Episode 24: Espadrilles - 1987 (March 9th 2020)

'The Podcast that’s fed up ‘cause all you wanna do is criticize'

This episode:  We aint wastin’ no more time 

We walk down the only road we’ve ever known and ride the storm of the century all the way back to 1987, where Toxic Waste Mutant Villains are all the rage, and everybody wore espadrilles (even and especially the Toxic Waste Mutant Villains); We unearth Alexander O’Neal’s unreasonable backstage rider for any and all gigs played in Skegness; we haemorrhage (even more) listeners after we criticize Robin Williams’ friends, ideas and lifestyle; Jeremy invents an Aussie ‘Poodle Rock’ band called Ayres Rock, and nominates Van Halen (short-term) lead singer Sammy Hagar to become Bristol’s next Mayor; and Vince goes crown bowling with the cast of Dirty Dancing. 

The artists we discuss and rate this show are Alexander O’Neal, Whitesnake (and ‘Poodle Rock’ bands), Steve Winwood, and Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.
