THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP and CUNK ON CHRISTMAS: Reviewed! Jeffrey Bahlo, Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Quincy Jones, Bob Geldof, Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson, Willy Nelson, Bette Middler, Cindy Lauper, Tina Turner, Paul Simon … no Prince, sure … but hey, we even have Huey Lewis and Christopher Anousis! These are just some of the names featured in today’s show. You’re so lucky! Welcome to the greatest morning in podcasting! That’s right, because it’s Thursday the 14th of November. And in another timeline, your boys just witnessed the magic of Bob Dylan live last night. In this recording, we will be talking about it as if it’s in the future. All the timelines, eh? As the great man himself once said (speaking about his song “Tangled Up In Blue”): “You’ve got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there’s very little you can’t imagine not happening”. Indeed Bob. Indeed. But hey, Bob man, let’s talk about a song you very likely don’t remember that you sang on: We Are The World. And let’s talk about the documentary about that song. And let’s talk about Christmas. With fictionalised, mockumentary hosts. Let’s do it all.
