From time to time, I will populate the main feed with a Patreon episode that's at least a year old so casual listeners might get a taste of all the extra scholarship that does occur, but lands nowhere near a published episode:

• Bowie in ‘74
• The rest of the SPIN 1995 readers poll
• Wanda Jackson’s book
• One glimpse of the Beatles
• 1982 Penelope Spheeris interview
• More Nick Tosches!
• Gilbert Gottfried on “Spirit in the Sky”
• Tom Waits recording in the early 2000s with Mark Howard

Original description for this episode:

Shaboom! Two hours of hotness for you today in the wake of my recent 3-parter on The Crow via the main feed. This was a nice slice of all-over-the-place pie, as the whole Patreon endeavor will surely continue to be.

So Today we gots:

• A quick look at a (post)90s rock book
• A Spin Reader’s Poll
• Go Head in the Rain
• Sun Records stories - Roscoe Jordan on Ike Turner,
• Then Nick Tosches on Jackie Brentston,
• Two onstage deaths in Rock
• Gilbert on where the love grows
• The history of Altamont continued, featuring Monterey Pop and Bill Graham + the establishment of both Fillmores East and West

Today we finish up Ritchie's story with some more background on the filmmaker and the movie I've come to love even more and apparently get goddamn defensive about.

• Reviewing the legacy of the film via a look back with Valdez and Lou Diamond Phillips
• TV Tropes about "La Bamba!"
• My takeaways about the making of the film in 3 parts
• A look back at Luis Valdez's career and activism featuring a note about his cousin ("that vato?") Caesar Chavez and the work of Teatro Campesino
• A brief look at the historical significance of American Pauchocos with a detour into some James Ellroy because I wanted to and it's my show, dammit
• More of Ritchie Valens' life story and rock n' roll legacy continued from last episode
• Me getting REAL cranky about a douchey Pitchfork article I read while conducting research for this one
• An update on the show's ongoing relationship with Radish Mattress, Inc
