Brightside Radio Episode 70: Dewey Cox

Episode 70 is dedicated to Dewey Cox, a true musical icon in the eyes of generations. Not an icon that people can often notice on a daily basis, rather ever. The kind of icon that lies in the shadows, sprouting truth through outrageous satire.

Listen in for the best music of the week, mixed into one great playlist featuring Jody Highroller.

The Dewey Cox story is mostly based on Johnny Cash; but the character also includes elements of the lives and careers of Roy Orbison, Glen Campbell, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Donovan, John Lennon, James Brown, Jim Morrison, Conway Twitty, Neil Diamond, and Brian Wilson. The film also directly lampoons artists Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, in addition to some artists playing themselves, including Eddie Vedder and Ghostface Killah. In addition, the film parodies or pays tribute to the musical styles ofBob Dylan, David Bowie, Van Dyke Parks with Brian Wilson, and the seventies punk rock movement.
