    Play That Rock n' Roll: Bob Seger, Part Two: "Rockstar Era" (1980 - 2024)
    Jan 13 2025
    This is Part TWO of Play That Rock n' Roll's retrospective about the legendary career of BOB SEGER. In this episode, we cover the commercial heyday of the Silver Bullet Band, Bob's foray into the MTV era, and what he has been up to in recent years. We also discuss some major pop culture events Bob passed on, his connections to Miami Vice, and the biggest chart hit of his career. To give further insight into some of the topics covered, I have included clips from my conversation with music journalist Gary Graff, who co-wrote a book about Bob's early career. I also included a selection of my conversation with Brian Colburn of the My Weekly Mixtape podcast about one of Bob's best albums.

  • Ugly American Werewolf in London: Van Halen - Balance

    Ugly American Werewolf in London: Van Halen - Balance
    Jan 11 2025
    Van Halen is one of the most legendary rock acts in history. With 2 diamond selling records (Van Halen, 1984) the band was popular enough to withstand switching out a charismatic lead singer in the mid-eighties and go on to have even bigger success on the charts (all 4 Sammy Hagar led Van Halen albums went to #1 in the US). After For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge spawned several big hits, a huge tour and a killer live album, fans were anxious to see what the boys would come up with next. However, after the influence of grunge (blech) had taken hold of the industry and the band did it's best to move forward through adversity (the death of their manager and Eddie's struggle with alcohol and his attempt at sobriety among other things) things were not all well in the Van Halen camp. And it bleeds into their 10th album and final with Sammy Hagar (and for the most part Michael Anthony) Balance. From the offputting cover, the heavy themed lyrics and one quarter of the tracks being instrumentals, this album is not very popular with the diehards. Having a big international hit with Can't Stop Lovin' You was big for the band but was perceived as a bit soft to the hard rock fans and passe even to big fans of the Sammy years. Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do) is Sammy's take on Kurt Cobain taking his own life and is heavier than most Van Halen fare. While there are some standouts like Aftershock and moments of greatness that harken back to the heyday of Van Halen, it feels more like a band trying to come to grips with themselves in a post-grunge, sober Eddie Van Halen world. At the time, we had moved on from Van Halen and figured if we really wanted to check it out one day, it would be there. As it turns 30 on January 24, 2025, we thought it would be a good time to take the opportunity to explore Balance, see if the reservations we had on the album 3 decades ago were justified and if there are any songs we're sorry we missed out on. How do feel about it having listened to it? You'll have to listen to find out.
