Det här är berättelsen om smörsångarsonen som genom åren gjort allt för att ta sig ur sin fars skugga. Frågan är om han lyckats? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Artisteliten är uppklädd till tänderna och stämningen inne i The Shrine Auditorium i Los Angeles går att ta på. Det är januari 1998 och just i år är intresset för den annars lite sömniga kategorin årets latin extra stort.– Now you think after 25 years, the American Music Awards would have seen it all. But something really unusual happened in this category.– For the first time ever a father and son, Julio and Enrique, are competing for the same award.22-åriga Enrique är märkbart nervös, där han sitter och svettas bredvid sin mamma i en av de röda bänkraderna. – It's really a tight race. So let's take a look at the three favorite artist for latin artist.Huruvida pappa Julio, vars smokingklädda ryggtavla tornar upp sig några rader längre fram, är lika nervös är svårt att avgöra. Men faktum är att far och son inte pratat med varandra på över ett år.– And the winner is Julio Iglesias!Med ett vant leende kliver den legendariske smörsångaren fram till mikrofonen.– Well, this is funny because, you know when they tell you that your son is against you in competition, you feel a little like, eh, your brain is in another place, because I adore my kids. Kamerateamet missar inte chansen att zooma in på Enrique som sitter och gapar i sin stol. Avgudad är det sista han känt sig av sin framgångsrike far. – And more than anything, to tell my son, and my new sons, that as much I will be on a stage, as much I will compete with them. Thank you so much.Medverkande: Anders Bagge och Margret AtladottirProgrammet är gjort av Joanna Korbutiak i december 2024Producent Robin JonssonExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonProgramledare Siri HillP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från VH1 Behind the Music (VH1, 2011), Sábado Gigante (Televisa Univision, 1995), American Music Awards (1998), Eurovision Song Contest (1970), RTVE (1982), La movida del verano (Telefe, 1996), ZTV (1999), The Howard Stern Show (WRX, 2000), CNN (2001), Making The Video (MTV, 2001), Al Rojo Vivo (Telemundo, 2014) och youtubekontot Nathan Fernandez.

Before they were flattened into part of the public's collective generic memory of the 1960s, and before an astonishing level of in-fighting and tragedy turned the group's story into one of the best VH1: Behind the Music episodes, The Mamas and the Papas released one of the best debut albums of the 1960s. It produced three massive hits you've heard hundreds of times apiece if you listen to oldies radio, but it also produced a handful of worthwhile deeper cuts, with interesting songwriting (most of the time) and top-notch singing throughout. John leads a discussion with Amanda, Phil, and Ben about the collection of musicians who created one of his favorite 1960s albums and one of the most jaw-dropping soap-operas of the decade.Cohosts: John McFerrin, Ben Marlin, Phil Maddox, Amanda RodgersComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/147-the-mamas-and-the-papas-if-you-can-believe-your-eyes-and-ears-1966Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod

Serial entrepreneur with bad back slows it down Stepping into RowSeeLee teahouse at 81 Main St. in Cold Spring is like entering a portal to another dimension. On one hand, the juxtaposed interior is sleek, modern and bright, with shiny white-and-black tile floors that resemble marble. Futuristic French jazz bounces off the brick walls and a mesmerizing digital fireplace stretches half the length of the storefront. Yet the flowing water, petrified birch trees, wooden tables and live terrarium with bright green moss lining the floor and a trough behind the wood-slatted booths smooth the harder edges. For years, Jon Koon, 41, has shaped his high-end and conceptual retail outlets to draw on all five senses. (For a quick summary, see his Wikipedia entry.) Lately, he's slowed down. Instead of jetting all over the world to make the scene at fine art and designer fashion events with bold-name celebrities, he shuttles from Cold Spring to his other tea parlor in Mahopac, which opened last year. RowSeeLee is a phonetic representation of the name Rosie Lee, a term in Cockney English rhyming slang that refers to a cup of tea. Conversing with Koon can be like pulling the rip cord on an outboard motor. In his telling, life unfolded like an action movie: He says that Hollywood exaggerated his lifestyle to create the Fast and Furious franchise after he became a millionaire at age 16 by modding four-cylinder Japanese cars and racing them on the mean streets of Queens. With the right gear, "I can beat a Porsche," says Koon, whose career also mirrors a VH1 Behind the Music episode about rise, fall and resurrection. This one stars the only child of hardworking immigrants from Hong Kong who urged him to be a doctor or lawyer but who instead became an artist helming international brands and opening buzzy retail outlets with the rich and famous. Then, he's laid low - not by drugs, in this case, just a bad back. "I worked so hard hunching over a drafting board or a drawing while designing clothes that I ruptured two-thirds of my discs," says Koon. After buying a home in Putnam County and downshifting, Koon is doing more fishing. But as a serial entrepreneur, he created the RowSeeLee brand, which includes candy, fragrances and retro T-shirts. The spiffy spot, formerly the home of Cape Cod Leather and the Cold Spring Candy Co., is a lightning rod. One merchant says: "He must've spent half a million dollars. How many cups of tea would you have to sell to pay that off?" A visitor offers: "It doesn't seem like it belongs in Cold Spring." Koon dismisses these sentiments: "Food and beverage employs more people than any other sector on Earth and, now that the pandemic is over, people are going back out to eat. I noticed that the subcategory 'alternative drinks' priced at $3 to $10 that people buy even when they're not thirsty spiked upward, and the needle sticking up the highest is alternative tea." On a recent Saturday soon after RowSeeLee opened, a parade of people skewing young plunked down $6.95 to $8.95 for fruit tea, slush tea, milk tea and fresh milk tea. Fine tea (cold and hot brew) is $4.50 to $6.50. Koon is especially bullish on bubble tea, which he said is expected to become a $6 billion global industry. The shop also offers coffee, matcha, four kinds of sandwiches and desserts. Though Koon intended the Cold Spring location to be his flagship, the venture became mired in red tape because the building's former owner, the nonprofit Knights of Columbus, had to clear the deed transfer with New York State. Koon and his team built and designed the interior, including the furnishings and artwork, based on his technical drawings for "every tile, piece of wood and sprig of moss down to the millimeter." During his heyday, "I never stayed in one city for more than 14 days straight," he says. "When my back went out, it humbled me. My body isn't a rubber band, so I can't keep running around like I did. I have to be more selective with my energy and calm down...

Ute på gatan passerar bilar med jämna mellanrum och kvarterets barn leker precis som vilken fredagseftermiddag som helst. Men inne i apartement D på Monroe Street är ingenting som vanligt. Väggarna i den slitna lägenheten är vita. På sängen ligger en halväten hamburgare och i ett hörn står en tv-apparat. På den lilla skärmen rullar en musikvideo med rapparen Biggie, men Dwayne rycks inte med av musiken.Han står istället framför spegeln - med en pistol i handen. Det var inte så här han hade tänkt sig att allt skulle sluta, men han känner att han inte har något val.För precis nu - när hans musikkarriär efter flera års rappande, äntligen är på väg att ta fart - så har hans mamma satt stopp. Trots att ett skivkontrakt känns inom räckhåll, så har hon förbjudit honom att fortsätta med musiken. Dwayne Michael Carter Junior har nyligen fyllt 12 år och han har bestämt sig. Om han inte får hålla på med hiphop så vill han inte längre leva.

Guys, we've done a lot of concept albums. From the greats, like The Wall and Deloused in the Comatorium, to some of the less greats, such as Songs about Jane and Christmas in the Stars. But NEVER have we encountered a concept that has been so poorly executed as today's album. "Garth Brooks in... the Life of Chris Gaines" (or Chris Gaines' "Greatest Hits" as it was released) is like a fever dream. It's seemingly a pretty simple story. Garth Brooks creates an alter ego that has black, straight hair and wears skinny pants and sings rock music. It's weird. People reject it. But the more you look into what went into this infamous publicity stunt, the stranger the story gets. Originally Chris Gaines was a character for a movie about a rock musician. This movie didn't pan out, but Brooks still wanted to do something with the idea, so he created a VH1 documentary about Chris Gaines' career, in which he is horribly disfigured and turned into the Garth Brooks look-alike that he became. Then he tried to take this prank to the next level by playing both himself and Chris on an episode of SNL, which approximately no one was fooled by. Confused? So are we. Join us as we try to understand why this album was made and what it even is. Brad, Jon, and Trevor are here for it.

A tractor cab might not seem like the ideal place for an aspiring artist to nurture her musical dreams, but it sure did the trick for Clare Dunn. Growing up in tiny Two Buttes, Colorado (population: 43), she spent days at a time helping plow and plant the family farm, sharpening her ears with uninterrupted music-listening in the driver’s seat, even as she strengthened her work ethic. “That’s where a lot of my creativity came from and where a lot of my vision was forged, was just having nothing else to do other than listen to music and dream all day long in the vast wide open of those plains,” she reflects. By the time the genial, grounded Great Plains native got the chance to record for MCA Nashville, she had fine-tuned her creative vision and was ready to do what it would take to make it a reality, which landed her in a truly unique position: she is the only female country artist in recent memory to have a hand in all of the writing, arranging and producing for her debut release, the Clare Dunn EP. “I remember feeling like, ‘I know that I’m asking my label to take this tremendous leap of faith on me. I will be in the studio day and night. I will go until it’s right,’” says the guitar-slinging singer and songwriter. “I feel so grateful that I’ve had a team around me that’s allowed me to do that and supported me every step of the way.” True to her word, Dunn spent virtually every waking moment holed up in The Cave at Nashville’s House of Blues studios, crafting her standout sound beneath the watchful eye of a Chuck Berry portrait with such A-list collaborators as Terry McBride, Jesse Frasure, and Ben West. And it definitely paid off. The hooks have irresistible pop-rock punch, the sentiments are shot through with heartland rock grit, the vocals show R&B-schooled rhythmic daring and the arrangements are both towering and dynamic. Every lick of guitar on there, from agile melodic figures to aggressive shredding, is hers. “I think there’s, like, one song where I didn’t play a mandolin part or something like that,” she says. “But other than that, every lead part is my playing—acoustic, electric, everything.” That goes for all of the vocal parts, too—except for a solitary Eric Paslay guest harmony. Dunn doesn’t sound quite like any other singer in any genre, but her sumptuous lower range and the attitude and lustiness she summons whenever it suits the song recalls such world-class pop performers as Pink or Annie Lennox. In her teens, Dunn geeked out over a VH1 “Behind the Music” documentary that showed Fleetwood Mac working out their meticulous vocal arrangements, and in the studio, she might devote as many as a dozen tracks to doubling the melody in a different octave or layering precision harmonies, which adds to the sheer size of her sound. Dunn began paying her dues back in southeast Colorado, where she grew up the second of two daughters born into a long line of farmers and ranchers. “We didn’t have any brothers,” she says. “We did basically everything that boys would normally do, driving 18-wheelers, combines, tractors. I was very grateful that my parents raised us with the mentality that we didn’t even think about it; it was just normal for us to do all that stuff. We were a small family operation, and it’s all hands on deck, all the time.” In her early years, Dunn soaked up her parents’ favorite classic rock and country records—lots of Bob Seger titles among them—and stocked up on Top 40 singles when the family made the trek to a store in a neighboring town that actually had a record bin. She also absorbed all manner of rhythmic pop and R&B during marathon dance classes, so devoted to her hip-hop dance team that she won a scholarship to study with Janet Jackson’s backup dancers in California. Says Dunn, “My mom wore out an engine in a Suburban hauling me back and forth to dance. I couldn’t go every day like the other kids, because I lived an hour away. So I would do makeup days, and spend all day from 10 in the morning to 10 o’clock at night just learning dances so that I could be in the recitals and competitions. Dance, for me, is such a form of expression. When I’m making music, I’m thinking about it from a dance perspective—beats and musicality and phrasing.” For all of her sonic smarts, the aspiring musician lived in a town with zero places to play live shows, and she had no clue how to pursue her dream after high school until she heard about the music business program at Nashville’s Belmont University. The private school was out of her family’s price range, but she didn’t let that stop her, raising a big chunk of her tuition by driving a silage truck. “Anytime that there wasn’t school going on,” she recalls, “I was on that truck. Spring break, summer break, fall break. If you could’ve grown silage in December, I would’ve been on it over Christmas break. Whenever I couldn’t be home to drive the truck, my family kept the wheels rolling. My mom, dad and sister all drove it for me when I couldn’t be there due to classes or internships.” It wasn’t until Dunn got to college that she learned how to play guitar. Unlike a lot of dorm room dabblers, she wasn’t content to just reach the point where she could accompany herself by strumming basic chords. “Whenever I’d try to talk to a guitar player and explain how I heard things, I could never explain it,” she says. “So I thought, ‘If I can’t explain it to them, I’d better see if I can learn how to do it myself, so I can get it the way that I hear it in my head.’ Lead guitar, for me, was where it was at. I had no interest in learning G, C, and D and stopping. I wanted to be able to sing on guitar.” After college, Dunn signed a deal that went sour and turned her attention to building a grassroots following through decidedly unglamorous touring. “I loaded up me and three guys in a four-door F-150 pickup and a trailer and we took off,” she laughs. “We put 100,000 miles on it in just a little over a year. We played bars—teeny, tiny bars—and honky-tonks and festivals. It was very bleak to start out with, pinching pennies, trying to magically make a dollar turn into three dollars, trying to keep morale up. Like, ‘I know we played for two people tonight, guys, but it’s fine. We’re gonna get beyond it!’ My family helped me then too. They believed in me so much that they were willing to sacrifice in order to help me build that following to get a record deal.” The audience quickly multiplied when SiriusXM’s The Highway channel put Dunn’s flirtatious number “Cowboy Side of You” in rotation, and the fans who came out to the shows found a vital, confident band leader stomping around, swapping fearsome solos and singing likes she meant it. Universal Music Group Nashville soon snatched her up, and she attracted in-demand co-writers like Paslay, West, Frasure, McBride, Tom Douglas, Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges, Chris Lindsey, Brett James, and Ryan Beaver, and hit the road with many of her musical heroes including Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, and Seger, who hand-picked Dunn as direct support on his Ride Out Tour. Now, that her with-it, down-home vision is captured on record and her sensuous single “Tuxedo” is impacting the country radio, Dunn is in the position to bring her music back to the people and places that taught her what determination was in the first place. “I can confidently say I would not be in this chair had it not been for that work ethic my parents and community instilled in me,” says the forward-thinking, farm-bred artist. “It’s been a tough road getting here and it’s taken longer than I would’ve liked, but I’ve always felt confident in setting and pursuing my goals. That work ethic is what drove me to learn how to play, and to go back out and play another show for ten people. Where I’m from, that’s just what you do—you work.”

We discuss Garth Brooks' alter ego and Jon Pardi's album launch Garth Brooks' alter ego Chris Gaines is celebrating 20 years. The album has a cult following as Brooks portrayed an Australian pop/rock star with a sex addiction. The project, released on September 28, 1999, was dubbed the pre-soundtrack to a film called The Lamb, but never made it to production. The album, which sold two million copies, was a "greatest hits" project full of great material, but fell short compared to Brooks' previous efforts. The Gaines project came with an elaborate backstory and very believable VH1 Behind the Music episode. Brooks lost weight, donned makeup and wore a body suit for the album's artwork. However, many people didn't quite understand the project and Brooks has chosen not to relive the era, stating, many fans and critics "kicked the shit out of me" for releasing the album. Jon Pardi has just released his third studio album, Heartache Medication, and on Friday night (Sept 27th), Pardi celebrated the album's launch with a performance at New York City's prestigious Hammerstein Ballroom. Our East Coast reporter Matt Bailey was in attendance and talks about how Pardi has now joined the ranks of Luke Combs, Eric Church, and Kacey Musgraves, whose music took off among the country music masses this decade. Matt also attended Pardi's Verizon BUILD Series earlier in the day, where he got to ask a question on the livestream. Hear that question and Pardi's answer, and hear Matt's commentary on how well the show went. Check out our other Podcasts. Subscribe to us on iTunes Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts and TuneIn.

Bohemian Rhapsody left us underwhelmed. Brian Singer left us angry, but Rami Malek saved the entire experience. His performance of Freddie Mercury was beautiful and vivacious too bad the same things cannot be said about the rest of the movie.  #BohemianRhapsody #Oscars 2019 #ConversationswithOscar #JusticeforBealeStreet

In this week's episode, we take a break from our Binge & Purge episodes to talk about one of our favorite VH1 shows 'Behind The Music.' The Metallica episode is clearly at the top of our list, but whoever VH1 did a 'Behind The Music' on was a great episode. There's a lot of content in this episode that we already knew, but VH1 did a great job of cramming a long Metallica history into 45 minuets. It makes us wish someone would do a 4 hour documentary on the boys. Do you remember watching this episode when it first aired live? Let us know your thoughts at metalupyourpodcastshow@gmail.com.

Joe White is an author, speaker, international trainer, and life coach dedicated to helping individuals, business leaders and couples.  Joe White, who was born and raised in Sharon Hill, Delaware County, has more than 14 years of experience helping people turn their lives around. Following years of “real life” experience, Joe founded Get Life Coaching in 1999.  His perseverance to survive a near-death overdose , beat drug addiction, and a lifetime of personal struggles have given him the skills and energy to help thousands of people change their lives for the better. The story of how Joe White came into life coaching more resembles a VH1 Behind the Music episode than a traditional story.  After dropping out of college, Joe left the Philadelphia area to pursue his dreams of becoming a model.   He took a job as a VIP concierge in a New York City nightclub in the early 90's to supplement his modeling income, but encountered a serious alcohol and cocaine addiction.  Joe's battle with addiction eventually cost him his success and nearly killed him.  In an act of desperation to change his life, he purchased a set of Tony Robbins self-help cassette tapes and studied them relentlessly.  Within a few short years, Joe had not only turned his life around, but was being courted by The Tony Robbins Organization to join his coaching team.  Being the perennial entrepreneur, Joe decided to go out on his own and, thus, Get Life Coaching was born.

Allow a few seconds for buffering.Yahoo! player or right click HERE to download | Launch pop-up player Greg Renoff is not only a rabid Van Halen fan, but also a Ph. D. in history. Dissatisfied with the lack of information on Van Halen's earliest years, he put his degree to use studying not what happened to the lost colony at Roanoke Island (snore!), but how did Van Halen's years playing backyard parties prepare them to be the dominant hard rock group of the following decade?The result is Van Halen Rising: How a Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal. The book is deep with drama and detail, thanks to the over 230 interviews Renoff conducted with insiders such as longtime bassist Michael Anthony, producer Ted Templeman and even David Lee Roth's sister.Just a month after its release the book already tops Amazon sales charts for its categories, and has garnered positive reviews from top rock writer Chuck Klosterman and Rolling Stone. Now Greg Renoff talks to Art about his book, possibly the most detailed rock n' roll bio ever written. 59 minutes.Art's comments: "I mean to brag, but I've made a pilgrimage to the original Van Halen home, Pasadena City College and the Pasadena Civic. As exciting as it was, if I had had Van Halen Rising and had known the exact history that transpired on these sites, it would've been even better! After reading this book, I can just see David Lee Roth on the Van Halens' doorstep, preparing to knock and take his place in history."In any future VH1 Behind the Music about Van Halen, Greg Renoff will certainly be the talking head you'll see most. I had a great time chatting with him."
