Take a trip back to 1970 with us, Scott McLean and the Wrecking Two, as we explore a year of radical shifts in music and movies. Discover how the echoes of the '60s intertwined with the dawn of a new era, from Syd Barrett's haunting solo pursuits to the debates surrounding the legendary Jimi Hendrix and his influence on artists like Prince. Our discussion isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's an excavation of the profound moments that continue to shape our cultural legacy.

Join our roundtable as we chat about everything from the birth of heavy metal with Black Sabbath to the quirky anecdotes surrounding Led Zeppelin's pseudonymous gig in Copenhagen. The conversation takes unexpected turns with topics like the dark side of the industry, including the controversies of Peter Yarrow and John Lennon, and the formation of bands like Aerosmith and The Doobie Brothers. We'll even delve into the tragic losses that shocked the music world, remembering the likes of Janis Joplin. This episode is more than just a history lesson; it's a heartfelt homage to the beats and reels that defined a generation.

And it's not just about the music - the silver screen gets its due as well. Debate with us whether "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" claims the title for the best sequel of all time and revel in the personal stories that connect us to the cinematic adventures from 1970. By the time you've finished listening, you'll have not only savored the flavors of a bygone era but also gained a deeper appreciation for the milestones and the missteps that paved the way for today's cultural landscape.
