Where would we be without charts. When we were young we listened to the Top 40...that was our first guiding force of music. How many of us listened to Casey Kasem count down the biggest hits in the land every week. For me, in Toronto, it was every Sunday. But did you ever stop to think when those charts started?
Meanwhile, some artists live for and on the road. But endless touring can sometimes promote odd behaviour. Some artists are self destructive, while others go wandering before a show. We have a tale about the later.
Finally, parodies are tricky things and the truly great satires are done by very talented individuals. Also, it is the most sincerest form of flattery. But do parodies sell? Do they top charts, well, we have a story about one such album.
All of that plus charts, chat and even Nathan's Hot Dogs at Coney Island, on this episode of The Way-Back Music Machine.
