett Educational Management System.

We start this episode with Tom telling the story of how he almost got fired from his job – and how it almost meant the end of Famous Lost Words before it even started! Then we continue with our series on ‘70s Rock. Last week we featured Boston, The Doobie Brothers, Jethro Tull, BTO and others. This week, more from that era, including a great series of interview clips with Mick Jones and Lou Gramm of Foreigner, with the latter taking a big swing at the former's dictatorial ways. Then a very interesting interview with Journey, right from the time when they are about to take off – but haven't yet had a major hit. We also have another early career interview with ELO – and the struggle to marry classical and rock and make it work in a live setting. Plus, Dennis DeYoung from Styx explains how a Chicago disc jockey changed the fortunes of that band. Then, in a clip from the mid ‘70s, Steve Priest of Sweet tells us how they changed their image before they hit North America – and explains the story behind Ballroom Blitz. And for Canadian rock fans, we have Prism and Trooper telling us about ambitious plans, their biggest hits, and the toughest Canadian audience to play for. Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Foreigner guitarist Bruce Watson was having a better hair day, finished his crisp white shirt with a black jacket (I'd intended to do in kind with mine, but I was rushing and couldn't get my cuffs through my sleeves), and surrounded himself with cool guitars and warm lights. Rockstar! I dig the cut of his jib. Almost as much as I appreciate how accessible, down-to-earth, humble, and lovely he is. Not a likely combination, but oh, so charming. And entertaining! What a great storyteller! Bruce took us through his extraordinary ancestry. The Watsons have been Valley Boys since the 1600s. Not! But they have been in America since then, in LA since the 1890s or so… likewise, his mother's people, from Cork. Great story there - how and why they got here. We got the skinny on where the passion started - The Monkees - Hey Micky - and Creedance- the dream - to be a rockstar - his first band, Eragon, that no one, including me, could say correctly, covering The Eagles and Zeppelin - hysterical day jobs, great stories there, his first big gig touring with Toto's Bobby Kimball, then Patty Smyth with Rod Stewart, then Rod hisself. Bruce, although not a “reader,” was getting lots of session work for film, TV, and commercials, one of which was producing a spot with B.B. King- what a poignant, moving story. Recording with a very young Christina Aguilera, her break out, What a Girl Wants, and just out of the box, Sara Bareilles' Love Song, through Bennett Salvay meeting composer W.G. Snuffy Walden, and giving them just what they needed for their Friday Night Lights, getting the call to fill in for an ill Mick Jones - a temp gig - Bruce was busy, enjoying session work, his home and his family, with no intention of touring - then getting extended… again and again… finally joining Mick and becoming a permanent member of Foreigner. The Rockstar young Bruce dreamt of being realized in full force and boy does he wear it well. A killer player, he's got the hair, the moves, and the clothes, and I got him to tell us where he shops. I wanna hit the stores with him. It's all about how he puts it together. Bruce Watson is all that… and a jumbo bag of Cheetos. Talent, looks, genuine sweetness, and fun. Rockers, please take note… you can reach the pinnacle, look amazing doing it, and still be a mensch. Be like Bruce! Bruce Watson Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 11/20/24, 5 PM PT, 8 PM ET Streamed Live on my Facebook Replay here: https://bit.ly/48YTzp0
Will the real Mick Jones please stand up?! Millwall preview, mailbag and more!
Ever wondered what Foreigner's biggest hit was? Or why they were called Foreigner in the first place? Maybe you'd like to know if there are any original members left and what happened to their lead singer? Did you see the band finally being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? All of these questions and more answered this week as Foreigner co-founder Al Greenwood joins us for a chat. Al is best known as the keyboardist of the iconic rock band Foreigner, formed in 1976 alongside Mick Jones, Lou Gramm, Ian McDonald, Ed Gagliardi, and Dennis Elliott. His classical training and experience in jazz and progressive rock were essential in crafting the band's sound, which blended hard rock with sophisticated keyboard arrangements. During his time with Foreigner, Al contributed to the band's first three multi-platinum albums: "Foreigner" (1977), "Double Vision" (1978), and "Head Games" (1979). He co-wrote several of the band's hit songs, including the classic tracks "Cold As Ice" and "Blue Morning, Blue Day." After parting ways with Foreigner in 1980, Al didn't step away from the music scene. He went on to co-found the band Spys in 1981, a group known for their blend of rock, pop, and new wave influences. With Spys, Al continued to showcase his skills as a songwriter and keyboardist, releasing two albums that received critical acclaim for their innovative sound. Beyond his work with that band, he became a sought-after session musician, arranger, and producer, contributing to various artists across different genres. Al's work in the music industry also expanded into composing for film and television, where his versatility allowed him to create scores that resonated with a wide audience. His legacy with Foreigner, combined with his later projects, has cemented his reputation as a pioneering figure in rock music, particularly in integrating synthesizers into the genre. Today he plays with the 'new' Foreigner with singer Kelly Hansen out front. He says they're an act to behold. Al also tells us that the biggest thrill of his life has been the original band's induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame very recently and although it's long overdue, he's incredibly proud to have finally been recognised for the contribution that Foreigner made to the rock sound of the '70s. I hope you'll enjoy my chat with Al as he unravels much abut one of our best loved band's history.
️ En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente reflexionamos sobre un clásico de la música y su relación con nuestras decisiones cotidianas: Should I Stay or Should I Go de The Clash. ¿Qué tienen que ver una banda punk, la física cuántica y vender el alma al diablo con nuestras decisiones diarias? ¡Más de lo que te imaginas! Acompáñanos a explorar esos momentos de indecisión y encrucijadas que todos hemos vivido. Ya sea una relación complicada, una decisión de carrera, o hasta elegir qué ver en Netflix ... todos conocemos el vértigo de tomar decisiones importantes y lo que significa soltar el pasado para abrazar el presente. Hablamos sobre Mick Jones, vocalista de The Clash, quien escribió esta canción en un momento difícil de su vida, y cómo esta letra resuena con las decisiones que enfrentamos diariamente. Nos adentramos en paradojas cuánticas como la del gato de Schrödinger, y en historias como la del legendario bluesman Robert Johnson, quien se dice vendió su alma en un cruce de caminos . Descubre cómo podemos aprender a tomar decisiones con menos miedo al "¿y si...?" y más atención al "aquí y ahora". También exploramos la perspectiva de Daniel Gilbert, quien propone que la verdadera felicidad está en aceptar y adaptarnos a nuestras elecciones, en vez de lamentar las opciones no tomadas. Este episodio te invita a reflexionar sobre cómo abrir tu caja personal, tomar una decisión y liberarte del peso de las opciones que dejas atrás. Porque la verdadera magia está en aprender a soltar y quedarte con lo que realmente importa. ️✨ Sugerencias de Títulos: The Clash y Las Decisiones de la Vida: ¿Me Quedo o Me Voy?

For this episode we're joined by the Brooklyn-based Andrew Smith, author of the bestselling Moondust, the "dotcom swindle" saga Totally Wired and the brand-new Devil in the Stack. We start by asking Andrew about the peripatetic childhood that took him from Greenwich Village to Hastings via San Francisco's summer of love. A riveting account of auditioning to replace Mick Jones in the Clash leads us to our guest's recollections of writing in the '80s and '90s for Melody Maker and The Face — and eventually becoming chief pop critic at London's Sunday Times. Jumping to Andrew's new book — with its subtitle A Coding Odyssey — we ask him about music's "digital revolution" in the mid-'80s, with particular attention to the ubiquity of Yamaha's DX7 keyboard. From there we revisit his 1995 interview with Björk – an artist who overtly embraced electronic sounds in that decade — and then listen to two audio clips from David Toop's absorbing encounter with the Icelandic maverick six years later. After a fascinating discussion about A.I. – its upsides and its threat not merely to musicians but to humanity at large — we return to the mid-'90s to celebrate the all-too-short life of the Notorious B.I.G., hip hop's "King of New York" in that all-too-violent decade. Mark provides quotes from recently-added library pieces about Captain Beefheart (1969), the Sex Pistols (1978) and oddly Francophobe goths Sisters of Mercy (1987), and Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about pop fanzines (2003) and writer, photographer and recent podcast guest Val Wilmer (2024). Many thanks to special guest Andrew Smith. Devil in the Stack: A Coding Odyssey is published by Grove Press and available now. Visit Andrew's website at andrewsmithauthor.com for more details.

Send us a Text Message.This is a flashback moment to our previous podcast, 1991: The Year AOR Ate Itself. For those of you who didn't hear that podcast series, you'll be interested to hear this episode, which aired July 5, 2021. In my memory (note: I'm making this up), we decided to celebrate Independence Day by talking about Foreigner's first album without Lou Gramm, Unusual Heat.Even though that's not true, we did have a lot of fun discussing Unusual Heat with our friend Ben Arthur, who brought a really interesting perspective as a fellow artist to this discussion. It was Jeff who had the idea overall for the AOR podcast and I'm really glad we did it. We had a lot of fun talking about some of our favorite albums from 1991 and who knows, maybe we'll visit another year from the '90s -- or even the '80s -- one of these days. In the meantime, there's 12 other episodes of this '91 'cast if you enjoy what you hear today. Dig in!We've both been tied up with life stuff, but will be back with a fresh episode this week -- and it's another one of our favorite albums (I don't think I'm wrong in saying that, but we'll find out, won't we?). In the meantime, enjoy this conversation regarding a Foreigner album you've probably never heard!P.S. Ben is back with a new season of his SongWriter podcast.

He talks about the crash which led to him joining Foreigner, the quick success and backlash they received, why he had to leave Foreigner and why he feels his solo career was tanked.

He also talks about his new album to be released later in 2024, why this year is his last year for touring and about the great work he's doing with the Lou Gramm Foundation!

Baxie talks to singer Pearl Harbour from Pearl Harbour & The Explosions! In 1979, Pearl and her band released their self-titled debut album which spawned the New Wave hit, "Drivin'". Unfortunately, due to musical difference, the band broke up before recording a follow up record. In 1980, Pearl released her first Rockabilly solo album, "Don't Follow Me. I'm Lost Too". The backup band on that record included Mick Jones, Topper Headon, and her future husband Paul Simonon of The Clash! The album, which is finally being reissued by Liberation Hall records is terrific. But the story behind that record is even more incredible! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee
