Dan Navarro on Saying Yes: Writing Pat Benatar's “We Belong,” Voiceover Breakthroughs & Staying Curious at 72Songwriter and voice actor Dan Navarro joins host Jason English at the 30A Songwriters Festival to discuss his “say yes” philosophy and how it shaped his 40+ year career. Navarro recounts nearly refusing to write “We Belong” during a feud with Eric Lowen, then co-writing it in 90 minutes before it became a long-running Pat Benatar hit that now drives most of his catalog income. He explains how saying yes to a small jingle session launched decades of union voice and singing work, including Family Guy and films like Coco, Encanto, and Puss 'n Boots, and why touring remains the income he can control. Navarro reflects on positivity, relationships behind songs on Horizon Line, plans for a Spanish-language album, concerns about streaming economics, and his curiosity about what's next.00:00 Say Yes Turning Point00:48 Podcast Intro Dan Navarro02:34 30A Festival Vibes03:39 Touring Life After COVID04:28 Friends In The Round05:52 We Belong Bar Story06:57 Feud To Hit Song10:24 Royalties Mailbox Money12:40 Touring As Control13:37 Worst Career Decisions14:34 Advice Just Say Yes15:05 Voiceover Breakthrough16:13 Say Yes Voiceover Hustle16:40 Anonymity Versus Fame17:35 Soundalikes And Movie Rooms18:18 Staying Positive In Your 70s20:11 Horizon Line Breakup Songs22:20 She Dreams In Music CoWrite23:42 Spanish Album Next24:40 50 Years In The Game25:51 Streaming Royalties Reality27:44 Curiosity About Whats Next30:25 Live Performance Ordinary Days

A new book, Raised on Radio, looks at a controversial time in rock: 1976–1986, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Def Leppard, Heart, and Toto ruled the airwaves. Many of the artists contribute to this oral history, and this episode looks not only at why the book is worth your time and money, but also asks: If critics pretty much dismissed most of these bands, why has their music prevailed?Support the showemail Big Rick at:info@rocktalkstudio.com

This episode we look at the phenomena of hugely successful artists refusing to play the songs that made them!  First among these is Radiohead, whose “Creep” launched them onto the world stage.  Others include The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Madonna.   Our Album You Must Hear Before You Die is The Stranglers' 1977 debut, the excellent “Rattus Norvegicus”, yet another punk record from the mid-70s. Mick loves this album for its energy and refusal to bow down to supposed “punk” rules.  We also look at some of the highlights of The Stranglers' outrageous career to this day.  In Rock News, Jeff examines the success (or otherwise) of a Quebec band called Angine de Poitrine, known for their complex, “microtonal” compositions and absurdist public image, featuring oversized papier-mâché masks and black-and-white polka-dotted costumes. Imagine! Jeff also has a look at this year's inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, including Iron Maiden, Phil Collins, and Joy Division, and our Rod Stewart moment looks at his relaxed attitude towards death.  Plenty there for everyone!  References:  1001 Albums You Must Hear before You Die, Robert Dimery, The Stranglers, Rattus Norvegicus, Hugh Cornwell, JJ Burnel, sexism & misogyny, “(Get a) Grip (on yourself)”, “Peaches”, “Down in the Sewer”, Deep Purple, “Strange Kind of Woman”, ice cream van, "Golden Brown", harpsichord, Battersea Park Big Top Festival strippers, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Philip Selway, Pablo Honey, Electioneering, Just, “Rolling Stone's 250 Greatest Guitarists of all Time”, “OK Computer”, Nick Cave, “Creep”, “Pavlov's Dog”, “Julia”, AC/DC, “It's a Long Way to the Top”, Bon Scott, Pat Benatar, “Hit me with your Best Shot”, Beastie Boys, “Fight for Your Right (to Party)”, Billy Joel , “Tell Her About It”, Weird Al Jankovic, “Eat It”, Rolling Stones, “Brown Sugar”, Madonna, Dylan, “Hurricane”, Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin, "Stairway to Heaven", Eric Clapton, "Tears in Heaven”, George Harrison, "My Sweet Lord", "He's So Fine"  Playlist (all the music & artists we referred to in this episode) Angine de Potrine Hugh Cornwell Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!

Thirty years with the same man. Kids. A suburban life. A career built on celebrating the best in people. And a question that never fully goes away: am I gay enough? Randy Jones, speaker, author, podcaster, and self-described professional storyteller, has spent decades navigating the space between gay communities that questioned his credentials and straight communities that accepted him without conditions. He and Rick get honest about what it costs to feel like you never fully belong anywhere, why gay culture built its own velvet rope, and what it actually means to own your gay identity when it does not look like what anyone expected. Key Takeaways: Why gay men judge each other's gayness and what that says about the community we builtHow living a suburban family life as a gay man creates a specific kind of identity confusionWhat it means to be more accepted in straight spaces than gay ones and why that stingsWhy the question am I gay enough never fully goes away even after decades of being outHow aging in the LGBTQ+ community forces a reckoning with who you actually are versus who the community wants you to be About Randall Randall Kenneth Jones is a high-energy speaker, author, and podcaster, known for emphasizing the best in people.

After trio took hiatus, MacAllister went solo Folk singer Laurie MacAllister's name is a letter off from that of a bass player for The Runaways, which oozed attitude in the 1970s and might have been a footnote in rock history but for founding member Joan Jett's hits in the 1980s. "A lot of women musicians, myself included, worship the ground she walks on," says MacAllister of Jett. "I first heard 'I Love Rock and Roll' at age 10. I remember exactly where I was and just lost it — but let's not forget Pat Benatar and Chrissie Hynde." Even though the styles differ, all these women produce music with moxie. Playing guitar, singing and stirring emotion, MacAllister will bring her songs to the Howland Cultural Center on Saturday (May 2). As with fictional settings, her songs make something out of nothing, like that moment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when it's cold and wet and then the vignette turns into a break-up ode that crystallizes a fragment of the human experience ("Out of the Darkness"). To be a team player and round out the sound, she put down the guitar and picked up a bass for Red Molly, the folk trio with Hudson Valley roots. The band — MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Molly Venter — shook up the folk scene with its polished look, sound and presentation. "When we played places that served alcohol, they improvised many drinks that have only one common characteristic: the color," MacAllister says, but when the pandemic hit, along with parenthood for one member, the trio split for now. MacAllister still seeks to subvert conventions. "I want to get away from the setup where the opener plays for 25 minutes, and then I come on for my slot," she says. "I have three male collaborators whom I work with, but I open each set and bring them in and out of the show." Joining her in Beacon will be Fred Gillen Jr., a longtime local folk performer who lived in Westchester County before moving upstate. This is her last live slot for a while. MacAllister, now based in Virginia, is taking a break to record an album before a fall tour. The woman has paid her dues: "I'm 56, so I can decide what to do," she says. With all the wordsmithing, chord changes and full-throttle vocals, it's easy to overlook her nimble guitar playing, which emits a big sound. She's also able to sing while fingerpicking — plucking out more intricate patterns with at least three digits — which is no mean feat. The test of talent is to execute something difficult while making it look easy. "At first, I figured it would be impossible, but I put in a lot of practice and, somehow, it happened," MacAllister says. While onstage, she seems to be on the verge of killing herself softly with her own songs. "I bring it to 95 percent, then I have to dial it back," she says. "If it makes people cry, that's a litmus test — like, if it gives me goosebumps — but it can only hit to a certain degree. We're poking at feelings, so even if I get physical reactions, I've got to be professional and gathered onstage." The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets for the concert, which begins at 8 p.m., are $25 at dub.sh/macallister-hcc, or $30 at the door. To download music, see lauriemacallister.net.

We also talk about the songwriting career he's built in Nashville, the amazing story of his hit song, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” that was made famous by Pat Benatar, his role as president of the International Council of Music Creators, and being appointed a member of the Order of Canada, one of the highest honours in the country.

¿Cuando el futuro lleva siéndolo tres décadas es futuro o es pasado? Este programa también podría titularse Días del futuro pasado o del pasado futuro o qué sé yo. La cosa es que desde hace 30 años se promete que el cómic digital va a ser el siguiente paso por llegar, el futuro. Y no podemos decir que se equivoquen porque todavía esos tiempos están por venir y así parece que se van a quedar a saber cuánto tiempo, en el futuro. El cómic digital que venía a ser el relevo no termina de estandarizarse, pero a que la tecnología y la infraestructura para hacerlos existe desde hace décadas. Para divagar sobre los motivos, los cómos, los cuándos y los a saber qué dedicamos este programa en el que además nos guardamos un hueco para recomendar tebeos. La noche es caliente como el infierno.

Jason Chapin is the son of Harry Chapin, one of the greatest recording artists of the 1970's with two of the biggest and most memorable hits of all time: Taxi and 1974's monumental hit Cat's in the Cradle.  Harry Chapin tragically died in 1981 in an auto accident in Long Island, NY. On the 50th anniversary of Cat's in the Cradle's hitting the charts as #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 21, 1974, Jason co-produced an award-winning documentary, Harry Chapin - Cat's In the Cradle: The Song that Changed Our Lives.  Included in the film are musical giants like Billy Joel, Judy Collins, Pat Benatar, Dee Snider, Mandy Patinkin & others who weigh in on Harry's legacy. These iconic lyrics from the chorus are among the most famous from any song in history: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little Boy Blue and the man in the moon "When you comin' home, dad?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then." We discuss: -Why now with a documentary in the 50th anniversary of the song. -Who was the child that arrived? -How did Harry steal the song from his wife? -What do you suppose your mom Sandy Chapin meant by “We don't know life's lessons until too late?” - Which part of the 60% in Taxi that is true is actually true? -Judy Colins - "Harry had lyrically the human touch. Genius of putting scenes together that happened in real life." -Billy Joel - "It was all about humanity.  Not politics, but what it's like to be a human & the foibles & failure & struggles."    

Eddie Schwartz is the definition of a "songwriter's songwriter." While you might not recognize his face in a crowd, you have definitely screamed his lyrics at a karaoke bar, in your car, or at a stadium. As the man behind Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," he didn't just write a song; he wrote an anthem for an entire generation.  We chat with Eddie about all things music and here some amazing stories from over 40 years in the music industry.  A great listen.   We also completely go off the rails as usual as Mike feuds with Sydney Sweeney and defends Kanye, Scott must play a game called MLK Timecop, and Mike fails to let to let the audience know what he was doing for an entire episode.  Have a listen!

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Paul Litteral, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Paul Litteral trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/paul-litteral-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-147   About Paul Litteral: Hollywood Paul Litteral began to build his career playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess. In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine   Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance)   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

Episode 197: In Conversation with Chris Trapper Brian and Sarah were thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Chris Trapper, a singer-songwriter whose musical livelihood began in the 1990s. In addition to writing, recording, and performing as lead singer and guitarist in the band The Push Stars, Chris also has a prolific solo career, releasing more than a dozen albums and EPs, touring the country extensively on his own, and opening for artists such as Pat Benatar and Colin Hay.  Additionally, Chris's songs have been featured in numerous television shows and films over the years. Chris Trapper's latest album, Watching Sparks Fly By, was released earlier in 2025, and Brian and Sarah learn from Chris about the making of the album as well as stories behind some of the songs. They also find out more about his songwriting and creative process in general, and how he feels about writing and recording music compared to performing in front of a live audience.   Since Brian and Sarah are big fans of Colin Hay—they were first introduced to Chris's music in 2012 when he opened for Colin Hay—they can't help but ask Chris a few questions about Colin, and they talk about the fact that Colin covered one of Chris's songs on Colin's 2022 album Now and the Evermore. Being fans of Pat Benatar as well, they also ask Chris about touring with Pat and her husband Neil Gerardo, and Chris reveals some impressive comments he received from both of them. Chris turns the tables at the end of the interview and asks a few questions of Brian and Sarah, which leads to an exclusive moment you won't find anywhere else—Chris Trapper singing Depeche Mode! It's a warm, engaging conversation with a lot of laughs interspersed between great stories, so you won't want to miss this one!

“I don't think I'm smart enough to listen to this…”   As with the many legendary concept albums that have come before, masterpieces such as King Diamond's Abigail, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, and Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, the latest offering from OPETH, is one of the finest examples of storytelling ever captured in audio form and is their first proper “concept album” to date.    “They cram so much into such a small space…”   Chronicling the reading of the will of a wealthy patriarch (and featuring Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull as the patriarch in question), THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT perfectly represents the culmination of the various components that have established OPETH as a progressive metal force to be reckoned with for more than 30 years.    “I realize this is not y'all's favorite flavor of the month…”   With a seamless blending of their early progressive and melodic death metal period through their more eclectic, 70's prog rock infused progressive metal period of the 2010's, OPETH is akin to a “haunted house version of Dream Theater”, loaded with a wide  variety of sonic textures, top tier instrumental prowess, and vivid lyrical imagery, all of which are covered in a thin drapery of darkness.    “Have they ever done anything ‘hooky'?”   JOIN US as we take on what is arguably one of the finest progressive metal concept albums in existence (and most certainly a top contender for “Album Of The Year”) and quite possibly the greatest OPETH album of all time, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “I would like to take this moment to say…AND…” / #GeorgiaBulldogs / “Dangole sports ball dawgs…” / #Natty / “Speaking of Athens…my only thought was…R.E.M. must have written this song…”/ #WeBuiltThisCityASMR / “That's when they dropped the Jefferson…”/ “As long as there's a bend in the wrist, you're fine…”/ #markthetime / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #waitforit #markthetime / “And I screamed like a little girl…not one footstep did I hear…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #strangerinthetub #jackoffhand / “Like a chimpanzee?”    (06:06): PATREON US at www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast  / “Who knows?

Jase and Al open the episode with a sheepish “my bad” after a producer fact-checks one of their rock-'n'-roll memories. What started as an innocent mix-up turns into a full-blown investigation involving parade floats, PETA, and a certain ‘80s icon who wasn't who they thought she was. The guys marvel at how a simple slip becomes “fake news.” The guys connect the crown on Jesus' brow back to Adam's curse, and examine how unbridled idolatry leads to the ruination of generations of lives.  In this episode: John 19, verse 5; Genesis 3, verses 17–18; 1 Corinthians 15, verses 42–57; Hosea 13, verse 14; 1 Peter 2, verses 13–25 “Unashamed” Episode 1207 is sponsored by: http://frontline21.com — Embrace biblical masculinity.

Al kicks things off with a rock-and-roll mystery—was it Pat Benatar or Joan Jett who once snubbed the Robertsons on their tour bus? Jase follows it up with a story of how one bold comment may have permanently ended his shot at golfing with Masters champion Bubba Watson. Zach shares a sweet family milestone that has everyone feeling sentimental and grateful.

Send us a textEddie stops by the show to discuss the hit song he wrote, 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot', his last CD, 'Film School', and so much more. ******The first time I heard Pat Benatar's version of ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot,' I was almost arrested for loitering,” laughs internationally lauded Canadian songwriter, producer, performer, and rights advocate Eddie Schwartz about the song he penned that became Benatar's first Top Ten single in 1980. “I was walking down Yonge Street in Toronto when I heard it blasting out of a renowned hair salon and stopped dead in my tracks. I even think I started to drool [laughs]. As I stood there in a state of shock, a salon stylist called the police because of my strange behavior. When they arrived, they ordered me to move or face arrest. When I tried to explain to them that I just heard my song on the radio for the first time, they said, 'Sure, buddy. Move along." Stepping out from behind the curtain and into the spotlight, Schwartz will be physically releasing his full-length studio release on CD, FILM SCHOOL, on November 12, 2025. His songs have been recorded by an astonishing roster: Carly Simon, Joe Cocker, America, Donna Summer, Rita Coolidge, Rascal Flatts, and Mountain, among many others. As a producer, his credits include the Doobie Brothers' Cycles, Carrack's Groove Approved, and his own albums, all resonating with an unmistakable blend of craftsmanship and soul. This six-song EP finds the storied songwriter who authored such classics as Paul Carrack's "Don't Shed a Tear" (1987), The Doobie Brothers' "The Doctor" (1989), the aforementioned “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” (among hundreds of others) on the other side of the studio glass.“It's a difficult time right now and I freely admit to struggling with how to cope with the daily insanity,” says Eddie about the current political and socio-economic climate. Instead of subjecting himself to the barrage of news, he opted instead to return to the studio and write songs. “The moment of writing ‘We Win' was profound for me because I found a way to a more hopeful place that helped with anger, sadness and bewilderment at how we got here,” he explains. “I felt the message of ‘We Win' offered some sanity that I needed to cling to, that I needed to find for myself. And I wanted to share it in the hope it might work for others as well.”  After an extended creative drought that plagued him for years, writing the single and subsequent songs on Film School was a turning point for him. “After a number of years doing the Nashville-style co-writing every day—two songs a day, five days a week— I burned out,” Eddie reflects. “The blank page stayed blank for a long time,” he explains of the rigorous demands of being a songwriter in today's music business. The catalyst to cure his writer's block was his frustration with current events. “My struggle to process the world at this moment in time and muster some resolve was what propelled me back in the writing mindset. ‘We Win' acknowledges the pain and the struggle, but professes love means you don't have to succumb to it.”*********If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.
