The story of Pat Benatar is about a woman, empowered despite the male-dominated system, who in cahoots with her six-string partner-for-life, Neil Giraldo (aka Spider) kicked the world square in the ass, repeatedly!

Her music reached beyond the Pop pablum assigned to many women of the era! Showing that there was more than primp and Hollywood scenester hard rock, Pat delivered real rock, and gave millions of young women and girls, with their own musical dreams, a hero!

Take time to learn stuff about stuff you already know stuff about!

Bob Dylan burst onto the American Folk scene shortly after he arrived in New York City. Quickly, he made major impressions inside the local music community via Greenwich Village, and as a popular artist upon releasing his first few records on Columbia.

He and The Beatles immediately hit it off with mutual admiration and inspiration. Dylan's expanded musical pallet was part of the early sessions for what became, Highway 61 Revisited! With his 3rd appearance at the influential 1965 Newport Folk Festival looming in late July, he packed up his studio band, and made a plan to "go electric at Newport..."

The Imbalanced Brothers tell the tale, giving their own view of its historic importance o Folk, Rock, and the fusion of the two!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll - Thin Lizzy: Romeo vs. Johnny The Fox!

Thin Lizzy: Romeo vs. Johnny The Fox!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

play

11/28/22 • 47 min

Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott, and his friend, and cohort, Gary Moore worked together from their youth, on and off. They recorded in a band called Skid Row, and would associate through the decades, until Phil's death in 1986 at age 36. That included stints in Thin Lizzy, the band Phil led, which we explore this week.

Their songs had their own legend, and broke them worldwide, but it was the live shows that sealed their reputation, badass as it was. Markus and Ray try to detail as much as possible about the formation and evolution of Thin Lizzy, and the varied factors that worked for, and against, the band.

Hope you find some good stuff in this one. Music, history, or something else...

John meant the world, to most people, and definitely to all of us. His music, his message, and his fun way of spreading it, attracted so many to him. One wicked soul saw things differently than most. He took John's life on 12/8/80...

Forgiveness is a virtue, but forgive us for being less than virtuous in our disdain for this man, may he rot for eternity when his life ends. For us, the living, we have found ways to move forward for decades now. This episode can help those who still mourn...

Markus and Ray had two very different evenings on December 8th, 1980. Hear their stories, and a Rock & Roll intersection on that date, and the mournful night after.
