Send us a text

Remember the first time you heard "Can't Buy Me Love"? We kick off our latest episode of "Music In My Shoes" by celebrating the incredible reach of our podcast, now enjoyed in 35 countries and over 400 cities. We reminisce about the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night," comparing its UK and US versions, and we share a quirky personal story about displaying the album cover in the bathroom. We also take a nostalgic look at the 1987 film "Can't Buy Me Love," starring Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson, and its unique use of the iconic Beatles' track.
But that's just the beginning. We explore an amusing high school transformation movie, with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" taking center stage, and we delve into the significance of other Beatles classics like "And I Love Her" and "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You." The episode takes a fun twist as we talk about George Strait breaking a concert attendance record and share a hilarious anecdote involving Flavor Flav and Martha Stewart at a Dead & Company show. We honor the late Bill Walton, the world's tallest deadhead, and his extraordinary connection to the Grateful Dead.
As we wrap up the episode, we journey through music history, starting with a review of two recent Rolling Stones shows that I went to see. Yes Mick, Keith, and Ron can still rock it! We discuss Roger Daltrey's thoughts on the predictability of modern concerts and our own habits of checking setlists. We groove to Donna Summer's timeless hits, including "Hot Stuff" and "I Feel Love," and celebrate her influence in the late '70s and early '80s. Then, we dive into Hüsker Dü's unique sound, focusing on drummer Grant Hart and standout tracks from "Zen Arcade." To conclude, I encourage everyone to keep the music playing. Tune in for a trip down memory lane and some unforgettable musical moments!
