  • Tales of Weird Rock’n’Roll Sex

    Tales of Weird Rock’n’Roll Sex
    Nov 19 2025
    If there’s an official mission statement for the kind of music we all love, it’s “sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll” …these are the three main food groups in this world… All three of these things affect the same portions of the brain: the amygdala, the nucleus accumbens, and the cerebellum…. All of them are involved in the secretion and regulation of dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone… Dopamine is a very addictive hormone…whenever our brains squirt it out, the body goes “this is good! I want more!” …it happens when we hear a great song….it happens with certain drugs and alcohol, which is the basis of addiction…and it happens with an orgasm… Once you’re inside this bubble, you may find things rather permissive…as long as you’re producing, people will look the other way…there’s no one to tell you “no”…and it doesn’t take long for some people to get lost in this world, coming to believe that normal rules of polite society don’t apply….you’re special, meaning that you can do anything… That’s when your judgement starts to become suspect…and that’s when things start to get strange…how strange?...well… Welcome to a show all about rock’n’roll and weird tales of sex.

  • The Backstage Rider

    The Backstage Rider
    Nov 12 2025
    Going on tour is hard…you’re away from home for months at a time…there’s little sleep, bad food, too many drugs, a surfeit of alcohol, late nights, temptations into bad behavior, crazy people, and that bass player who refuses to wash his feet, probably because he’s on his phone moaning to his girlfriend about how miserable he is… All that occupies about 22 hours of the day…the best times come when you’re at the venue…there’s the excitement of the lead-up, the after-show satisfaction, and in between, the gig itself… But every show is different…a different city…a different place to sleep…vans, buses, and, if you’re lucky, airplanes…for that time on the road, your sanctuary becomes the dressing room, the one place over which you have some measure of control—if you know what you’re doing… This brings me to the concert rider, the part of the contract with the promoter that specifies what an act has to be provided with before, during, and after a show… Once the band arrives, the road manager is the point-person…he or she has to make sure the promoter adheres to the terms of the rider… Most of the details are pretty mundane because they’re basically logistical…the times of the load-in and load-out…electrical requirements and the number of local electricians required to make them happen…how many forklifts and drivers are needed to move gear around…catering for the crew…parking for the tour buses…how merch sales are going to work…that kind of thing… Where things get interesting are the artist’s requirements, the things they need backstage to ensure they’re in a good headspace to play a great show…mess up the rider and the promoter runs the risk of having a pouty, petulant, and otherwise pissed off performance… And i get it…if you’re an artist and you don’t get what you need before a gig, then you’re going to feel disrespected… Coming up with a list of requests that can be enforced night after night, venue after venue, city after city, and country after country is a delicate and essential thing…and let’s just say that some bands are better than others at this sort of thing… Welcome to the wild work of the backstage rider… Learn more about your ad choices.

I am such a big fan of this podcast. Alan Cross knows every thing about music and the music world. One thing that could be better is less well disturbing things
