#550- Eddie Schwartz, Raised Lobes, and MLK Timecop

Eddie Schwartz is the definition of a "songwriter's songwriter." While you might not recognize his face in a crowd, you have definitely screamed his lyrics at a karaoke bar, in your car, or at a stadium. As the man behind Pat Benatar’s "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," he didn't just write a song; he wrote an anthem for an entire generation. We chat with Eddie about all things music and here some amazing stories from over 40 years in the music industry. A great listen. We also completely go off the rails as usual as Mike feuds with Sydney Sweeney and defends Kanye, Scott must play a game called MLK Timecop, and Mike fails to let to let the audience know what he was doing for an entire episode. Have a listen!
