Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Rafe's hometown of Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.Rafe talks about seeing the damage to a downtown that's already watched businesses disappear over the years, while Lern shares her own memories of growing up nearby and planning entire summers around the Du Quoin State Fair. Thankfully, the transcript reports no injuries or deaths, but the loss is still devastating for a town of roughly 6,000 people.So the crew sends some love south and encourages everybody heading to the fair to support Du Quoin however they can.Then, eventually, the daily comedy machine starts malfunctioning again.The conversation turns into a full Southern Illinois State Fair nostalgia session, complete with Wiz Khalifa, Russell Dickerson, demo derbies, Night Ranger and Rafe remembering the time he watched Joe Diffie put on what felt like a full stadium concert inside a tiny Budweiser beer tent. Rafe also officially declares the Du Quoin State Fair superior to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. Complaints may be directed to somebody who cares.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill.On Labor Day weekend.We don't make the rules, but we're pretty sure that's grounds for deportation from the Midwest.Luckily, Lern has an even worse idea.After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested.Nothing bad has ever happened after those three words.The crew also takes a trip through September 3rd history, covering everything from the beginning of World War II to Vince Lombardi, Iron Maiden's Powerslave, Prince's massive Warner Bros. deal, Charlie Sheen's 1995 marriage and the founding of eBay.Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death.There's Beck news for local record-store fans, TV talk involving Chad Powers and The Gentlemen, a rundown of the upcoming Dancing with the Stars cast, and news involving Wheel of Fortune. The show also discusses an upcoming documentary about The Office and remembers Gloria Steinem and her enormous influence on American journalism and the women's movement.Then we arrive at one of those debates designed specifically to waste productive adults' time: the greatest movie and television villains ever.Darth Vader? Obviously.Annie Wilkes? Terrifying.Voldemort? Sure.Hannibal Lecter? Yep.The Joker? Somehow they almost forgot him.The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument.Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act.Then it's birthday time, which means any remaining professionalism is escorted from the building.We've got Charlie Sheen, King Scott's twin Shaun White, Kaia Gerber, Todd Lewis, Steve Jones and more before Rafe handles the final birthday honors and everybody briefly convinces themselves that Amber Lynn is dead.She isn't.Great work, team.It's a show that starts with genuine concern for a Southern Illinois community, takes a detour through State Fair memories, somehow invents a trashy St. Louis dating show, argues about fictional villains and ends with an accidental celebrity death announcement.In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe's appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life's lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults.Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know.McDonald's fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy's Frosty, Taco Bell's spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion's Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally's fries, Del Taco, Freddy's and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again.Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them.The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis.And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Soctober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Soctober? Unfortunately, yes.Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit.

After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there.The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn't hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially.That sends the crew back to 1993's The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. This funny podcast briefly becomes a 1990s movie-and-music appreciation society nobody asked to join.Finally, a listener asks a dangerous question for people who have spent years working in radio: what song have you heard so many times that you never need to hear it again?In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Baristas Are Revealing The Coffee Orders They Associate With Super Specific StereotypesHigh school's entire football season canceled amid developing criminal investigationFire destroys three downtown Du Quoin businessesKirkwood City Council considers Walmart drone deliverySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rich and Jim sit down with Nashville drummer, producer, and drum tech Jeff Brown (Shrug Sound Studio) for a deep dive into a working musician's reality: from opening for Rush and Van Halen to teching the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, tuning for stadiums, building a home studio career, and navigating divorce, burnout, and late-bloomer success.Jeff shares stories from early days in Anaheim clubs, cruise ship gigs at 18, Nashville's legendary 12th & Porter era, and playing with artists like Phil Vassar, Thomas Rhett, Steel Magnolia, Tom Kiefer, and more. He also breaks down hybrid drumming on massive pop tours, practical tuning approaches, remote session workflows, and why drum techs are part mechanic, part therapist.Timed highlights:00:00 The porta-potty on stage, bar hangs, and touring creature comforts06:20 Foreigner at the Ryman: Kelly Hanson's retirement and Luis stepping up to sing14:30 Meeting Jeff Brown: Anaheim roots, moving to Nashville in '93, and the 12th & Porter scene21:40 Dreaming in English: publishing deals, opening for Rush, Weezer, and Van Halen30:10 Studio work and Shrug Sound Studio: home recording since 2010 and mic choices36:45 Simple drum recording setups and the Yamaha EAD10 for social content44:00 Cruise ship gigs at 18: long sets, bad charts, and learning to memorize51:30 From player to drum tech: Tom Kiefer, Kevin Murphy, and landing the Taylor Swift Eras Tour1:02:00 High-pressure teching: triggers, MainStage, redundancy, and that one snare mistake1:11:20 Tuning philosophy: coated vs clear heads, tom intervals, and consistency on tour1:19:00 Influences: Rush, Stewart Copeland, Herb Alexander, Jimmy Chamberlin1:27:10 Making people feel it: driving the band, backbeats, and keeping songs fresh1:36:30 Drum tech as psychologist: honest feedback, compliment sandwiches, and road life1:45:00 Managers, rates, and word-of-mouth: the business of remote sessions and mixing1:54:00 Mixing, producing, and Andrew Scheps: falling in love with the mix process2:01:30 AI, samples, and the future of music work2:08:00 Writing with his dad, getting humbled, and grieving the “band” dream2:15:30 Late bloomers, ergonomics, posture, and playing pain-free into your 50s2:23:00 Social media, tech tips, and why documenting the studio process matters2:30:00 New goals: sync music, instrumental releases, Shrug snare samples, and upcoming toursLinks:The Rich Redmond Show:www.therichredmondshow.transistor.fmPodcast Filmed and Produced by:https://itsyourshow.coRich's intensive:https://drumtensive.comJeff Brown – drums, studio, and merch:https://jeffbrowndrums.comShrug Sound Studiohttps://shrugsoundstudio.com

Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears has written one of the most unusual rock memoirs I've ever read, one built around his lifelong fascination with astrology. I dig into Welcome to Your Life and whether the book works even if astrology isn't your thing. Plus, a new Neil Peart documentary is coming featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith, Danny Carey and more paying tribute to the legendary Rush drummer.Support the showemail Big Rick at:info@rocktalkstudio.com

Nikki Sixx answered a fan asking why Mötley Crüe use backing tracks — and traced the whole practice back to Queen and "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1975. Scott Penfold breaks down the distinction everybody argues past: the difference between augmenting a live show and replacing one, and the one piece of evidence John 5 offered that actually holds up. Plus Anthrax release the video for "Everybody's Got A Plan," the third single from Cursum Perficio — their first album in ten years, out September 18, recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606. And the Latin title translates to something worth thinking about. And a new documentary, "Neil Peart: No One's Disciple," debuts on CBC September 23, featuring Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson performing Rush songs with Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland and Danny Carey filling Peart's seat.

For nearly four decades, DEARDARKHEAD have quietly built a reputation as one of New Jersey's most distinctive underground alternative rock bands. Now, after a 25-year gap between full-length albums, they're back with The Pendulum Swings – a record that proves creativity doesn't have an expiry date.On this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath sits down with drummer Robert Weiss to explore the band's remarkable journey from their beginnings in Atlantic City in 1988 to creating an album that blends shoegaze, post-punk, psychedelia and cinematic instrumental storytelling.The conversation goes far beyond the new record. Robert explains why the band embraced becoming an instrumental act, how they create songs without relying on lyrics, and why emotion has become the band's true lead vocalist. They discuss the challenges of making music over nearly four decades, the influence of producers Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey, experimenting with drum loops and unusual time signatures, and why The Pendulum Swings feels like the perfect statement of everything DEARDARKHEAD have experienced together.There's also a fascinating discussion about the lost art of listening to albums from start to finish, the changing music scene, working in record stores, favourite drummers, Stewart Copeland, shoegaze influences, and why sometimes the greatest success is simply making the next record.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about creativity, longevity and music made with purpose, this is an episode you'll want to spend time with.Listen to The Pendulum Swings and discover why critics are calling it a stunning return for one of New Jersey's most enduring underground bands.

Stewart Copeland, legendary drummer of The Police, joins for an in-depth conversation about the band's creative tensions and why they work better apart than together. He shares stories from his home studio (which he calls the Sacred Grove) where he's jammed with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins.

After that, Glen Matlock, original bassist and songwriter for the Sex Pistols, opens up about his new documentary 'I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol,' which chronicles both the band's revolutionary impact and his personal journey. He reveals surprising influences on punk rock, including The Faces, Small Faces, and even ABBA's role in creating 'Pretty Vacant.' To wrap it up, John Corabi stops by to discuss his new solo album 'New Day' and the incredible lineup he's assembled for touring. He opens up about the realities of being a rock vocalist in his 60s and how he's adapted his approach to performing classic material. Corabi shares insights about touring with Tom Keifer, praising his friend's remarkable vocal recovery and dedication.

On this episode of Johnny Beane TV, we're celebrating the anniversary of one of the most iconic albums of the 1980s—The Police's legendary final studio release, Synchronicity! Released on June 17, 1983, Synchronicity became the band's biggest-selling album and a defining moment in rock history. Featuring massive hits like "Every Breath You Take," "King of Pain," "Wrapped Around Your Finger," and "Synchronicity II," the album showcased the creative peak of Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland. More than four decades later, Synchronicity continues to captivate fans with its blend of rock, new wave, reggae influences, and thought-provoking songwriting. We'll take a look back at the music, the impact, the stories behind the songs, and why this groundbreaking album remains as powerful today as it was in 1983. What are your favorite tracks from Synchronicity? Let us know in the comments and join the conversation! #ThePolice #Synchronicity #Sting #ClassicRock

Stewart Copeland needs no introduction. But we'll do one just for funsies. He started playing the drums when he was 12 years old joined the band Curved air in 1974 then started the band the Police in 1977 which went on to sell over 75 million albums, win 6 grammy awards be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame and be one of the biggest bands in the world. After the Police he started work as a composer creating film scores for Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone. Then he started scoring video games like Spyro. Over the last two years he's been traveling the world telling stories on a spoken word tour called "Have I said Too Much." We condensed about 50 years of absolutely legendary work into three sentences. There are about 5 million other things that could be listed. But Stewart is coming to Florida and before he does he was nice enough to stop by the show! Doc and Stew talk about how the tour compares to his biography, how he structures his show, what kinds of questions the audience asks, recording synchronicity, Sting's musical ability, working with Francis Ford Coppola, stealing a joint from Paul McCartney, creating Oysterhead with Les Claypool and so much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc draws a deep line in the sand. If you have more than 2 syllables in your name and refuse to be called a nickname...you. are. wrong. Make sure to listen!

Stewart Copeland, drummer/composer/host extraordinaire and one time member of The Police, spoke with us on Ep 275 about his love for working with orchestras. And he praised the city of Louisville (where The Wolf finds himself after a 4 year European tour) for the quality of the city's orchestra. Because though his days in The Police may be over, his love for the music and performing has not waned. So when he told us he'd be bringing his Police - Deranged for Orchestra performance to The Ville, we knew we had to check it out and tell you what we thought. Asside from the more than 50 members of the Louisville Orchestra and longtime conductor Bob Bernhardt, Copeland brought along singers Amy Keys, Carmel Helene and Ashley Tamar, guitarist Rusty Anderson and bassist Armand Sabal-Lecco (with Stewart on the drums most of the time). While they played the big hits like Roxanne, Every Breath You Take and Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, they also dive deeper in the catalog with tracks like The Bed's Too Big Without You and Murder By Numbers. Some of the songs he stays true to the original song but some are so "deranged" that even the biggest fans can't identify the songs until the vocals begin. It's amazing that he doesn't meet the orchestra until the day of the show and then after 2.5 hours of rehearsal, they put on a killer show. I would also call this a family friendly show so if your town has an orchestra and can host Copeland and his derangements we highly suggest not only seeing the show but bringing the whole family.

Stewart Copeland is so much more than the drummer from The Police. Over the decades he's been in numerous bands, scored films and tv series, written operas, performed with orchestras and engaged folks on his speaking tours. He's lived around the world and toured it as well, while being part of some of the most memorable songs and videos in the early MTV era. As The Wolf and Action Jackson are (grown?) children of the MTV generation, we fulfilled our lifelong dream of speaking with the gregarious American member of our first favorite rock band. Stewart's articulate and energetic personality shines as he talks about his opportunity to play the opening ceremonies of the Paralympic Games in Italy. He regales with stories of when Andy entered the picture and made his life easier while Summers presence meant Sting finally had someone to give his songs the proper harmonies he'd been looking for. Though we loved those Godley & Creme videos from Synchronicity, he said all three of them were completely miserable during the whole experience. But he also talks about finding his love for making music again by working with Francis Ford Coppola while creating movie scores. The long prep with orchestras to perform Police - Deranged for Orchestra shows that he still has a great work ethic (and we look forward to reviewing that performance soon) and he loves the laughs he gets from his Have I Said Too Much speaking tours. His unbridled passion and enthusiasm are evident throughout the interview which two lifelong fans hope you enjoy as much as we did.

This week the boys sit down with Steve from Down West and discuss Black Sabbath, the Beatles, Stewart Copeland, Mitch Mitchell, power trios, Superchunk, and much much more!

Theater director, playwright, and multimedia artist Jared Mezzocchi joins Rhett for a conversation about what it means to make ambitious, technology-forward work without losing the human heart of the story. Mezzocchi shares how he's drawn to projects that seem “impossible” on paper—from a pandemic-era play about content moderation, to a site-specific production about the 1944 Hartford circus fire. He explains why impossibility isn't a deterrent, but an opportunity for experimentation. The conversation moves into the emotional reality of creative life: the grief of letting go after opening night, the dangerous pull of people-pleasing, and the long work of strengthening what Mezzocchi calls a “sense of self.” He reflects on losing his father at 19, how that shaped his relationship to theater and film, and why mortality, impermanence, and presence sit at the center of his work. Rhett and Jared also talk about AI, technology anxiety, and why friction between machines and humanity may actually clarify what makes art—and people—matter.  Follow Jared @jaredmezzocchi Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Rodney Crowell, often called a “songwriter's songwriter” and a foundational voice in Americana, joins Rhett for a conversation about intention, craft, and the long game of staying creatively alive. Crowell shares hard-won lessons about process: how spending time on memoir pages puts him in a “workshop of words,” so that when he turns back to the guitar he's already thinking in language. He talks about patience as the difference between forcing a song and letting it reveal itself, his approach to collaboration, the discipline of revision, and how creative confidence is built the unglamorous way: by showing up for the work, again and again. His new album “Airline Highway” is available now. Follow Rodney @rodneyjcrowell Follow Rhett @rhettmiller Wheels Off is hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

Musical Journey Through the Final Week of December: This Week in Music History As the calendar year draws to a close, the week of December 22nd through December 28th stands as a powerful reminder that music history never sleeps—not even during the holidays. In this captivating episode of “This Week in Music History,” hosts Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs take listeners on an extraordinary journey through decades of musical milestones, tragic losses, and triumphant achievements that have shaped the soundtrack of our lives. The conversation opens with a poignant reflection on the end of another year of exploring music’s rich tapestry. Buzz muses on how, despite covering similar calendar dates year after year, they continue to uncover new stories and perspectives. “When you think about it, you would think, well, if you do it year after year, you’re going to be talking about the same things,” Buzz observes. “And the truth is, we continue to uncover new and different things.” This sentiment perfectly captures the infinite depth of music history and the endless stories waiting to be told. The Clash’s Revolutionary Voice Falls Silent December 22nd marks the anniversary of one of punk rock’s most devastating losses—the death of Joe Strummer in 2002. Born John Meller, the Clash frontman passed away from pneumonia at a time when his influence on music and culture was still reverberating through generations of artists. The Clash represented more than just a band; they were a political and social force that challenged conventions and inspired countless musicians to use their platform for more than entertainment. Strummer’s legacy as a voice for the disenfranchised and his commitment to authentic, passionate rock and roll continues to inspire artists today. A Candle in the Wind That Lost Its Luster The hosts touch on Elton John’s iconic “Candle in the Wind,” originally written about Marilyn Monroe in 1967. While the song initially resonated as a beautiful tribute, its later reworking for Princess Diana’s funeral created what Buzz describes as “overkill.” The constant repetition following Diana’s tragic death in 1997 caused the song to lose some of its original emotional impact for many listeners. This phenomenon speaks to how even the most beautiful pieces of music can become dulled through overexposure, demonstrating the delicate balance between honoring memory and respecting the power of restraint. Cheap Trick’s Complex Family Dynamics A fascinating deep dive into the internal dynamics of Cheap Trick reveals the complicated nature of band relationships and business structures. Rick Nielsen, the legendary guitar player known for his collection of hundreds of guitars—including his famous five-neck Hamer guitar—represents the performative and creative heart of Cheap Trick. The band’s 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction marked a peak moment, but beneath the surface lay complex tensions. The departure of bassist Bunny Carlos and the subsequent addition of Rick Nielsen’s son, Dax, initially appeared to follow the pattern of other famous rock family transitions, like Michael Anthony’s replacement by Wolfgang Van Halen in Van Halen. However, the reality proved far more nuanced. Buzz’s research uncovered ongoing strife within the band, though Carlos remains part of the Cheap Trick corporation—a business structure similar to Journey’s arrangement with Steve Perry. This setup ensures that founding members maintain ownership stakes even when they’re no longer actively touring, though it can also create lasting tension and legal complications. The hosts explore the darker side of band politics, touching on stories of sabotage and ego clashes. There are tales of Journey band members allegedly pulling on Steve Perry’s microphone cord during performances to make him trip—petty acts of revenge that reveal the intense pressures and personalities at play in successful rock bands. Yet they also note that time can heal wounds, pointing to Perry and Neal Schon’s apparently warm relationship at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, despite whatever conflicts may have existed in their past. The Therapeutic Approach: A New Model for Band Longevity In a refreshing counterpoint to tales of band dysfunction, Buzz shares insights from his conversation with The Head and the Heart on his “Music Saved Me” podcast. This indie pop alternative band has taken an innovative approach to managing interpersonal relationships: group therapy. Band members openly discuss how they’ve used professional counseling to navigate the challenges of creative collaboration, life on the road, and the inevitable conflicts that arise when passionate artists work together for years. This revelation prompts fascinating speculation about how many legendary bands might have avoided breakups, lawsuits, and lasting bitterness if they’d embraced therapy earlier. The deeply personal nature of musical creation—leaving your heart exposed in every performance, every recording—makes these relationships particularly vulnerable to conflict. As Harry notes, “even if it’s a drummer or a bass player, it’s still your piece of that performance of that song you left your heart out there.” The music exists forever as a testament to that vulnerability, creating permanent emotional stakes that can intensify disagreements and hurt feelings. Joe Cocker: A Voice That Couldn’t Be Contained The passing of Joe Cocker at age 70 in 2014 brings reflection on an artist whose expressive, explosive performances made him unforgettable. While 70 might not seem particularly old from our current vantage point—as Buzz and Harry, approaching 60 and 70 respectively, can attest—Cocker’s hard-living lifestyle took its toll. His performances were legendary, inspiring John Belushi’s spot-on “Saturday Night Live” impersonation that Cocker himself found hilarious. Cocker’s career highlights include his cover of The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” which became the theme for the television series “The Wonder Years,” and “Up Where We Belong,” his duet with Jennifer Warnes from the film “An Officer and a Gentleman.” The latter song became inextricably linked with that powerful film starring Richard Gere and Lou Gossett Jr., whose portrayal of a drill instructor was genuinely frightening and contributed to one of cinema’s most memorable moments—Gere’s character’s desperate declaration: “I got nowhere else to go.” Eddie Vedder: The Humble Superstar December 23rd celebrates the birthday of Eddie Vedder, born in 1964, whose appreciation for musical history and those who came before him sets him apart in an industry often dominated by ego. The hosts draw parallels to Dave Grohl, noting how both artists exhibit genuine humility and respect for their influences. Vedder’s collaborations with Neil Young, particularly their version of “Rockin’ in the Free World,” helped establish his credibility beyond Pearl Jam circles, while his passionate renditions of The Who’s classics—especially “Love, Reign o’er Me”—have become legendary in their own right. Vedder’s versatility shines through in his cover work, from The Waiting by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to The English Beat’s “Save It for Later,” featured in the television series “The Bear.” His interpretation of Tom Petty’s “Room at the Top” particularly resonates, described as “so beautiful” in its delicate handling of Petty’s original composition. The discussion of “The Bear” opens a tangent about the show’s exceptional soundtrack curation, featuring all Tom Petty covers including a barn-burning version of “Runnin’ Down the Dream” by Larkin Poe. Despite Pearl Jam’s reputation for deep cuts and extensive catalogs—which might intimidate casual fans—the hosts acknowledge being captivated whenever they hear Vedder sing anything. His voice and interpretive skills transcend the barrier of familiarity, making even unknown material compelling. The Unsung Guitar Legends of Country Music The conversation shifts to Glen Campbell, whose passing on December 24th prompts reflection on his extraordinary but often underappreciated guitar skills. Campbell represents a generation of country musicians whose technical prowess gets overshadowed by genre stereotypes. Like Roy Clark, Campbell could do virtually anything on guitar, yet many people don’t associate country music with virtuoso instrumentalists. Campbell’s session work tells the story of his versatility—he played on albums by The Monkees, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, and soundtracks for Elvis films and Phil Spector productions. This breadth demonstrates how the Nashville studio system produced some of the most skilled musicians in any genre, even if they didn’t always receive recognition outside country music circles. The discussion of Campbell also touches on Brian Wilson’s 1964 breakdown, a tragic moment that had long-lasting consequences for the Beach Boys and Wilson himself. The psychological damage inflicted by Wilson’s abusive father Murry Wilson—compared to Joe Jackson’s treatment of his children—demonstrates how family trauma can derail even the most talented artists. Brian’s struggles with touring and performing were just the beginning of severe mental health challenges that would plague him throughout his career. The Police: Reunion Done Right In 2007, The Police earned recognition as the year’s highest-grossing tour, thirty years after the band’s inception and 24-25 years after their previous collaboration. The reunion tour, which Buzz witnessed in Las Vegas, comprised over 150 shows worldwide and generated nearly $400 million—not a bad payday for a comeback. This success demonstrated the enduring appeal of Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland’s unique blend of rock, reggae, and new wave, proving that some artistic chemistry remains potent even after decades apart.Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
