610 - Janet Jackson, Robert Palmer, BJ Thomas, Beatles v Stones, Gn'R Cool Song Facts

Famous Lost Words

This week: an incredible 2004 Janet Jackson interview, recorded just weeks after her infamous Super Bowl appearance. Janet is reticent at first, but then she relaxes and talks about everything from her childhood, her love of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder (who were family friends), her personal life, her live performances and yes, the Super Bowl. A great chat.

We also have an early ‘80s interview with Robert Palmer as he explains the secrets behind his music. He also talks about how he tries to revolt against the idea of style, which is very odd for a guy with such a stylish image.

With the recent passing of BJ Thomas, we uncovered an exceptional 1989 interview with BJ and Roger Ashby. BJ reveals how his troubled relationship with his father spurred him to a career in music. BJ also talks about his biggest hits, his friendship with Elvis and how Bob Dylan (!) was the first choice to record “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”.

Tom breaks down some Cool Song Facts about Guns N’ Roses, including the reasons for their breakup... and how David Bowie tried to help Slash conquer his addiction.

Plus, Christopher turns the tables on Tom for “Beatles or Stones”! Does Tom REALLY love KISS more than The Beatles? Tune in to find out!
