Famous Lost Words

605 - Paul McCartney! Tears For Fears! Arrested Development! TJ vs The VJ!


Listen Later

What happens when the world’s most famous musician is forced to stay at home during lockdown? Why, he records an album, of course!  In a new interview, Paul McCartney tells us what he’s done during “rockdown” – including the creation of “McCartney III”. He also explains how working with his daughter Mary is very much like working with his late wife Linda. The 78-year-old former Beatle also talks about his many upcoming projects and raves about the Peter Jackson Fab Four documentary coming out later this year.

            We also have a great 1995 interview with Tears For Fears. Roland Orzabal explains how “The Seeds Of Love” album was conceived and which TFF song he no longer likes. He also does a hilarious Beatle impression that must be heard to be believed!

            Where have all the protest songs gone?  We ask that question to Speech, leader of the hip-hop band Arrested Development, who rocketed to fame almost 20 years ago with their debut “3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days In The Life Of…” and walked off with a Best New Artist Grammy.  After this year’s insurrection at the U.S. capitol in Washington D.C., Speech released a new single called “A Different World”.  He talks about that song, growing up Black in America, the heyday of Arrested Development and what R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe told him about being prepared for fame.

            And finally, we have a rematch between Tom & Christopher in “TJ vs The VJ”, in which Tom tries to trip up Christopher on some MuchMusic trivia, and Christopher uses yet another excuse to taunt Tom about the worst song ever, “We Built This City”!
