By 1980, Pete Townshend was 34 or 35, regarded as a true legend of rock music and a revered songwriter. He was one of the true pied pipers of rock n roll. The only problem was, there was no such thing as a middle-aged rock star. In 1978, the death of Keith Moon hit him hard and put in the question the future of The Who. Punk music was railing against old bands like The Who and while Pete was with them in spirit, he realized that they may have had a point. Meanwhile, Pete was battling alcohol and heroin addictions while his marriage to his first wife was on the rocks. He was looking for spiritual fulfillment and yearning for peace of mind. But out of all that came Empty Glass, a marvelous album with vivid melodies, personal lyrics and Pete Townshend's heart on his sleeve. He dedicated the album to his wife, Karen, and some of the songs could be in her voice. Pete takes on the personality of different people to get his points of view across with lyrics that can be ambiguous but deeply personal. The opening track Rough Boys is seen by some as a coming out for Townshend but it's a rockin' way to kick off a record. The alltime great Let My Love Open The Door is an instant pick me up that outsold the platinum (in the US) Empty Glass several times over and remains a favorite for movie soundtracks aimed at the children of the 1980s. But songs like I Am An Animal and I Moved showcase Pete's softer side before the ranting Jools and Jim aimed at authors who dismissed Keith Moon's death as inevitable and even warranted. Keep On Working shows Pete trying to channel The Kinks and A Little Is Enough may have been a minor hit but Townshend regards it as one of the best songs he's ever written. The title track is a man desperate for his soul to be saved, an empty vessel looking for someone to fulfill him. Would he ever find that peace? Would any of us? It's a strong record with incredible melodies with killer musicians like Simon Phillips, Tony Levin and Pete himself arranging the songs into beautiful classics. This was a fun one to do and if you don't know the album, we think you're gonna like it.

Episode #17 of the Motorcycle Knuckle Busters podcast. Enjoy our next guest, Billy Lyons. Billy "Spacey" Lyons is an Actor, Musician, Tattoo Artist and Motorcycle Enthusiast. You can check Billy out in the film John Nieto: An American Spirit Walk, he also has a part in the new release "Rough Boys". 

The Out of the Rough Boys are joined by Clint Gee and talk about the US Open at Torrey Pines coming up this week. As well as an in depth conversation about the PGL.

Today Ozzy Osbourne is a household name, and arguably this debut album is where it all started.  Before Blizzard of Ozz was released, Ozzy had been fired from his position as front man for the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, and he was certain that he would “go back to Birmingham and the Dole” after that.  However, Don Arden, Black Sabbath's manager, had hoped that Ozzy would return to the group, and signed him to Jet Records to record new material in Los Angeles.  He sent his daughter to look after Ozzy and "protect his investment."  That daughter was named Sharon Arden...and would soon be famous in her own right as Ozzy's wife and manager.This album was originally intended to be a super group called Blizzard of Ozz, with Ozzy (born John Michael Osbourne, but known as Ozzy since elementary school) on lead vocals, Don Airey (Rainbow) on keyboards, Bob Daisley (Rainbow) on bass, Lee Kerslake (Uriah Heap) on percussion, and virtuoso Randy Rhoads (Quiet Riot) on lead guitar.  The band was surprised and upset to find that they had been relegated to "Ozzy's band" when the group name became the title of this solo album.Blizzard of Ozz was released in the UK in September 1980, and in the US in March 1981.  It would go on to 4x platinum status, and would be Ozzy Osbourne's best selling solo album.  And now, for those of you who are ready to hear from The Prince of Darkness, the Godfather of Metal himself, in his prime - “ALL ABOARDDDDDDD!  heh-heh-heh-heh!” Crazy TrainWhile this song is a classic and staple of metal, it took some time for this first single to achieve that status.  It peaked at number 9 on the Billboard charts in July 1981.  It is about the cold war - "Hears of a cold war, that's what we've become.  Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb."Mr. CrowleyThe second single from the album was a lot less well known outside of rock radio at the time.  It is about Aleister Crowley, who was an English occultist and magician from the early 20th century.  Ozzy had read a book about Crowley and was inspired to write a song by that and a deck of tarot cards they found in the studio.  The guitar solo from this piece is a famous one by Rhoads, who would be killed in a plane crash in 1982.  Mr. Crowley and Crazy Train were the only singles released from the album.Goodbye to RomanceThis slower-paced song was the first track written for the album, and was Ozzy's way of saying goodbye to his former band.  Black Sabbath fired Osbourne in April 1979, claiming that he was "unreliable and had excessive substance abuse issues compared to the other members."  I Don't KnowThe opening track from the album was surprisingly not released as a single.  However, it did get considerable airplay on rock stations regardless.  Some suggest that this song was also about Osbourne's departure from Black Sabbath, but the lyrics sound more like a plea to not expect answers to serious questions from rock and roll singers. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the animated TV series “Thundarr the Barbarian”This staple of Saturday morning animated action shows made its debut in 1980, predicting cosmic destruction in 1994. STAFF PICKS:“Rough Boys” by Pete TownshendWayne brings us a side project from the Who's Pete Townshend.  "Rough Boys" is off his second solo album, but this one sounds just like the Who.  It is dedicated to the Sex Pistols, and Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described it as a "blistering punk love letter."“Another One Bites the Dust” by QueenRob's staff pick spent 15 weeks on the top 10, making it the longest running top-10 song of 1980.  This song has a number of sound effects, but there are no synthesizers used to make the song.  "Another One Bites the Dust" was considered for the Rocky III film, but ended up being "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor when things fell through on "Dust."  “Sometimes a Fantasy” by Billy JoelBrian features one of many hit singles off Joel's "Glass Houses."  The song is about erotic phone call lines - 900 numbers.  Joel was careful with the lyrics he chose to avoid issues with censors and moral advocacy groups.“Late in the Evening” by Paul SimonBruce's staff pick is the lead single off Simon's fifth studio album and semi-autobiographical movie "One Trick Pony."  Dummer Steve Gadd is playing with two pairs of drumsticks in each hand to give the percussion a fuller feeling.  According to Songfacts, the lyrics are based on a drwam that Simon had when he was a teenager of being a rock star. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:“Behind My Camel” by The PoliceThis instrumental track from the 1980 album release, Zenyatta Mondatta was written by Andy Summers, but hated by Sting and Stewart Copeland.  Summers plays both lead guitar and bass on this track, because Sting opted out.

Breakdown: This week the usual crew gets dropped off for a fun reunion of writing talents from IrrationalPassions.com. Jacob Bryant and Jarrett Green make a triumphant return while up-and-coming Logan Wilkinson sits down with Alex for an IP to remember. In games we have that long hard talk about final fantasy movies, most specifically Kingsglaive. It’s bad. But sooooo good. We also Deus Ex and go into ReCore with some PS2 flavor on top. Jarrett also touches in on Honor and indies. We break into some discussion topics: game delays, empathy, what we’re writing, and where we were three years ago. In the mailsack we play a game, take some tweets, and talk about writing challenges... and wrestling, I guess. That’s the show! Let’s take some bets.

Welcome to “Comrades,” a weekly podcast devoted to the FX series, The Americans. Each week, Scott Malchus and Jeff Marsick will break down and discuss the latest episode of The Americans, a cloak and dagger drama starring Keri Russell (Felicity) and Matthew Rhys (Brothers and Sisters) as KGB agents posing as an American suburban married couple. Of course, if you’re here you already know this, as the show is entering its 2nd season!   Our first episode takes a look back at The Americans first season (out on Blu-ray now), previews the upcoming season (which premieres on February 26th) and features the usual tangents that Scott goes off on, such as the great use of Pete Townshend’s “Rough Boys” and how editors accomplish the timing of image to music.     We also have a Facebook page where you can interact with Jeff and Scott.     Thanks for tuning in!
