Ep. 202 - Snorting Cupcakes, Skipping “Imagine,” And Other Honest Music Takes

Send a text We riff on how 1969 quietly engineered the 70s, why certain “boomer graduation” songs feel like revisionist history, and what Steely Dan actually meant. We also rank rock films that defined the look of music and spotlight four classics written at lightning speed. • Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, and Elton John’s early signals for the 70s • A myth check on graduation anthems and late boomer memory • Reunions, Facebook, and why nostalgia gets messy • Steely Dan’s Rikki as a literal phone number • Rock films that shaped music’s visual language • Songs written fast: Dylan, Bowie, Elton, Guns N’ Roses If you liked it, share it If you like this podcast SHARE it.
