Show 48 of The Way-Back Music Machine and we get to visit a country we haven't in the past.  

This week we explore an early, and some would say pioneering, rap song. This song brought rap into the mainstream and a whole new audience.

Then we visit Sweden, our first time there, for a prestigious award. Who gets it, how does the artist react to the news? How is the award accepted? What is the response from other artists? So many questions and we will answer them.

Finally, is it an urban myth or did it really happen? Did a rock star use his dad as a drug? Confusing question...well, it is a confusing story.

All that plus charts, our Memphis to Merseyside segment, a cool commercial and more on Episode 48 of The Way-Back Music Machine!
