Famous Lost Words

1001 - Robert Plant, "Purple Rain", BB King and our fave rock stars!


Listen Later

          We are back with Season Ten! 

Christopher and Tom begin by talking about their favourite interviews ever. 

          Then, we launch into one of the best interviews you’ll ever hear with one the most reluctant rock stars ever – Robert Plant.  This 2005 interview with our friend Bill Welychka is very revealing.  And within that interview is three episodes of “When Rock Stars attack… which are all pretty funny.

          Then, we talk about the making of the film, album and song “Purple Rain”, which came out 40 years ago.  And we’ll talk to the author of a book about that movie – and all the stories behind that.  (By the way, you can also hear the long version of that Purple Rain chat in the Famous Lost Words podcast feed, including how Stevie Nicks almost got involved and why Prince decided to call up the guys from Journey.)

          And we have a wonderful segment with the legendary BB King – which includes one of my favourite stories – about how he used to quiet down an unruly audience. 

          All that, plus some Music News about the very contentious lawsuit over who gets to use the name The Guess Who.  And that story has a very good ending if you’re a fan of Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman.
